I was readin over at the ny post bs thread and noticed somethin that nolimit19 had posted. He mentioned bout the rumor of apple and nintendo, and up until now I hadnt even heard of this. I went to the link he provided (http://homepage.mac.com/planetpm/macgamecube/first.html) and read the page and I'm sold lol. I'm suprised I havent seen a discussion on this here yet ( I dont know though, I didnt do a search but I check up in the forums daily and never once seen anything of the such) Basically I think this is highly possible and just starting this up to put yous on to the rumor ( if you havent been put on already) like nolimit19 did for me lol and to propperly start a discussion.

I didn't even think it was a rumor anymore...Hmmmm...I honestly don't care who Ninty goes with as long as their next system doesn't look like the ugly things that Apple makes

Mannypon · « **Reply #2 on:** September 27, 2003, 07:34:34 PM »

I dont know, I dont find apple's designs to be that ugly lol. Their encasing and all that look nice though. Also that gaming system apple made shown in that page call pippin or somethin like that, dont remember, didnt look that bad for its time (96 or 98 dont remember the yr either lol)

never. you will not like the future. microsoft & nintendo make a system together in 2005. believe it.

Mannypon · « **Reply #4 on:** September 27, 2003, 08:26:59 PM »

I've heard that rumor alot too and it makes some sence too but as of right now, I'm standin by the apple rumor just by the effort thats been put in to that site to actually prove the point. All Ive seen on the microsofl nintendo rumor have been forum debates.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #5 on:** September 27, 2003, 08:42:57 PM »

Yuji: I just HOPE that was sarcasm. If you need counterproof, look up the old threads about that topic. No point in discussing that here again.

This sounds good, though I probably can't afford a Mac anyway.

Yuji Miyamoto · « **Reply #6 on:** September 27, 2003, 08:59:17 PM »

Im sorry, what i meant to say was that microsoft and nintendo WILL make a console together in 2010, not 2005.

Mannypon · « **Reply #7 on:** September 27, 2003, 09:02:55 PM »

will is a very strong word, and I dont see anything really backin that up at the moment, besides, you never know what will happen from on till 2010. Microsoft by that time might not even be interested in the video game business, who knows.

bleh m$hit is 64y. i would love to see apple n ninty team up together. they can make a great team!

Well didnt IBM make cubes chip sets wich is a 400MHZ Apple processor, so cube is already using Apple chipsets, IMO Macintosh's are great so much fun with them.

Grey Ninja, you have yet to make some derogatory or demeaning comment towards Apple. I'm dissapointed in you.

they want sleek "sexy" gadgets (like Apple's).

I never thought about it but the GBA SP does look Mac's G4 laptop. In my opinion, this is a good deal for both Nintendo and Apple. They are both considered "The Little Guy" in their respective markets and the two of them would make a lot of news. iNES5 will rock. Rock with a built in MODEM! I just remembered that that's why they call it the iMac. The built in MODEM! Crap, if this does happen, it had better not be too expensive....

this should make things clear. nintendo loves IBM. IBM hates mac. Microsoft and IBM have also had working releationships. mac and nintendo? NEVER

nolimit19 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 28, 2003, 07:40:47 PM »

well i when i read the article it made me think. and i dont know who nintendo will team up with for their next console and handheld, but the point is that they NEED to in order to stay competitive. whether it is apple, or panisonic, or samsung or whatever. they need to get a partner to make a system that is on equal grounds with the ps3 and xbox2. i like the possiblity of apple working with nintendo on their next handheld and panisonic working with them on their next console. similar to the Q this generation. if nintendo had launched the Q in the us against the ps2 and xbox, i think we would be looking at very different sales numbers. VERY different.

You are a shitbag who obviously knows nothing at all and should just tape your moth shut.
IBM hate mac do they? how come the two have been working togethor on the Power PC chip since 1995? Thats a lot of trust for companies that hate each other. Apples G5 chips are made, right at IBM's big manufacturing plant. IBM and Microsoft have had working relationships have they? Yeah sure they did, back in the seventies. IBM got really annoyed with Microsoft back in the eighties and developed their own operating system, OS 2 Warp, unfourtunatly it never took off and IBM had to go back to packaging Windows to turn a profit.

yes the whole idea sounds quite convincing and as a Macintosh/Nintendo fanboy I'll go crazy if it's confirmed.

ThePerm · « **Reply #14 on:** September 28, 2003, 09:13:27 PM »

yuji miyamato is new...so he's obviously not gonna be right all the time. Of course IBM is the people who design PowerPC processors(the processors that Macs have) and have a great relationship with apple. MS and IBM had a working relationship in the dos days but that fell thorugh a hole a long time ago. IBM makes Warp OS for Networks and their own supercomputers
and makes processors for apple along with motorolla.

as far as operating systems go...well lately iv used both extensively...and Mac is becoming morel ike windows, and widnows is becoming more like mac with each respective software release. Whatr peopel really want is a really good hybrid. Im very used to both but there are things i like in one OS and don't like in another. I wish there was an interface everyoen could agree upon...a few years from now both OS will be very similar or even mroe radically different...but both more user friendly. Heres an idea....being able to change the layout default rapidly for your pending need. Macs are great for graphics...their layout makes the graphic work load faster(aside from the no default right clicking) and windows is great for programing...imagine if there was like a button you could click and it would change your sets and programs really quickly to suit your needs.....ill design it and sell it

...now i can animate it in flash too

Just finished reading the article... the Nintendo/Apple tie-ins are very weak. There isn't anything that Apple does that Nintendo needs. Apple largely doesn't even fabricate their own hardware components, and Nintendo doesn't need Apple to make something "elegant."

oohhboy · « **Reply #16 on:** September 29, 2003, 08:20:59 AM »

yuji miyamato maybe wrong, but for the love of the like itself, no one should be that bloody wrong. Almost another 550man wrong.

Glassjaw · « **Reply #17 on:** September 29, 2003, 07:44:02 PM »

I read the article and I must say there are many similarities (more than 20) between this whole Nintendo and Apple thing. One thing this guy left out was when Apple released its power mac G4's, Apple came up with a smaller cubed shape version almost looking exactly like the gamecube. (http://www.kemplar.com/apple_cube_ts.htm) It seems that this maybe more then just a simple rumor but something larger that has yet to be announced. Its quite strange adding up all the similarities between the two. You have to admit though, out of all the American companies that Nintendo could join forces with, Apple seems to be a perfect partner against Microsoft and Sony.

BigJim · « **Reply #18 on:** September 29, 2003, 09:45:08 PM »

That's just another weak similarity that doesn't add up to anything tangible. I still don't see anything here. Apple doesn't have anything Nintendo needs.

Mannypon · « **Reply #19 on:** September 29, 2003, 09:57:06 PM »

weak or not, they are too many of them to just be a coincidence. Besides, I think apple has basically the same to offer nintendo as microsoft would in a partnership besides the money microsoft has (which IMO nintendo doesnt even need since they have an ass load of money and I dont know bout apple, but I think its safe to say they are financially stable) Also, apple I think can be trusted moreso than microsoft in a partnership. All I can see right now is that if nintendo is goin to partner with anyone. Apple is lookin to be more likely than anyone else from what I can see unless someone else can show me ( and many others ) otherwise.

Next Ninty Console: iCube
Next Ninty Handheld: iBoy
^_^

Mannypon · « **Reply #21 on:** September 30, 2003, 12:37:04 AM »

dam, why'd this get sent to fast foward? I can see how the topic basically falls under fast foward but its not goin to get nearly as much as attention here lol. the ms and nintendo boards are still in the gamecube discussion section, dam, apple aint gettin no love. Maybe its been put here in an attempt to get less talk time in the forums since we touchin onto somethin we shouldnt be

lol, makes you wonder lol.

BigJim · « **Reply #22 on:** September 30, 2003, 07:23:04 PM »

That conspiracy theory is as bad as the Nintendo/Apple one.

Mannypon · « **Reply #23 on:** September 30, 2003, 09:40:16 PM »

lol, I know but dam lol, hate it when this happens lol, its practically crippling the potential of this topic now that its been put in here lol. Wost thing bout it is that the microsoft and nintendo topics are still over in the gamecube discussion section lol, it burns lol.

Get ready to poop your pants, because over at Spong.com, they're reporting that MS and IBM are hard at work on the chipset for Xbox 2. Of course, Spong is a load of garbage, but its worth mentioning.
