Seems the the old prez Yamauchi sold his shares to Nintendo. Combined with the shares Nintendo already has, Nintendo is now the majority owner of the Mariners.

You realize that now all they have to do is shift one letter one place in the alphabet, and they'll have the Seattle Marioers.

Now Nintendo can own another dying brand.

 

[MrAngryFace]

So are they going to air Mariners games on Saturday mornings so the kids can watch?

 

[The Bookerman]

Now Nintendo can own another dying brand.

Yep, and still make a profit out of it.

Mariners had the best record ever (116 wins), just like Nintendo.

And just like Nintendo, they're old and washed up.

are you trying to beat snappy in trolling?

No your thinking of Joe Gibbs.

The Mariners are one of the few MLB teams that actually makes a profit year in and year out. Their new stadium, mostly bankrolled by Mr. Yamauchi, is also gorgeous. The Mariners are a core part of the Seattle area.

What the fuck is it with you anti-ninty bitches that you have to comment on everything? This could have been about anything but you fuckin retards need to chime in and tell what you think. All you need is to see the word Nintendo and then "well it'll all be over soon" "sell your gamecube" "nintendo sux". Why can't you just shut the fuck up and let us talk about a topic?

Joe Gibbs has still got it. He can't be blamed because Brunell is old and washed up, and no sane Redskins fan commended that offseason move.

Back to Nintendo...

The Mariners are just like Nintendo now. All homegrown support that's good at best and will never challenge the big two in the AL/videogame industry.

Stop trolling like an idiot. You're not. Snapty on the other side is. And you're stealing his job.

PS. And btw you're wrong.

Perhaps this is why Mario Baseball is on the way...

Best post by a junior ever.

Nothing wraps up the night better than a classic "someone makes a topic about Nintendo, people troll it and make jokes to rile up N-fans, N-fans take the bait and overreact, then both parties go back and forth with this" thread

I agree!

... I think I'm going to get quite a few Nintendo fanboys a sense of humour for Christmas.

 

[AniHawk]

I'm glad the Mariners suck now, because it takes the pressure off the Angels to not be the worst team in the AL West.

Could this mean more GameCube kiosks around Safeco Field?

Well when you get down to it, it's really a non-issue. The shares are just moving from Yamauchi to Nintendo. They've effectively had primary ownership for over 10 years.

Trolling isn't really trolling when you're putting in just as much effort as the people responding to you.
