[QUOTE=Takuat;43742990]Nintendo merges with Capcom and Sega, Y/N?[/QUOTE] nah I'd rather not have those games become Nintendo exclusive.
Nintendo shouldn't just acquire a company for their IPs. They need more people working on Wii U software.
[QUOTE=The Duke;43744126]I wouldn't be surprised if they have intentions to acquire Sega (and by extension, Atlus) in the future.[/QUOTE] Oh man I just thought about Nintendo actually caring about Spiral Knights. I would shit my pants if that happened.
[QUOTE=Camundongo;43743972]A Nintendo-Konami merger would be pretty awesome, now I think of it...[/QUOTE] MGS5 for PS4, Xbox One, PC (was confirmed) cancelled, now Wii U only no
[QUOTE=frozensoda;43743663]Whatever happens, [B]I hope they don't ruin the zelda franchise. I would rather see it retired than have some new company fuck it up[/B]. However, this could be the end of nintendo's overly protective way of making online interaction, which to me is a good thing.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--rcGmOysiXg/ThE4KHnlBjI/AAAAAAAABCo/sxO4e1mAh2A/s1600/zelda_lole9t7.jpg[/IMG] [video=youtube;SMYgcS53Ezk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMYgcS53Ezk[/video]
[QUOTE=Ogris;43744208]Platinum Games is the most likely. Bayonetta, Wonderful 101.[/QUOTE] WiiU was made for Okami.
[QUOTE=The Duke;43744126]I wouldn't be surprised if they have intentions to acquire Sega (and by extension, Atlus) in the future. [/QUOTE] Fuck no. Atlus is off limits. Id rather have them with Sony than Nintendo. Persona wouldn't be the same without a dualshock or Vita

[QUOTE=The Baconator;43744577]Is Persona the only SMT series with Waifus? I've only played SMTIV. is your avatar from P1?[/QUOTE] How you dare suggest his avatar is from anything but the must elite work of Nipponese art and culture?
I hope you guys realize they mean buying someone [i]else,[/i] not being bought. And I put my vote in for SEGA, their recent acquisition of Atlus be damned. It's been decades since Gen4; let's end this charade once and for all!

I don't think I'd care if Sony had a Nintendo division and I could play basically any game on the PS4/3DS. Or maybe the next DS could be a bit less toy-like! I think Nintendo could benefit a lot from offering new shit. Some new IPs that maybe would appeal to an older audience. New hardware that acknowledges that kids won't instantly break it if it isn't designed around them. Making a console that isn't in the 2.5 gen. ( They'd have to wait another what, 10 years for that? ) I don't know, if they changed a bit I think it'd benefit them. Not like I know anything regarding how to run a business, or that anyone of us would know more about how what a business of that scale should do. Saying "shouldn't have named the Wii U so poorly!" probably has some basis, but I'm pretty sure they have a committee make nearly every choice there is to make. As multi-billion corporations usually operate. I just want cool shit from Nintendo. Not another Mario game. Zelda can take a break, make everyone excited when they make a new one instead of expecting these to come out.

[QUOTE=Megaman1811;43744484]Fuck no. Atlus is off limits. Id rather have them with Sony than Nintendo. Persona wouldn't be the same without a dualshock or Vita[/QUOTE] How so?
[QUOTE=Mingebox;43743019]What if Nintendo is the one doing the acquiring.[/QUOTE] Uh, if I understand the implication of [quote]“For this reason, we'll step up share buybacks."[/quote] right, it would be THEM selling themselves to someone else. If you want to acquire a company, you need money, if you want to sell your company, you need to hold enough of it's shares. Buying shares -> intending to sell/merge company (or part of it). [editline]1st February 2014[/editline] So yeah they are talking about Nintendo either merging with somebody, or Nintendo getting bought by somebody, rather than the other way around.
They're the one doing the aquiring. They are interested in merging existing studios and aquiring new ones. [url]http://mynintendonews.com/2014/01/31/nintendo-is-now-considering-mergers-and-new-game-studio-acquisitions/[/url] [url]http://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/Nintendo-chief-low-price-games-in-emerging-markets-M-A-an-option[/url] [url]http://www.pretendo.co/nintendo-considering-new-game-studio-mergers-acquisitions/[/url] [editline]1st February 2014[/editline] Even before they announced this there have been rumors of them aquiring Platinum (which is reinforced by the interest of people, W101 team/Kamiya, who work there), and even Capcom due to their financial state. But now there are rumors, comepletely baseless ones from what I have seen, about them apporaching Apple.
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;43743504]more like murder or execution[/QUOTE] [THUMB]http://31.media.tumblr.com/5bbab794ac375c31239e01f0f18d1888/tumblr_ms7dcfIt7J1s56erbo1_500.gif[/THUMB] Look at that subtle joke. The tasteful punniness of it. Oh, my God. It even refers to American Psycho.
[QUOTE=Megaman1811;43744484]Fuck no. Atlus is off limits. Id rather have them with Sony than Nintendo. Persona wouldn't be the same without a dualshock or Vita[/QUOTE] I don't see how Atlus is in any way Sony based other than the Persona games, they make quite a few games for Nintendo consoles and it's not as if the game is tied to the hardware in any meaningful way in terms of gameplay.

[QUOTE=The Baconator;43744577]Is Persona the only SMT series with Waifus? I've only played SMTIV. is your avatar from P1?[/QUOTE] There is no waifu's in Persona games only S.Links. Which only exist for character development and getting better Personas, some people take this a bit too far. Persona 1, Persona 2: Innocent Sin and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment as well as the mainline SMT games do not have S.links.
[QUOTE=The Baconator;43744577]Is Persona the only SMT series with Waifus? I've only played SMTIV. is your avatar from P1?[/QUOTE] Persona 4 is the only odd one out of the series. The rest are either really dark cyberpunk dungeon crawling or really dark urban fantasy. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_Hackers"]Or something between the two.[/URL]
[QUOTE=Primigenes;43754022]Nintendo should leave Sega the fuck alone for the sake of Atlus. You can have your Shin Megatan games but for love of god, let me have my Persona.[/QUOTE] You should totally try out some SMT games. They're all awesome and they all have good stories. I recommend SMT: Strange Journey, SMT: if... (Persona 0) and the Raidou games. Everyone else will recommend SMT 3: Nocturne
[QUOTE=TheHydra;43742992]a merger might not be so bad but outright acquisition of nintendo has a high chance of being death and despair[/QUOTE] yeah cause a merger worked so well for Square. :zipper: :buckle:
[QUOTE=Primigenes;43754185]I've already played most of the SMT games. I just have a shitload of Sony consoles and shit now. I'd just rather not have to shell out on Nintendo shit to play Persona games[/QUOTE] Hey man Persona would be awesome on the WiiU.
I would be pretty amazed if Nintendo bought any game studio, especially if it were platinum games or Sega. I mean for god's sake some people are still pissed off about bayonetta 2 being exclusive to Wii U, would hate to see the reaction if they find out that all their games would be.
