I don't think Nintendo would let them put adware on the switch.  Sega would have to change the entire model to put it on the switch, so I wouldn't say almost certain.

 

however, I'm sure you could say with some certainty that sega will release some kind of classic collection on the switch (and other consoles). They do almost every generation.

Unless Nintendo's OS is compatible with the programs that allow ads to be run on iOS (used to be iAds forgot the system they use now), or Android (Admob). Nintendo would need to release an update to allow ads to run, or it would end up just being a modified program of SEGA Forever that has the user pay the $1.99 upfront cost and the program will have no ads.

I don't think it is an issue of nintendos os not being compatible, I'm sure it is.  I just don't think Nintendo will allow it.

not necessarily true (in regards for compatibility).

Google for example would need to add support for Admob on Nintendo Switch in order to even have Admob in a Switch Program.  If there is no Switch Admob SDK for the system, developers cannot use Admob on the Switch. Unless Nintendo has released a version of ad support to developers app creation not covered by the media (since program development on the Switch doesn't seem as readily available as other mobile OS's)

because that's what people know from Sega and thus what sells. The other IPs where to push their Hardware, being that consoles or arcade cabinets

That's also the reason why I consider Nintendo going third party to be the worst that could happen. Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Pokemon and once in a while some different game from them? No thanks

But who really gives a shit about Sonic nowadays anyways? It doesn't sell like it use to.

And I don't buy that. Those IPs have their followings that will support new games.

WE know that. But executives are not gamers, they go by brand recognition. When the Dreamcast died, Sonic was still very big, much bigger than all the rest they had at hand. Nowadays they're practically forced to stick with Sonic because they let their old IPs fall into obscurity so much that many have been forgotten by now.

Thats what you do when you're in business. You take risks. I'm pretty sure if they brought back their old IPs and marketed them properly they would sell. Just the hype the original players would generate would be enough to get people interested like what we're seeing with Crash and FF Remake. Instead with each game they water down Sonic's relevance and clout.
