Nintendo Wants to Keep Doing What Nintendoes

According to Gamespot via Gamasutra, Nintendo intends to push their interest in public shares of the company to over a 10% stake, in an effort to stave off perspective hostile takeover attempts. The deal, which will cost the company over $200m, will more than likely guarantee at least one more show behind Sony and Microsoft in the console wars, ultimately quarantining their amazingly fun titles to zany looking hardware with touch screens and gyromite controllers instead of processing power. But, hey, whether you love 'em or hate 'em, Nintendo will at least stay cohesive, even if Nintendogs 2 will cost $250.
