Nintendo CEO: "Okay guys, I need you to stop coding those new GameCube games. We need to focus on porting out N64 line to the DreamCast. Next year's project: porting our SNES line to the Sega Genesis/Megadrive"

And so on... :wink:

Only way I could see them doing that is if they actually was able to make a emulator that ran the roms on a dreamcast. Then they could release smashpacks on it etc. But considering the dreamcast is practically dead, I don't see any of that happening.

Ninetndo and Sega arent really together. Sega have gone cross platform so now they make games for Sony, Nintendo, and M$.

it would be a BIG waste of their money to make DC games since the system is dying. I'd love it to happen but it wont.

I'm not even going to get myself all upset and angry over this ignorant question.



All i am going to say is...

If this guy is over 10 years old, he has down syndrome.

Stupid person

Post by arcticfeather »

No offense or anything, but that is just the stupidest question ever

sega are a third party games developer cuz their consoles fell through, ninty though are still exactly the same as they were b4 - 1st party game developer and console makers, so they would never make games for another console they only thing that has cahnged with the big N is that they get some sega games (yay sonic advance!)

I am gonna have to agree with arcitcfeather on this one.
Everything has a fifty percent chance of happening. Either it does or it doesn't. Don't argue with it, just accept it.

Business is business. If someone had the $$$ and wanted to license Nintendo's characters for a console that wouldn't compete with its console (like a old Smash Pack of N64, etc.), I am sure that Nintendo would consider it. Money talks.

My idea: Nintendo vs. Sega: Clash of the Corporate Kings

Kind of like Super Smash Bros. Melee but throw in a bunch of Sega characters.

Heh, if they did that, and had a Nintendo 'style' of SSB and a Sega 'style' like VF Kids / Sonic Fighters... it would be like my craziest dreams of 5 years ago had come true :eek:

Well squaresoft was trying to make GBA games, and nintendo declined.... that should tell you right there nintendo doesn't make deals and we all know how well squaresoft games would sell on GBA... so i think nintendo is too stuburn to ever change that.
