Being a Machead and a Nintendo fanboy, it's difficult to say where I stand. On one hand, it would be a cold day in hell before Mario would let his mansion be sold, let alone to an American company. On the other hand, think what this could mean for Apple: suddenly this huge market of gamers that could be potential Mac buyers, if they integrate some gaming features into the relatively gaming-unfriendly (until recently) Mac OS. And it would only mean Nintendo devices would look even better, if that's possible.
I think this is pure speculation, merely because the DS Lite and soon the Wii play to the same chic, creative, try anything once types that the Macintosh has become a home for, not to mention the iPod. Trend-eee.
But hey, if it works, and Apple doesn't screw it up, could be good for both of them.
Nintendo-Apple merger? Don't hold your breath. [update 1]
