- Where will the Xenoseries go?
- What about the fighting games?
- What about Ridge Racer, and all the rest?
This isn't true, is it?

Woah, seems like a weird purchase. I cannot imagine playing Tekken on a GC controller. Well hopefully this will be confirmed true or false soon so people won't get all pissy like during the time of the Rare 'rumors'
Well Soul Calibur 2 will already be on GCN and I have heard that Ridge Racer was coming to GCN as well. I don't really care if all of their stuff is on GCN or not, but I know some of you would just be so angry about that, so for all of you, I don't think they'd be Nintendo exclusive unless Nintendo completely owned them, so either way, don't fret. I don't care either way, as someone who is mainly a Nintendo (and SEGA) supporter.

A company buying another is never a good thing, since that would be some individuality loss for the bought one. I don't like the way the market is today, it is polarizing too much...
Don't like it?
BLAME MICROSOFT!!!
If this stuff goes down, I just see it as a way for the other companies to get rid of Microsoft. At least in a videogame console capacity. If MS wasn't so big on buying everything and ruining the fun of videogaming then I think something like this wouldn't happen.
Then again, it's just a rumor, but if Namco are already helping Nintendo produce games (Triforce remember?) why not just go all the way? What's really stopping you? I mean the Triforce games are gonna be on the GC anyway, just bring ALL of Namco's games over.
In a way, I want this deal to happen, but at the same time I really don't. This buying stuff is getting really bad right now. Also, I was reading in EGM, and they said at E3 last year that Nintendo was against multiplatforming games. Look it up if you don't believe me. They were saying that if 1 game comes out and makes it big, then it loses it's steam when you put it on all the consoles. Then you makes sequels and, etc.

And who can forget one of their most notorious policies: "If you release a game on other systems, the PS version must have something that the other console version's don't have."
Are you sure Sony had that policy? I know that Nintendo had that policy, during the Nintendo 64 time period at the very least. Even if it was something as small as an extra costume or level, most (if not all) games that appeared on the N64 had something that could be included on a bullet list as exclusive.
Using Mortal Kombat Trilogy as an example, the N64 version had a three-vs-three battle mode as an exclusive that could not be used in any other version of the game. Meanwhile, the PSX and Windows versions of the game were identical.
[Edit: Changed wording to show the 3v3 option was the exclusive content]
