Nintendo and SEGA Sitting in a Tree?

Over the past year, SEGA/Nintendo have made three different announcements with varying degrees of interest and impact on gamers, but is there a bigger picture we're missing? Nerds on the Rocks takes a look at these announcements to see if there's a connection to be made.

Sonic is in good hands there's nothing to worry about. ;)

Why are people making this more than it is...

You realize plenty of sonic games have been on Nintendo platforms before right ?

Sonic Advance 1,2,3....sonic colors, sonic rush, sonic DS collection ( Sonic 1,2,3&S&K), Sonic racing.....

How can we work it so that Mario has a weird blue hedgehog for a cosin. Then they can make a super mario family (instead of bros) game.

GameTavern3989d ago

I'm sure SEGA wouldn't like Sonic to be just "Related" he would need his name in the title anyhow.

weekev153989d ago

I think you've taken that too far. No way Sonic would marry Mario plus Mario is taken already by Princess Peach even though she's a total pain in the arse and clearly is having quickies with Bowser behind his back. No way she can get "captured" that many times without reporting him to the police. They are clearly at it.

Nintendo and sega are getting along good lately. Wonder if a merger of sorts could happen in the future and result in a new home console with Nintendo's and sega's biggest franchises exclusive to it. Then costs would be cut and profits would be made having such big names together on one console.

GameTavern3989d ago

It would be interesting.
It also brings Nintendo a lot of what they need. An infusion of talent. A variety of new IPs to work with. Some "mature" titles.
And another well known brand.

Sonic on wii u= alot of sells. Sega knows it, nintendo knows it.

Sonic Game Writers Had ‘Very Little Say’ On Story Scripts

The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.

-Foxtrot94d ago

They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.

My beef is why even hire writers if you're just going to control the whole process. I'd be very upset as a writer if someone did that. A job is a job though.

DarXyde92d ago

Performative for optics, I would think.

It's like the US Congress holding a vote to "denounce the evils of socialism." It literally did absolutely nothing about anything and was a complete waste of everyone's time (and tax dollars—which is its own irony, by the way)

Dumbest thing in the world, but if you hire writers, it looks like you made a serious effort to make something great.

Do you remember when the original Suicide Squad movie was coming out? How much did we hear about Killer Croc's actor watching cannibal videos to get into character? Or even the "incredible lengths" Jared Leto went through to personify Joker on and off set?

It looks better when people think you're taking it seriously.

Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr

Profchaos92d ago

Nothing new sonic forces was meant to be far darker then sega got cold feet and they did the same old power of friendship ending

Why Bayonetta 3 Is a Step Down From Its Predecessor

Many fans have been expressing their disappointment with Bayonetta 3. Here's why the recently released game is a clear step down from Bayonetta 2.

MadLad496d ago (Edited 496d ago )

Yet the Switch is much more powerful than the Wii U - the platform the second game released on. So you're just being negative to be negative with that comment.

anast496d ago

The voice acting wasn't as good...

jBlakeeper495d ago

Bayonetta herself doesn’t even look as good design wise.

-Foxtrot495d ago

I thought they focused on big kaiju like fights which felt gimmicky and thy brought this new character in to try and get away from the leading star

*Spoilers*

I mean they pretty much killed 3 big characters. They killed Jeanne, Luka and Bayonetta herself and it's not the fact they died it's how they died, we've seen Jeanne and Bayonetta survive countless things yet they go out by the lamest ways possible.
