Don’t you sometimes wonder what this comment used to say, for it to start a debate in the comments?

[TheRubenpit]

For those of you who don't know: Microsoft actually sent representatives to Nintendo for a meeting about buying Nintendo and the people at Nintendo really did laugh at them!

[kovich]

*"Small Japanese Company"*
They were not clowns, they were a traveling circus

[switchnx]

And they continued to laugh for the rest of the day.

[johnsummers]

Nintendo You Can Have RareWare Tho.

RareWare I Don't Like Where This Is Going.

[ThrowbackJTT]

Nintendo: Oh wait you were serious. Let me laugh even harder

[Aembered]

*Legend says Nintendo is still laughing*

[pats]

When you realize Disney also tried to buy Nintendo

[Lem_Gaming]

It's funny how Microsoft thought that by buying RareWare they would also get the Donkey Kong games.

[riftheraldtv]

Nintendo is the Disney of the gaming world you can't just buy it

[thunderflare]

The real joke is Microsoft was serious.

[garythemoth]

I think some guy in a microsoft meating got mad or annoyed at the others ideas and he just yelled out angrily:why don't you just buy nintendo or something!" And all the rest actually took it seriously

[YowLife]

Microsoft:
"We have a very generous offer."
(Slides check over to executives.)

Nintendo:
"$10 dollars?"

Microsoft:
"I hear that's a lot of "yen" in your country."



[PART 2]

Microsoft:
"*chuckles* Playing hard to get huh? I'll add a few zeros to make this bigger.

(Slides check back to Nintendo.)

Nintendo:
"...Now it says $10.00 dollars."

Microdoft:
"But look how *big* the number looks now."



[PART 3]

Microsoft:
You drive a hard bargain Nintendo, but I'm sure adding this will soften you up.

(Brings in a rocking horse.)

Microsoft:
I hear you all like "fun". So we brought you Zelda's horsey Ebony.

[stavegrimise]

Who else laughed with Nintendo? I did, totally couldn't help myself.

[sebu]

Imagine coming home and explain to your wife, after she asks how the meeting went, that everyone laughed at you for an hour.

[Exodiathetormentor]

Not accurate, nintendo isnt laughing for 11 seconds

"Small japanese company"
Joker: Very poor chose of words.

[aaronx]

THIS scene is what came to my head upon hearing the news

[feverdreamnonstop]

"Small Japanese company"
Nintendo: *WHEEZE*
