Prepare to be stunned as a leaked email from the head of gaming at Microsoft reveals an astonishing revelation: Microsoft’s board of directors was secretly “fully supportive” of a potential takeover of Nintendo! This bombshell news could have reshaped the gaming industry forever, but Nintendo wasn’t on board.

Why is this a game-changer? This potential merger would have rewritten gaming history as we know it, creating a powerhouse like no other. But, here’s the catch – Nintendo had to be willing to play along.

Back in the summer of 2020, that willingness was nowhere to be found, according to an email sent by Phil Spencer, a top Microsoft executive, to Takeshi Numoto, Microsoft’s commercial chief marketing officer. In this confidential email, Spencer mused about the tantalizing prospect of Microsoft acquiring Nintendo.

Spencer pointed out that Nintendo had a war chest of cash, making them less inclined to engage in business deals. He hinted that a major stockholder might be the catalyst needed to push Nintendo toward daring ventures. “Without that catalyst, I don’t see an angle to a near-term mutually agreeable merger of Nintendo and MS, and I don’t think a hostile action would be a good move, so we are playing the long game,” Spencer wrote.

What’s even more mind-blowing? Spencer revealed that Microsoft’s board was not only open to the idea of acquiring Nintendo but also eyeing PC powerhouse Valve as a potential target.

The plot thickens: This email from Spencer was unearthed in an unexpected twist. It was tucked away in a trove of exhibits on the U.S. District Court of Northern California’s website, part of the Federal Trade Commission’s lawsuit to block Microsoft’s massive $69 billion bid for Activision Blizzard. It wasn’t even listed as an exhibit – eagle-eyed gamers on the Resetera forum stumbled upon it while dissecting a seemingly unrelated deposition.

In conclusion, as of 2020, Phil Spencer still clung to hope that the epic merger of Microsoft and Nintendo could become a reality one day. He believed it could be a career-defining moment and a brilliant move for both companies, even though it seemed like Nintendo was hesitant to embrace a future without their iconic hardware.
