Nintendo announced their acquisition of Capcom and Sega today at a press conference in Kyoto, Japan. The two companies will now become first-party developers for Nintendo and provide them with exclusive content.
"We are very excited about the possibilities that this deal opens up for us", said Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. "We had been building a very strong relationship with these companies since early last year [laughs]".
Capcom and Sega's unfinished projects for other consoles will be now cancelled, or perhaps re-worked to be released on the Nintendo GameCube, industry insiders say.
Nintendo declined to comment what projects the newly acquired first parties would be working on, but current rumors indicate that online games will be a major part of any future projects.
