Poll: should Sega merge with Nintendo?

Face it, they just can't make that great of a game anymore. I can hardly even remember playing a good sonic game, the latest Nights stinked, do you see what i'm getting at? Nintendo has a reputation of making totally awesome 1st party games. Now imagine sonic the hedgehog, Aiai, and Nights in the hands of one of the greatest developers of all time! If Mario and Sonic can just completely forget their pasts, maybe they build a better future for both of them. All in favor?

Most of Sega's teams have really lost the trick to make good games, it's impressive considering they're a japanese developer.

The last great game i played by Sega was F-Zero at the GameCube, and maybe Super Monkey Ball (i liked the dificulty of the main puzzle game), their main franchises are being left to mediocreness and loosing admirers every episode.

So i don't think Sega is a good company for a merge right now (if the games aren't doing that good probably economicly they aren't doing great either). I'd rather have nintendo merge with Capcom (Boo Mario+ Resident Evil =scary lol) :P

Itsthetruth

The Japanese don't have the ability to make mistakes, they only have the ability to make grade A quality products.............:roll:

You would have thought there were merged win they made Mario & Sonic ans Smash Bros Brawl has Sonic.

If they merged that would be awesome.

Sure, why not? The world would finally get a good Sonic game that's not on a handheld, and Wii owners would have the Virtua Fighter series all to themselves...which would kinda suck in some cases (the graphics would take a serious hit, and besides the excellent fighting system, that's what the game is known for). We might even get some new Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star, and Shining Force games, which is enough to excite me! I'd also dig a new Shinobi, Shenmue, and Streets of Rage.

So yeah, if they merged with Nintendo and the companies started making new entries into past Sega franchises, I think a merger would be an awesome idea, as long as Nintendo teams would work on the games from now on...and not fill them with family friendly themes and mini-games.

It's true that having old sega franchise to the Wii would be fabulous, but what good game has sega published recently ? Sure, they still have Virtua fighter but a fighter is all about the "flash". Question is why would they merge with a company that seem to have lost its touch. Personally I think sega pretty much died after the failure of the dreamcast.

Two answers:

Yes: Nintendo could have all the Sonic characters

No: Sega lacks success alone and Nintendo doesn't need it's source.

Just keep it a 3rd party and we are good.

Nintendo should just buy the rights to Sonic. Sega devs = no talent. Maybe Nintendo could design a good Sonic platform.umcommon

Although I don't see whats so bad about recent Sonic games I agree with you

I loved SATSR,SA2:B,SDX,and SR

I dont know what happened but the SOnic Team has lost their magic ever. They refuse to give Sonic the freedom he needs to be in a real speedy 3d platformer.

Honestly all the good sales for Sega have come from Nintendo this gen. If you look at their other games they just are not selling well.Cyber-

Last gen as well. I mean the GameCube was the home of Sonic games since they sold better there.

As for a merge, I don't think it's possible. However, I could see Nintendo buying them.

Maybe it's because Yuji Naka planned a long time ago to quit Sega and make his own studio (PROBE).

I agree I could see nintendo buying rights to sonic or mabye nights, rather than merge completely.

Hasn't Sega already been bought out by a company called 'Sammy'? PS3Compass

aye they have. however last i heard, sammy is hemmoraging money. so a sega sale wouldnt be complty impossible.

anywho no for 2 reasons.

1) a merger is a bad idea as it would mean that high end sega execs would gain power at ninty. a complete buyout would be better.

2) sega owns the creative assembly, the best strategy developer in the world. it would be a terrible tragedy to see the total war series go to pot. the series is one of those that actually uses the advancement of technology to better the gameplay. i dont mean to bash the wii here (i love it to bits) but, frankly, the console just wouldnt be able to do the series any justice at all. it just doesent have the grunt to pull it off (no console does). high powered PCs are essential for it. the chances of nintendo pubishing anything on the PC are slim to nill.

they would probabaly retain that PC status if nintendo bought Sega.

These two companies have been more at eachothers throats than any I've ever seen, remember the old campaigns they used to run, "can't do it on an nintendo" and "you won't see this on a sega"
appart from that, nintendo doesn't like dead wood, which is exactly what sega is right now, they would be paying for IP's that were once great, but are very very dated.
they let rare go for the same reason, I can't see them wanting to take segamonty_4256

If Nintendo bought Sega it would be a huge asset and would probabaly push SOnic back into glory because he would not be nerf by an imcompetent team. The best console Sonic game in the past 5 years is a 7.0 game. Sonic used to be a AAA status series.

Why would sega MERGE with nintendo? if anything was to happen, nintendo would probably rather BUY SEGA than merge.Haziqonfire

yeyee

If Sega merged with Nintendo and more garbage from Sega was released, it would ruin Nintendo's reputation of an excellent video game developer. And what would Sega do about making games on other platforms?bowserjr123

no because Nintnedo would refine all these scattered and ruined series.

Yes. Maybe Sonic would actually be good then...toadster101

I voted no. I don't want Sega's suckiness infecting Nintendo.

I will definaly like to see it, the sonic games will be alot better, also nintendo will get more exclusives.

Who would of know that we will be haveing this duscussion 15 years ago.
