It looks like Microsoft may be buying up Nintendo...'s land, their empty unused land. Sorry, I had to do that.

Nintendo of American is taking bids for a 27-acre block of land in Redmond that they had initially purchased to expand their North American headquarters, the Seattle PI reports. Among the bidders is neighbor Microsoft.

"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.

News of the impending sale comes on the heels of confirmation that Nintendo is moving some of their people to offices in New York and Silicon Valley. About 20 to 30 people from Nintendo.com will be moving to New York, while an additional 60 to 80 people from sales and marketing will be moving to Silicon Valley.

Kaplan says the decisions to sell the land and move the people are not related. Yeah, I don't believe that for a second.
