Nintendo bought 2.6% of Bandai, placing amongst the 10 biggest actionaries of Bandai. The rumors of Nintendo wanting to buy Bandai are so far denied by both of them, but after SquareEnix...

Let's not forget all the gundam games. I can't wait to see the gundams, pokemons, and power rangers duking it out in the next Smash Bros.

Fenegi's analysis from Video Fenky, which I found sort of insightful:

"With a dedicated lack of decent information at the moment and deadlines staring at me in the face, my quick conclusion is that it's a move on Nintendo's part to win Bandai closer to their side and get them to release Gundam and Super Robot Taisen games (which always do lurrvely in Japan) on their machine. Maybe exclusively on their machine, even. Since Bandai has the rights to lots of Japanese robot and comic licenses, Nintendo could also come up with creative ways to use those and attract more kiddies and nostalgic adults to the Cube. A Gundam-themed version of Custom Robo springs to mind immediately. Or how about a version of Smash Bros. with characters from Shonen Jump?"

If I remember correctly, what he's describing is exactly what Sony did with Square: buying stock to exert influence and increases the profits from already profitable alliances. It's not likely that we'll be seeing Bandando in the future, but we might be seeing some exclusive Super Robot Taisen titles for the GameCube or possibly some cross promotions similar to Link's appearance in Soul Calibur 2.

Awww, man Nintendo just wants to get ahold of Bandai's top-subsidary Banpresto. :(

No offense, but the SRW series has always been better on Sony's console. :P

Though the GBA SRWs are alright.
