I'd love to see SEGA under Nintendo, but don't think that'll happen. There's a much bigger chance of Nintendo buying a SEGA IP. Remember that we heard a rumor that Nintendo would reveal some kind of partnership or game that would send even bigger shock/rage waves through the business than Bayo2? http://dualpixels.com/2012/11/29/rumor-behind-the-scenes-with-first-party-hardware-and-third-party-softwear-next-gen/

Could it be that Nintendo has worked out some kind of deal with SEGA??

And I don't really understand why everyone here thinks it's better for Nintendo to acquire Platinum Games. Why??

And like S.Peelman said in the post above; I'd also love to see Total War on Wii U :D

Nintendo does have more franchises than they can handle and Platinum Games does have talented people that could make new games for those franchises.

I get that Nintendo has more IP's than they can handle, but why do everyone think that Platinum is so great?! They've done, what, bayonetta? What else?

Lots of people that worked with them in Capcom are now in Platinum as well.

Ok, thanks for the list! I see some high profile games there, but it's not like I'm going "COMFG!!1!"

And Kasz also pointed out a few more things as to why Platinum would be a great accet for Nintendo



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
