Rumor: Nintendo planning on buying Sega!

[PolloDiablo]

This could only be good... I would like Nintendo putting some quality control over some Sega IPs (I'm looking at you Sonic). Just imagine... finally a GOOD Sonic game made by Nintendo.

also, this is the final nail in the coffin for the 16 bit wars that we grew up in the nineties

"The Sega Genesis has blast processing
Super Nintendo.... owns it"

...followed by that same game being rehashed for the following 10 years with slightly updated graphics: New Sonic, New Sonic U and New Sonic 2. Also don't forget Paper Sonic.

Hmm. I would still want sonic team to make the games. They've gotten better. I can't imagine a nintendo made sonic game. It probably wouldn't feel like sonic at all.

 

[GamerzHell9137]

That would be..... GREAT!!
Miku in teh WEST!!!

Of all the things that could possible come of this, that is probably the least likely to happen.

... Paper Sonic....

Anyway , I don´t think that Nintendo has planning on buying Sega...

 

[KingVamp]

I would love a TRUE crossover platform starring Mario and Sonic

Paper Sonic.

Man, now that in my head.


As in they meet in a Paper Mario game.

Really,almost all Mario games can have a Sonic and Mario crossover.

Now maybe finally the streets of rage series could be revived with a sequel? Well I can always hope can't I? Lol I don't even mind if it looks like final fight.

 

[Gahars]

Whatever happened to, "Sega does what Ninten-don't," guys?

As for the rumor itself... I'd say take it with a grain of salt, but that's a bit too much credibility. Maybe a molecule is more fitting.

 

[DJPlace]

I don't know about you guys but I want toejam and earl back on a freaking nintendo system and nintendo only, screw xbox for making 3 xbox only... but it would be too good to be true... now just buy rare back so we can have battletoads cross over with conker or even banjo/kazooie? LOL.

Unfortunately Sega doesn't have a single worthwhile IP I can think of off the top of my head that hasn't been complete shit in the past 15 years.

Somebody hasn't played Sonic Colous and Generations, Jet Set Radio, NiGHTS and Sonic Racing Transformed.
You filthy casual. Just leave.

Well if she's gonna be First Party then it is Arras.

I would stop buying SEGA products if the company were to be tainted by Nintendo. Yeah, that's right.

Both SEGA and Nintendo have their very individual style - they're great on their own, but not necessarily together. A Sonic game needs to play like a Sonic game, a Mario game needs to play like a Mario game and I certainly don't want the two to become friends anytime soon. (Olympic Games don't really count )

*cough cough* Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure, Sonic Colours, Sonic Colours DS (yes, it's a different game), Sonic Generations, Sonic Generations 3DS, Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed. Now stop whining.

Besides, to sell out, SEGA would have to be in serious financial trouble, and AFAIK they're not.

waa waaa how dare Nintendo think of buying Sega i wont buy Sega products as protest that will show them ;o;o;

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

I'd rather not have nintendo making decisions on games from the Yakuza or house of the dead. It would be nice if they could inject money to try and pump out a new single player phantasy star or panzer dragoon or even shenmue if only to get the fans of that series to stop begging for a conclusion game to that series.

in all honesty though I'd rather them buy I.P's then buy companies at this point.

You know a new PSO is coming out right.

 

[Terenigma]

If this means getting a new jet set radio on my 3DS then do nintendo better do it and do it fast.

It wouldn't be a sign of protest - I just wouldn't buy them because they would no longer be what I wanted to buy, there's a big difference. If a product or brand changes beyond recognition and there's nothing holding the old customer down, why buy?

 

[Psionic Roshambo]

If this is true I can see some value in it for Nintendo. They could release a ton of old Sega arcade games on the virtual console.

Depends on the price of the company though not sure what Sega is worth but it can't be too expensive (speaking in corporate terms.)
