Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser says the company's relationship with Microsoft remains 'great.'
Last month, a number of Microsoft's confidential emails leaked online. Among those emails was one written by Xbox boss Phil Spencer, who openly spoke about a desire to see the company acquire Nintendo. In the email, Spencer laid out the logistical difficulties, but noted that"getting Nintendo would be a career moment." Since then, many have been wondering about any potential impact those comments might have on the relationship between the two companies.
Nintendo and MicrosoftBowser specifically mentions Minecraft on Switch and Banjo-Kazooie in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but the relationship between Nintendo and Xbox has produced even bigger results during the Switch era. While PlayStation initially fought against enabling cross-play, Microsoft and Nintendo fully embraced the option, and even participated in a marketing campaign that argued that gaming is"better together.
Acquisitions in the Video Game IndustryBowser's comments were part of a broader question from Inverse about the growing trend of acquisitions in the video game industry. Over the last few years, Microsoft has spent billions to acquire both Bethesda and Activision Blizzard, and PlayStation similarly spent quite a bit on Bungie.
