...they should buy Sega. Maybe they could get some quality people working on the Sonic franchise again!

The only real drag on Sega right now is the quality of Sonic Team's efforts. As of late, (rather, the past decade) they've been slipping, with Secret Rings only providing a glimmer of hope for the correct direction to spin Sonic into. However, AM2 and the rest of Sega, including Creative Assembaly, are still damn fine teams that do their jobs well. People need to stop looking at Sonic for Sega and realize he's not the only thing they offer.

I guess it would be a good idea, since you're supposed to buy things when they're in a lull (ie sega).  It would mean sega would shrink bc it would be nintendo exclusive.  They wouldn't be able to release 2K games across all platforms and tailor make games for platforms.  I always thought that nintendo should merge with a computer company to aid in the development in consoles.  In the last 3 gens, nintendo has outsourced that responsibility to companies like IBM.

They don't really need to buy Sega since Sega is producing titles for Nintendo already.

The only thing that is worth on Sega is Sonic Team. Nintendo could buy them and put some supervision on the team.

Only if they intend on making a 2d sonic for the DS. Other than that, Sega is already showing great support.

I'd rather have them buying Rare back. SEGA have made very boring games for a long time.

imho what they sould be doing now is reinvesting alot of money back into the company. they should be expanding there first and second party teams by quite a margin. they should be looking to support (and if nneeds be publish) games from smaller devs that could have the next big thing (and exclusive to wii obhiously). they should also start investing in tools to be used by the public so an indie scene develops for the console.

they should also be investing alot into DS2 and Wii2 developement (which is probably well under way). now that the wimote/ nunchuck and touch screen are pretty well proven as good control methods, they should be looking to develop these further. also they should be putting more into maximising the horse power of their next console while at the same time keeping the costs low (kinda like the GC in its gen).

See, now this guy has the right idea. Buying Sega would be foolish...they already produce games for Nintendo consoles. However, that is nothing compared to how foolish it would be to buy Rare back. Are you guys kidding?! Rare hasn't produced a single good game since they left Nintendo. Perfect Dark Zero? Meh. Conker's Bad Fur Day? Just a remake. Microsoft would not let Rare go for anything less than a fortune, and Nintendo would be idiotic to pay them.

What Nintendo needs to do is expand it's manufacturing fields...the Wii is pretty much sold out world wide (with a few exceptions here and there.) and even the DS Lite, which has been out for a while now can still be hard to find. People want these products, but if consumers cannot find them, they may turn to other companies.

Im Split on this issue.

I mean, i love sonic games, so this would mean more sonic!

But.............I still would not like the idea of it.................

 

BTW, Sonic Team was started as a In-House team at sonic, but in 2000 they split off and became Indepenadant (this is when such "Great" games, like heros and shadow were being Devloped), but in 2005 Sega Bought them back in as the IN-House team, an Secret Rings was their first good game game back. maybe the games will get better back under Sega's Hand.

QFT.  If I'm not mistaken, MS payed Rare what was it....$300 million?  I'd hate to think how much Nintendo would have to pull out it's butt just to have Rare come back.

I'd like to have Rare back, just to get Banjo Kazooie 3 for the Wii, and maybe a future Donkey Kong adventure game. Killer Instinct would also be very nice. I loved Rare.

I think the title of this topic should be changed from:

  • "now that Nintendo has all this money..."
  • to: "now that Nintendo has all our money..."
Just for the sake of accuracy. ;)
