They did buy Monolith Soft and put out Xenoblade/Disaster/Project X Zone/XenoSaga DS. So maybe they would have them do new IP's aswell as old.

This is a stupid rumor. It originates from some youtuber who goes by the name "Hiphopgamer1". :roll:

I'm sure he means the most recent thoughts about it. Despite being the same subject, they're practically two different rumors given how long ago that was and everything that has changed in videogames.

Bad move financially. Nintendo got it's arse kicked out on the street with the Gamecube. If this happens with any other future Nintendo console, it'd put SEGA in too much of a shit situation. The amount of money they'd lose out on from cross-platform titles, film licensed games, etc.

And yes, like many current and former SEGA fans, I'm still waitin on their inevitable return to the console market. Sure, it probably won't happen for the next couple of untouched generations, but let's face it, can you think of anyone who wouldn't seriously consider buying "the new SEGA"?

Dunno why, but I don't like people saying "Super Nintendo" or "Super Nes". It was the fucking SNES!

Independance is the only way for Sega.

What a great idea. It would be nifty if it had a more modern video panel and modern component out. (The US doesn't have scart) I wonder what the other 40 "bonus" games are. :-k

And seriously! What is with everyone referring to their Genesis as "I have a sega"?! A Sega WHAT? I would say. That was so confusing!

Except not really because no one seems to have ever heard of the Master System in the States and apart from my self, I knew no one personally who had a sega cd or 32x. :sad:
