Rumour: Nintendo buy Sega and Capcom**
Posted 14 Dec 2002 at 00:56 by guest
There is a rumour that Nintendos big announcement will be revealed on this Tuesday and what will it be? Apparently, Nintendo want to take the Triforce collaborations further down the line, by actually buying out Namco and Sega. But Namco backed out, feeling too much creative control would be taken down to Kyoto so Nintendo opted to go for Capcom. The deal should either be done or almost completed, this would give Nintendo a larger creative base to fight Sony and Microsoft.
Now I must stress to you that this is just a rumour but on a personal note, I have a gut feeling that there is at least a little truth in this. Capcom have shown a lot of enthuasism for Gamecube recently, haven't they though? Still, it's a just a rumour, but we are checking this out. So if it turns out that it is true, just remember who told you first.
UPDATED
Our source (who wishes to remain anonymous) has added that Capcom will become a first-party whereas Sega will merge with Nintendo, not bought as we originally reported. And Nintendo have stepped up security because of this leak so we won't be able to get anymore information until the announcement on Tuesday.

We would like to point out once again that this is an article purely based on speculation/rumours. We can't stress that enough and all the talk that has been ciculating about it is all, also rumour and your own opinions.
