It's not like Sega's in hugely better shape than they were a few years ago; if Nintendo wanted the IPs they could still do it. But really, Sega hasn't been shy about whoring out their franchises anyway, so Nintendo could get those games without having to buy the whole company.Nintendo could probably buy the rights to most of Sega's dormant IPs but I doubt they would see their true value without buying the entirety of Sega and making a Nintendo x Sega Smash Bros game. Besides, if they bought Sega, Wii U could be renamed Streamcast and it would mean something. Just trying to re-rail the topic.
And Adrock, Ceric was talking about Remote play which allows you to do just that, play PS3 games on Vita. Right now I'm not sure which games have that feature but hackers couldn't wait and had games like BF3 up and running. However this wouldn't make the unit portable since the PS3 is running the game not Vita.Ah, I see. I thought he meant literally taking his PS3 library and transferring it onto Vita to take places which seemed odd to me because PS3 games like God of War III and Uncharted 2 are huge.
I'm pretty sure from my time with the demo unit that you can't fit a Vita in your pocket, either, unless you're MC Hammer.If you were MC Hammer, you wouldn't need to fit a Vita in your pocket since no one could touch it anyway. /bad joke
Let's take this one step further. Have something that will take your Blu-Ray movie and put it on your vita for you to watch for x amount of time.Can Sony do this without movie studio support? Some movies come with a digital copy and they're typically $5 extra. I don't know if Sony can just enable this without indirectly promoting piracy. Someone would totally crack that within days to circumvent the "x amount of times" limit. It's a great idea in theory but it could end up being a total nightmare for Sony.
I think Nintendo's got a point when they argue against buying up developers willy-nilly because the people working there could just leave. Studios are only as good as the people working there, and buying the company means nothing if the talent decides not to stick around. I like their current strategy of working closely with external teams, like Monster or Next Level Games, without actually buying them.I still kind of wish Nintendo would have purchased Sega while they had a modicum of artistic integrity. It could have been worth it for the IPs alone. Even with personnel departures, I don't think it would have been too difficult to find existing teams with enough passion to do something great with those franchises. It's water under the bridge now but it's one of those what-if scenarios that could have really worked out well.
