if nintendo was to buy either of them i'd just say sega for the incredible amount of IP's they have

capcom isn't manageable anymore and i don't even see how capcom is worth money
Sega has Sonic, uhhh, Bayonetta, uhhhh....

Yeah I'm struggling with viable Sega IPs at the moment. All Sega seems to be these days is Sonic.

Well, it's not like they don't have viable IPs (Jet Set Radio, Alex Kidd, Shinobi, etc.). It's just they don't care to use them. Only acknowledging them for All Stars Racing.

And you think Nintendo will bring them back? I'd like to think they would however you have to remind yourself.

It's taken them a couple generations of systems to make a new Star Fox.

They're also sitting on Mother/Earthbound, F-Zero, etc.

It'd be 50/50 in that situation.

At least they'd have a better chance under Nintendo than Sega.
Sure, Nintendo is not the greatest in terms of IPs. But at least they try to use other franchises than Mario.

If Nintendo owned Sega then Smash Bros would have multiple Sonic reps... eww....
Well, I know a certain jumper of cliffs would be happy.

Okay so we got.

Sonic
Super Monkey Ball
Bayonetta
NiGHTS
Shin Megami Tensei + Persona
Anything else that Atlus does
Jet Set Radio
And of course the old stuff that barely exists beyond All Stars Racing. Golden Axe, Toejam and Earl, Chu Chu Rockets... not exactly things I'd shell out big bucks for. Not before popular long standing ones like Street Fighter or Monster Hunter or Resident Evil.

Wouldn't be the worst thing if those reps were Tails, Eggman, Knuckles, you know the classic guys.

Anyone beyond them save maybe Amy would be just....a no.

It would be the worst thing though. Sonic games are terrible. I've never been a fan and was not thrilled that Sonic came back. So having 4-5 Sonic reps would be horrible for me.

You have no taste nor childhood.

I feel sorry for you buddy.

Modern Sonic games I'll give you, but the classics and even the first Adventure (minus Big) are some pretty solid games.

I'll pray for you my friend though.

Honestly, the older games aren't too terrible. There's a few that were stupid (Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Schoolhouse, and Sonic Blast are good examples). But for the most part they're okay.
The modern games however have been up and down.

Regarding Sonic the Hedgehog, I'm a big fan, and I still follow along with the new games, but... I think I can safely say I was decidedly less impressed with them once we got to Sonic turning into a werewolf with rubber arms. 2006 wouldn't have been so bad had it been finished and not a buggy pile of junk.

The old school 90s stuff, I enjoyed well enough as a kid, Adventure through Shadow the Hedgehog (GBA games included) renewed my interest, 2006 let me down by being unfinished, and then we got to Werehog and I was like "ehhhhh...." and while I do enjoy the newer games like Colors and Generations enough, they don't hold my interest the way Sonic games used to.

Not quite. See, Rare was second party, mostly owned by Nintendo. But what happened in layman's terms was that Rare thought they would have more freedom by being owned by another company so they put themselves up for sale... they were hoping for the likes of Activision or Blizzard to buy them out, but to the surprise of many, Microsoft joined the video game industry with Xbox and swooped in and bid so high for Rare as to steal it from Nintendo since the opportunity to do so was golden. Rare regretted that ever since.
Microsoft also bought Rare because they thought they'd have Donkey Kong.

Oh I liked Sonic 3 & Knuckles every other game sucked.

I'm tellin' you, the only good that came out of '06 was just how breakable it was.
Just how well you could push it's limits were staggering.

I think a Nintendo vs Capcom game would be hype. Just throwing that out there.

Oh yeah, then Shenmue the game that had notoriously low sales... poor dude's probably still asking about sailors and where you might find them.
Suffice to say both Sega and Capcom is neglecting various series. Though with Capcom, it seems to only be recently.

But at least Capcom is giving some attention to Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, and the Ace Attorney series. Honestly, if they made new Megaman games, and brought DMC and RE back to their roots they'd be golden with most people. Cut down on the DLC stuff too.

Microsoft also bought Rare because they thought they'd have Donkey Kong.
Only to find disappointment. As punishment, they force Rare to make Grabbed by the Ghoulies.

No love for the music or cheesy dialogue? Or mostly good voices(except Rouge's, imo)?

I mean, that's what I find fun about it too, and the multiplayer is great. But I find the story, cutscenes, dialogue, and some of the game play fun too. Silver's and Shadow's especially. Sonic's was okay. I'm probably one of the few who liked playing as Amy in it.

I think they speak for themselves.
Though I never got this, what's with the terrible Sonic games having decent music? It's like the one thing they ever get right.
