Quote from the article:

However, Spencer outlined a number of blocks on the merger, including the fact Nintendo seemed uninterested in selling up. Nintendo is “sitting on a big pile of cash”, Spencer said, and was apparently happy with its current position. As a result, Spencer said he couldn’t “see an angle” on a buyout in the short term, adding: “I don’t think a hostile action would be a good move… so we are playing the long game."

So its never happening and it's at best delusional. Got it.

"Video games? Never played one. I play the only real game: "Gittin' That Cash." They got it, I want it."
