Nintendo Wants To Buy Sega?

[TheSonicGamer201X]

Looks like it's going to change to:
it's-a-me-sonic!

Could hedgehog and plumber become step-brothers?

Rumorology had always tried to convince us about the most wacky things. This might seem like one of those.

According with EGM writer HipHopGamer, Nintendo is planning to buy SEGA. Yeah, that is, bluntly and without painkillers. Nintendo wants our blue boy.

At a video he reveals that in the past E3, Nintendo confirmed to him off camera that they would like to buy off Sega, at it would be a great addition to the Nintendo brand, and that they are always up to discuss that.

Nintendo Reps: It would be a great exclusive addition to the Nintendo brand and something that we're always up to discussing.

Since that doesn't assure anything, we cant be sure this is happening or not, but this is not the first time there have been rumors on Sega being bought by Nintendo. back in 2003, when Sega left the first party market. From there came several exclusive SEGA titles for Nintendo machines, like the Sonic Advance, Sonic adventure 2 Battle or Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg.

Now, Sega is closer to Nintendo as ever, with titles like Bayonetta 2, or the Mario & Sonic at the Olympics series. Could this be the start of a new future? With Sega current issues, this might be the saviour of the company. We will have to wait to know more, since this is a RUMOR , so take it with a grain of salt.

You can see HipHopGamer, of EGM fame, in this video talking about it, from 11:00 on

I don't see why this would be a bad thing. Sega's never going to go back into hardware. Nintendo would love to be able to control some of those properties and I'm sure Sega would love to have the money that Nintendo could back them with.

Oh no.
Nintendo purchasing SEGA and SEGA agreeing on that would be wrong as a business choice on oh so many levels.

Hmm, explain.

[shadowDOESrock]

Hmm, explain.

Think about it, what are SEGA's main branches?

[Hakudamashi]

Think about it, what are SEGA's main branches?

I dunno.

[shadowDOESrock]

I dunno.

PC Gaming - Total War, Warhammer & Warhammer 40k, Company of Heroes
External IP's - Warhammer, Aliens, Olympia

Then SEGA has a fuckton of Sony-Exclusive Franchises like Valkirya Chronicles and Yakuza.
Nintendo certainly wouldnt keep the PC Gaming branch and the External IP's would probably be returned.

They would have to downsize SEGA after the purchase to the development teams.
Thus, SEGA would become a Sonic-Shitting Machine.

And NiGHTS and Jet Set Radio and Space Channel 5 and Super Monkey Ball and Samba De Amigo and Shinobi and Skies of Arcadia and Power Stone
And why can't all those things go multiplatform or something?

Those are quite relevant nowdays.
Well, Super Monkey Ball actually is.

And what do you mean? If SEGA was bought by Nintendo, why would the games be multiplatform?

[Hakudamashi]

Wii-U and 3DS I mean.
Though thinking about it now, with this vendetta people have against Nintendo these days, I can see why noone would be happy about this.

Nintendo could always put those PC strategy titles on the Wii U.

But yeah, Nintendo buying Sega is extremely unlikely. Sega isn't a small company, and Nintendo really can't afford to spend a bunch of money on such an acquisition.

But hey, if Sega goes under and starts selling all of their IPs, Nintendo would probably grab a few of them.

i hope that SEGA never goes out of business
