Rumour: Nintendo buy Sega and Capcom*
Dec 14th 2002 00:56 by Conor
Could it be? We have received a tip that come Tuesday we`ll all know Nintendos \'mega\' announcement, and it is certainly mega.
There is a rumour that Nintendos big announcement will be revealed on this Tuesday and what will it be? Apparently, Nintendo want to take the Triforce collaborations further down the line, by actually buying out Namco and Sega. But Namco backed out, feeling too much creative control would be taken down to Kyoto so Nintendo opted to go for Capcom. The deal should either be done or almost completed, this would give Nintendo a larger creative base to fight Sony and Microsoft.
Now I must stress to you that this is just a rumour but on a personal note, I have a gut feeling that there is at least a little truth in this. Capcom have shown a lot of enthuasism for Gamecube recently, haven`t they though? Still, it`s a just a rumour, but we are checking this out. So if it turns out that it is true, just remember who told you first.
(Thanks to Martin for the tip)
UPDATED Our source (who wishes to remain anonymous) has added that Capcom will become a first-party whereas Sega will merge with Nintendo, not bought as we originally reported. And Nintendo have stepped up security because of this leak so we won`t be able to get anymore information until the announcement on Tuesday.
This is interesting as the rumor has been circulating awhile that Capcom has been in trouble with finances and so has Sega. The original rumor was that Sega and Capcom would merge. This is just another take on it, though part of it makes sense. Capcom merging with Nintendo. As any Nintendo or Capcom fan knows , Capcom has been extremely excited with the GameCube and has announced more games for the Gamecube than any other system.
Either way, it\'s all rumors but with the way the industry is now (Square and Enix, Rare and MS!?!?) nothing would surprise me.
Any thoughtS?
;)

It would explain the Sega-Capcom merge. Somthing is going to happen, and that is the only thing I am sure of.
I hate to say this since I truly love Capcom and Sega, but is it going to make any difference with the hype machine *cough* ps2? I think not. Especially since most of the gaming populas have 1 console, and probably do not keep up with developers like Capcom.
-
Something big is going to happen soon. Rumors of a Sega, Capcom, and/or Nintendo thing has been happening. Will be interesting to see whats going to happen soon.

:laughing:
Nintendo, Sega, and Capcom together? Yeah right. Capcom and Nintendo is a longshot itself by they are putting impressive games on the Cube.Nin and Sega merging has no chance of merging. They\'ve recently stopped producing their sports game for NGC.
-
I cant imagine Sonic and Mario together.Nintendo owning Sonic?No way am I accepting such a thing.:mad:
-
Unicron: The rumor is Nintendo owning Capcom, and Sega/Nintendo being merged.
I seriously, seriously doubt that it\'ll happen.
-
well, than its a good thing I bought myself a Nintendo now isn\'t it?

Oh my:o
Well....I cant imagine Nintendo and Sega sharing Sonic together then.Its Sega\'s "child".:mad:
-
Sega\'s "child"? I agree, but you may as well get used to the fact that anywhere Sonic goes, it won\'t be home..it won\'t be on a Sega console...

True:crying:.Although I wished I could own Sonic on my PS2(low on cash and cant find DC anywhere).He is my favourite platform character.I always laughed at Nintendo for having mario.And now not only Sega made him on a GC they will share him with Nintendo?NO WAY!!
-
Can\'t find a DC? Ever try Ebay.com or any other online vendors? There are plenty of DC\'s out there.
-
Didn\'t Nintendo announce it as a MEGATON announcement?
capcoM + sEGA + ninTeNdO = MEGATON?
:p
-
Okay, I\'m about this close to disregarding any Megaton rumors now.. but..
The latest Megaton rumor is that Capcom has 3+ more games (on top of Mega Man, RE, the new 4, etc) and that a "revolutionary" new Pokemon game is coming out for GCN in March.. likely in MMORPG format. It\'s prolly a crock. :)
-
That is hardly "Megaton" and if that is what all the hype is, I think a lot of people including myself are goin\' to be extremely dissapointed.
I had no doubt that Capcom has more games in development and that Nintendo has a new Pokemon came in development, but these announcements could and should be held for E3, in my humble opinion.

Yes I did find.But I cant order.I dont have a credit card
-
You don\'t have to have a credit card for Ebay.com. I don\'t have a credit card and I purchase almost all my rarer items from Ebay. If you have a checking account you can use Paypal.com - or if you don\'t have that, use a money order or write a check and mail it off. List goes on and on.
And there is also always Ncsx.com , they take money orders for import orders and have DC\'s in stock.

Here\'s an interesting place to find speculation on a possible Capcom buyout by Nintendo: CBS Marketwatch (http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B1CFBF3B2%2DF0DA%2D4835%2D8F8D%2D584059CDBD75%7D&siteid=mktw).

I am personally praying for a Capcom purchase. It is a personal dream of mine to see all Capcom games on one system. It would also be easier on my wallet, due to the fact I wouldn\'t be collecting ports of games that I already have.
With that said, there is no doubt that Capcom is in position to be bought out anytime and the rumor has been goin\' around for awhile. There is also no doubt that Nintendo is interested and it would be a great business move for them. Not to mention the outstanding support that Capcom is lending Nintendo as of the last year or so and goin\' into \'03.
It would be a great way for Nintendo to boost sales, get more software of all genre\'s and have top quality franchises. I can only cross my fingers that a Capcom buy-out is in the process for Nintendo.
And before anyone says something about how Sony should buy Capcom. I personally don\'t want this. Sony quality control is not up to par , not to mention the fact that I just love the idea of Capcom being under the wing of another \'classic\' company in the industry. I always wanted Capcom to be bought by Sega and that never happened, this is the next to best thing for a Capcom fanatic, such as myself.

Ok I ll see what I can do.

Let\'s put it this way, Nintendo and Sega are single. They start going out. And then get maried. Sega and Nintendo were married with children once before so knoiw they both have eachothers children. And they may make a cool kid in future. :D
-
I see it differently.Sega and Nintendo are the same sex.ITS GAY!!!
-
Not that there\'s anything wrong with that....
*nudges Unicron!*

hehe:laughing:
Shhh!!we shouldnt let the others know about us(someone might get jealous) :D
