"Sega for sale(?) and I have NiGHTS!"

Shares in Sega rose today sparked by speculation that the company has been put up for sale. Although this will not be the first time such rumours have arose about CSK (Sega's parent company), with news of Microsoft buying Rare (something that, a year ago would have been laughable), it is not unlikely that talks could be underway.

Annoyingly, I didn't buy shares in Sega when I said I would right after the DC collapsed :(

Moving on, after buying NiGHTS from a guy called Gregg on ebay, I have collected the game, popped it in, almost completed it, and proclaim to you all:

THIS IS THE MOST ORIGINAL, CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE, BRILLIANT GAME EVER.

Transmission end.

hm, I thought that Nintendo were selling Rare so they could use the money to buy Sega. It's a possibility.

It's also a possibility that I spelt possibility wrong, it could well be a possibility that I don't care if there's a possibility that I spelt possibility wrong.

Oh, and I told you, NiGHTS is great, Christmas NiGHTS even more so.

Sorry, I get quite stupid when I'm half asleep.:-(

hmmm...


SonicRave [WHO?!] used the word notable but not in the notable way. [Can you use words "notably"?]

It's notable that he was saying it to be more reconized [AmericaniZms. We hate them] not a status notable. [Actually I said it because it expressed what I meant. Not to be recognised]

Boy, I love confusing myself. [Be a good boy and chase your own tail]

Well, MS have Japanese HQs now. Oh, and only some of Sega work with Ninty (AV and SonicTeam being the most notable). Smilebit are in bed with MS, and AM2 (the biggestish division) are aiming at PS2 an Xbox

Capcom buy the home video...

Sega sleep with Nintendo.

Namco watch and get all horny.

Sega have already said that they would never sell to anyone outside of Japan.

Nintendo it is then...

:D

Yes! Thanks sonic :-)

By the way i agree with both of you DC and sonic, Sonic in games like that would be excellent.

Hmmmm.. good question.

Well, seeing as Sega is soon to be the 2nd biggest games developer in the world, I'd hate to see all their games becomming tied to one platform (but Gates would love it). Indeed, it is impossible to tie a developer this size down in that way immediately... but none-the-less is a possibility.

But back to the question... who would I like to see buy Sega...

From a gamer point of view, Nintendo and Sega would be great. We have rumours of Sonic appearing in Mario Kart (Shigsy said so), as well as Sega making F-zero.

From a market view, I would love to see MS get Sega. Finally they will have the quality first party titles with which to attract the Japanese audience, and make the whole market more competitive.

From a Sega-fan view, I would like the company to remain third party.
