If the folks at Sega ever find themselves in a situation where they have to sell off their IPs, which of these companies do you think they would be better off with?
>>330545765
Anything but microsoft
We all know what happened to banjo-kazooie, conker and rare in general
>>330545765
>Sonic
Insomniac or Naughty dogs could do good with him.
Nintendo. Sonic has been having most games this gen on them.
Nintendo or Sony would be good. Microsoft would just fuck everything up like conker and banj, they got lucky with KI being good.
Nintendo, if only because they're the closest thing you think of when you think Sonic.
>>330545893
>Naughty Dog
Now I'm imagining Shadow the Hedgehog done by the team who worked on the Jak and Daxter games.
>>330545765
Microsoft would do nothing with Sonic. Except perhaps abuse his image as a character in one of the pet projects no one wants.
Nintendo will continue to make Sonic games. And if Miyamoto takes an interest in it, then he might be the guy to take Sonic back to it's simplistic roots.
>NO! TOO MANY UNIQUE CHARACTER. MAKE SONIC AND TAIRS ONLY! ONLY ANIMAR, BRU FRICKY! EGGMAN NO LONGER TARK!
Sony will do something absolute asinine, like what this anon suggested. >>330545893
Holy fuck, they would butcher Sonic.
>>330545765
Definetly Nintendo. He's practically a Nintendo IP at this point anyway.
>>330547645
>miyamoto touching sonic
Didn't he say at one point that the entire reason we don't have a Mario and Sonic platforming game is because he wouldn't be able to work with Yuji Naka on it?
>>330548151
I don't know. But is Yuji Naka relevant anymore?
In this hypothetical scenario, would Yuji Naka have a say once Nintendo owns the IP?
>give Sonic to Nintendo
loving this meme
also, we already had enough homogenized Sonic games from Iizuka and post-Rush DIMPS, senpai.

>>Nintendo will continue to make Sonic games. And if *Tanabe takes an interest in it, then he might be the guy to take Sonic back to it's simplistic roots.
fixed
>>330548286
No, he isn't even part of Sonic Team right now
>>330548286
He hasn't had a say since he left sonic team 10 years ago. Looking it up, the reason we don't have a mario and sonic game is more due to how different the worlds are, not just in characters and locations but general tone. They cant figure out a neutral location for them to go because neither of them fit into each others own worlds
>>330548151
Lol, no. All he said was that both characters have 2 different design philosophies that would clash in a game like that.
>>330545765
Microsoft, so they can hand Sonic to Rare and have them give him the Conker treatment
>>330548419
The best way to handle it would be to have Sonic and Mario get sucked into Alex Kidd's world, or something along those lines.
>>330548635
ew
alex kidd is terrible
>toshihiro gets to work with f zero again
NINTENDO ALL THE WAY
>>330548519
>Rare
Look at conker now.
>>330545765
>Nintendo
Stays exclusive to Nintendo's systems. Wouldn't exactly work well
>Sony
Don't see much happening much like the two PSP games
>Microsoft
Nothing happeningor maybe a PC version.
>>330548419
Dude, I don't give a fuck about Mario and Sonic being in the same game.
Perhaps, if you forget that silly notion, then you can imagine how Miyamoto's talents are suited for the Sonic series.
But if you're going to hold on to this weird notion that Mario and Sonic can't be in the same game, then yes, it probably would be awkward for Miyamoto to make it work.
>nintendo buys sega
>every new character in 5mash is a sega character
>rosterfags btfo
>>330545765
Sony would fund some third party devs to make at least 2 games. One being shit and the other being decent. Then they would bench Sonic
Microsoft would bench him for a decade and then have a butchered design of Sonic show up in a game or tech demo for one of their gimmick accessories
Nintendo would milk the IP for all of its worth and then bench it
>>330547645
>Microsoft would do nothing with Sonic. Except perhaps abuse his image as a character in one of the pet projects no one wants.
they deserve that death
>>330547547
"Shadow II" This would be fucking Ace.
>>330549109
CONKERS LEGS ARE NOT BLUE
>>330548891
Roster faggots would still complain. They always find a way.
>>330545765
Nintendo is the objectively correct answer here. Microsoft is absolute cancer and Sony does not give a fuck about IPs, no matter how popular they are. He'd just end up buried, never seen again. At least Nintendo would keep him in their line-up of ips they always use,and at the very least would try their damndest to fix him. It would be far more effort than the other two, without a doubt.
>>330548928
When has Nintendo ever really abandoned an IP? Earthbound is complete, and they are still finding ways to make F-Zero, but besides that they reuse everything. Kid Icarus got a 3ds game, for fucks sake.
Nintendo, is this even a joke? Nintendo is a bit iffy with their own stuff, but they always do AMAZING shit with other people's IPs.
Plus, can you imagine a JSR/Splatoon crossover?
Though to be fair, Sony could probably do well too with a few of Sega's IPs.
Nobody will ever make a good Sonic game again. In order to do it right it would require the right amount of talent and budget and nobody thinks of the IP as being important enough to give it those things. It's bargain bin fodder for little kids now.

Advance Wars is gone. Fire Emblem was going to get canned if Awakening didn't succeed. Also no Custom Robo or Eternal Darkness
