"Hopefully, the day Mario meets Mickey Mouse is not that far away," Disney Interactive vice president of production John Vignocchi said in an interview.

John Blackburn, Disney Interactive's Avalanche Software vice president and general manager, joked that the dream team will happen whenever Disney CEO Bob Iger "buys Nintendo."

Hopefully a Kingdom Hearts like scenario will happen with a new series of Nintendo and Disney characters.

I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

Don't see how the "until Disney buys Nintendo" bit was meant to be taken seriously.

The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

I'm currently playing Faith The Unholy Trinity, Dead Space( remake), Crow Country and Steel Rising.

It's not what they're saying that's the intriguing part, it's that they are saying it. I'm sure many of us could have assumed Disney execs have talked about Nintendo as a future aquisition, and this confirms that those conversations or attitudes are indeed there, joking or serious

Honestly I think they would do wonders with Nintendo. Nothing would change? Look at the Marvel movies. They are still going about their business just are more secure with Disney at their backs.

The only decent marvel movie I've seen from Disney is guardians of the galaxy, they might make money, but they're not great movies.

I think at some point when you're rich, you just start joking about buying everything. Amusement parks, cafes, entire city blocks....the fun part is when you're actually not joking. That always throws them off.

That question mark at the end of the thread title makes it look like you're suggesting that it wasn't a joke. Tabloid rags do this all the time. It removes them from responsibility when the story turns out to be malarkey. You can say anything you want as long as you stick a question mark at the end.
