According to documents disclosed in September this year, Microsoft had planned to acquire Nintendo. Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser recently accepted an interview with the media and commented on the previously disclosed information, saying: “We have a good relationship with Microsoft.”
It was reported in September this year that an email released in August 2020 showed that Spencer believed that Nintendo’s board of directors was actively promoting the appreciation of the company’s stock at that time, and Microsoft was the most likely American company to cooperate.
Considering that Microsoft board member Valueact is also acquiring a large amount of Nintendo stock, Spencer believes this will create opportunities for both parties, and Microsoft’s board can fully support the acquisition of Nintendo (and Valve) should the opportunity arise.
In an interview today, Bowser responded to the previously disclosed acquisition plan, saying:
We have a very good relationship with Microsoft and have deep cooperation in many aspects, and this has been reflected in Switch.
Minecraft is now on Switch, we’re bringing the Banjo-Kazooie franchise to Super Smash Bros., and we look forward to this partnership continuing.Microsoft signed a 10-year contract with Nintendo earlier this year in order to promote the acquisition of Blizzard. In the future, it hopes to introduce series of games such as “Call of Duty” to the Switch console.
