Power-rumouring overnight in Japan states Nintendo is poised to make an outright acquisition of Capcom.
This staggering news will see Nintendo entirely consume Capcom, taking full ownership of all development and publishing operations around the world. From what we can gather, the announcement will be made later this month, perhaps December 21 or 22.
In some respects, the validity of the gossip is glaringly obvious. Capcom seems to have lost all motivation for developing games for systems other than GameCube. Its most lucrative franchise, Resident Evil, is, aside from a PlayStation 2 online tech demo, completely exclusive to Nintendo.
Furthermore, the only games to have been announced by Capcom of late have been for GameCube. You have to question the motives of a firm that will announce four brand new IPs, only to relegate them to the least profitable console on the market. And the question remains, where are Capcoms PlayStation 2 and Xbox titles?
Some even commented that Capcoms last PlayStation 2 AAA title, Auto Modelista, seemed to have been abandoned before it was properly completed.
Thus far, Product Number 03, Killer 7, Viewtiful Joe and Dead Phoenix are all confirmed as GameCube exclusive, as well as the massive Resident Evil series
As far as massive rumours go, we think that this is as on the money as it gets. Its at least more credible than the Nintendo to sue Sony having discovered it owned the term PlayStation, smashing SCE to pieces and releasing the Nintendo PlayStation chatter thats doing the rounds at the moment.
Whatever the Megaton announcement is, youll read about it here, as it breaks.

According to various sources this morning, the much-rumoured Nintendo megaton announcement involves a buyout of Capcom.
The British gossip camp is split on the validity of the news, with senior insiders instantly snubbing the story as unfeasible. The rumour appears to have sprung out of the recent confirmation of a set of five GameCube exclusive titles from the company, including Resident Evil 4 and Killer 7, coupled with disappointing financials.
Far more solid is talk of a large Nintendo announcement early next week, either on Monday or Tuesday.
Others are putting the date for the announcement at just before Christmas, possibly December 23.
There's more. Sega is also rumoured to be part of the announcement. Yep, that's right: there are elements of the UK industry hearing that Nintendo is to buy Sega and Capcom. Together. Just like apple pie and custard. (CVG)
