05/25: Microsoft Bidding on Nintendo Owned Redmond Land

From Todd Bishop:
A Nintendo of America executive confirmed this week that the video-game company has been taking bids for a 27-acre Redmond site that it previously eyed for expansion. The vacant site is just north of the Japanese company's North American headquarters, on the west side of state Route 520 in the city.
Microsoft is one of the bidders. Considering its existing presence in the Overlake neighborhood, its ongoing space crunch and its financial resources, that's not surprising.
"Microsoft, of course, would bid for it, because it's so convenient for them," Perrin Kaplan, Nintendo of America vice president of marketing and corporate affairs, said in an interview at a Seattle event where Nintendo showed its latest video games.
