"IF" Nintendo did go under. which dev/pub would you like to get which IP?

Sega/Sumo: Mario Kart

Obsidian: Fire Emblem, The Legend of Zelda

Platinum: Star Fox

Emitan Studios: Super Smash Bros.
 
Give Fire Emblem to Firaxis.

I couldn't care less about the others, so I'd probably suggest dividing the remaining IP's up between Rovio and Zynga just to be a complete dick.
 
I don't want capitalist Microsoft to get a single IP.
Give them to Sega or Sony.

Heck, I'd not mind Valve either (if they only released it on a non-Microsoft platform).
 
Square Enix should get Mario so that series can finally get the epic, voice acted, dramatic narrative it needs.
 
I'm amazed we reached so far without a mention of the Vita side-along lol
(Proud of you all)

Usually anything Nintendo or Wii U related, Vita always gets a mention, almost like a system approved knockback
 
In a last ditch effort, Nintendo and Sega merge and launch the Dreamcast 2, with a launch lineup of:
-Skies of Arcadia 2
-Xenoblade 2
-Super Mario Multiverse
-MarioXSonic Racing
-Shenmue 3
-Fire EmblemXShining Force
-Space Channel 5
-House of the Dead
-Pikmin 4
-REZ 2
-Sin and Punishment
-F Zero Legacy
-Metroid Dread

Then the world implodes.
 
No, people are just being crazy, it's not like Nintendo is selling corporate buildings or anything yet.

True, hopefully they can hit that magical 100,000 Wii U's sold in a month plateau sometime soon


You know what I mean

I was going to add a spoiler comment regarding this, but said hopefully GAF has gotten passed that quote, now you said it routine, I've failed like the Wii U sales

:O

Stahp. Stop saying things I want to happen.
 
Not only the big 3rd party publishers and Sony/MS would fight for Nintendo IPs, but the likes of Apple, Disney could come to the table for getting these major IPs.
But I can't imagine a good publisher/developer for the big IPs. Star Fox to Treasure or Platinum, Fire Emblem to Atlus but that's all.
 
Geez I know Nintendo has taken heavy losses but this is a bit unwarranted currently. This is the year they finally fill the Wii U library with stuff and their making the demo's available on Best Buy Kiosks during E3 so everyone can play and know about them and not just those that attended.

They're getting exclusives locked down on their console, and have you forgotten how ridiculously popular Smash Bros is? That things alone should seriously boost their fiscal year once it hits.

They've suffered but this is like saying because someone has a bad year in sports they will never do well again.
 
Can you imagine Mario running around with a RYNO (Rip You New One)

"It a me Mario", BLAM BLAM BLAM BOOM! *Star Spangled Banner playing in the background*

I think that would go exactly against Miyamoto's wishes but I can imagine it.


Ratchet & Clank meets Mario would be an amazing Cross over but I think that they are better off in their own seperate universes doing their own things.
 
Obsidian: Fire Emblem

For me. I'd like Sony to pick up Mario. I'd like an evolution developed Mario kart.

I'd like CDProjekt to get Zelda.

I'd like Konami to get Metroid then let Igarashi make a new 2D metroid.

Your thoughts?

Yeah no.

Especially Metroid, do you want it developed less then it is already?

---

I think SEGA would try and pick up a bunch of stuff. Mario for example, even Nintendos The Pokémon Company shares.

Then I think Microsoft or Sony will try and pick up a few IPs. Metroid, Starfox for example.

Regardless think for a moment, if Nintendo ever did go under, the bidding war for these IPs would be rediclious.
 
Personally, I'd say...

The Legend of Zelda: Crytek USA
Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupee-Land: Double Fine
Fire Emblem: Firaxis
Mario Kart: Sumo Digital
Star Fox, F-Zero: Platinum Games
Metroid: From Software

Wow. I kinda read the OP as an obvious hypothetical to have some silly fun theorizing.

Its sensitive as shit around here, huh?

I can see how people would get annoyed at the large number of negative threads about the Wii U and the major resurgence in "Nintendoom" sentiment. However, those people should be exercising a little self control and ignoring the threads instead of thread-whining and making defensive posts.

For me, it's not that the negativity exists. It's the number of threads per day... it's getting really REALLY obnoxious. What I wouldn't give for one big "We hate Wii U and here's why" megathread.
 
You know, all of them

That one, that people really loved to play or the one that is the cult classic
Can be the gamechanger one or that one where you pressed a button and did stuff

Yeah, exactly, but don't forget the one with those colors.

Why would I want a Shining Force Fire Emblem crossover instead of a new Shining Force (Camelot, obviously) and a new Fire Emblem?

ShenForce, on the other hand...
 
Yeah, exactly, but don't forget the one with those colors.

How can I forget about the colors one, so stupid of me

It even gave you 2 Platinums!

The best part, there are more vague titles that at least can be played coming for it than for the Wii U @_@!

The Legend of Zelda: Crytek USA
Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupee-Land: Double Fine
Fire Emblem: Firaxis
Mario Kart: Sumo Digital
Star Fox, F-Zero: Platinum Games

HAHA what?! I like Crysis and all but what makes you think this is remotely a good idea.

I mean, in this scenario both come later.

Also, there's a new Jet Set Radio, Startropics, Goemon's Adventure and a new Shining In The Dark that plays similarly to Dark Souls. (This is part of the winter/spring lineup after the 9/9/2019 launch)

Who wants to come live in my dream land?
