Why doesn't Nintendo just buy SEGA already?
>>
>>321958390
and make a new SoR with nintendo characters?
>>
Nah, senpai. Sega should buy Nintendo. Sega is cooler.
>>
>>321958390
Nintendo can't afford Sammy
>>
>>321958390
Why would they?
Sonic as an IP sells for shit.
>>
why doesn't microsoft just buy them all?
>>
Because Sega is Segone
>>
>>321958650
UM, EXCUSE ME?!
Everyone knows Nintendo has kabillions of dollars and can lose a lot of money from stupid business decisions and still be rich as fuck. They can buy whoever they want. They could even buy Microsoft. OR EVEN MCDONALD'S.

>nintendo buy microsoft

hahahahahaha

I'm not allowed to say.

>>321958650
Nintendo is actually worth a hell of a lot more than Sammy, but why would Nintendo buy them?
>>
id rather have Valve buy Sega and Nintendo
>>
why would they?

what profitable IPs do Sega currently have that would make this a good deal to Nintendo?
>>
>>321959187
Congratulations on getting the joke.

They could take the money it costs to buy Sega and burn it, it would be a better investment.

Why doesn't /v/ just pool all its resources and buy Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, Valve, Apple (to close it down), Samsung, Linux, Blizzard, Konami, Capcom, Bandai Namco, From Software, CDProjekt Red, Bioware, Atlus, SNK Playmore, Obsidian, Electronic Arts, Activision, Ubisoft, and Walmart?

Better question is how long will mario, zelda, pokemon, smash and gimmicks keep the alive?
>>
>>321959425
Because they can't get third party support and want blast processing?

>>321959510
Obviously Football Manager WiiU exclusive

Not him but it was pretty obvious he wasn't serious.

Because we're all broke neets

Nah, I don't want to have to buy Nintendo's next shitty console.

My mom wouldn't approve of using her money to invest in video games and wal mart.

I'm down for buying Sonic, and transforming it into the ultimate autism bait

if Sega wanted infinite money, they could release a free online roleplaying Sonic game where you create your own OC donut steel

make it heavily community based and very permissive, with a shitton of microtransactions for everything

make every single Sonic character date-able, or friend-able, or fight-able, or fuck-able, whatever

add every possible and imaginable fetishes


pretty much Sonic Second Life

Might as well wait for the price to keep dropping. Sega probably won't stop circling the drain any time soon,so just let the value keep going down. Just wait till the last second to snatch them up.
>>
>>321959461
So they wouldn't make games anymore?
>>
>>321960889
How is Sammy itself doing?
>>
>>321959902
Lets pool our resources to buy Konami and invest in Pachinko machines
>>
You're implying that Nintendo would use their IP's. Atlus isn't doing anything with them, why would Nintendo especially, use them?

>Why doesn't Nintendo just buy SEGA already?

Because SEGA is plagued with cheap poorly made games and Nintendo rather not have that represent them as a first party developer. Not saying that Nintendo doesn't have its fair share of bad games, but the entire idea is just not a good idea for Nintendo as a whole.

I'm kind of annoyed that Nintendo has been getting all buddy buddy with Sega for the last 10 years. I mean what's the appeal of it? Nostalgia? Hey guys remember the 16bit consoles wars? Oh yes that validates it. For fuck sakes Nintendo stop pairing Mario with the one trick hedgehog.

Why doesn't Disney just buy Nintendo?

boy, i can't wait for nintendo to do sega justice with its great ideas and modern philosophy.
>>
>>321958390
They already have the Olympic game line, which is doing well for itself.

If they buy the entire company, then who will oversee all of it? how will the enact quality control?
>>
>>321965228

>how will the enact quality control?

Sega doesn't even have quality control in the first place. It would be an entire disaster and Nintendo has to focus their priorities on their new console succeeding before they buy a shitting third party dev.
>>
>>321965376
Yea, man. You get it. Trying to handle Sega would be a strain on Nintendo.
>>
Because it's not WORTH it to buy them out. Sonic isn't worth the purchase, I'm afraid. Sure they put out a game or two. But it's more like pity to publish the game. Mario feels bad for his friend, and lets Sonic take from the community fund. It's good to be a furry.
>>
>>321958390
> wanting NoA to ruin SEGA titles
Did you just choose to be cucked?
>>
>>321964919
Really of all the things Nintendo does that you could bitch about FF seems like one of the lesser things.
>>
>>321959510
Fucking, Sonic? Nintendo could make a better Sonic platformer than Sega ever could. Ffs sonic and mario have a lot of games together. Seriously why not? Sega + Nintendo is like Ash with Misty, who the fuck doesnt want that shit
>>
>>321966472
They could probably make a better Sonic game but ultimately buying up a whole company just to get to that one franchise doesn't seem like a very good deal given all the things Nintendo already has and how much Sega's name has been tarnished.
