    Your challenge is to have SEGA win the console war while remained in Console wars but what about Nintendo? Nintendo should beat SEGA in both UK and Brazil but SEGA Beat Nintendo in USA and Japan and everywhere except UK, Brazil. Also, Nintendo should go Third Party after The GameCube Bombed...
  6. WI: Instead of Phillips, it’s Sony who gets the rights for Nintendo characters in the 90s?

    There was a thread last month about screwing both Sega and Nintendo in the 90s, to the point where both would leave the console market. In there I had an idea that I thought would be interesting for a thread of its own: In retrospect, it seems Nintendo really dodged a bullet with their...

    AHC: Different console war

    I’ve had ideas of a console war timeline where Nintendo is more competitive towards Sega and Sony, releasing a 16-bit successor to the Famicom/NES in the late 80’s, allowing games like Mortal Kombat to be released uncensored with blood and gore, releasing a disc-based 32-bit console capable of...

    "Some of the world's greatest ideas come out of rivalry. For every Coke, there's a Pepsi. For every Edison, there's a Tesla.

    AHC: Have Sony outright lose the 90s Console War

    Similar to a thread I made a few months ago. The challenge here is to make Sony lose the 90s console war and have them suffer the same fate as OTL Sega, with them not making any more consoles while Sega and Nintendo make it through and continue to make consoles. It could be similar to OTL...

    AHC: Nintendo-Sega alliance

    Sony had plans of alliances with either Sega and Nintendo, and they came quite close to doing this with Nintendo and they tried to team up to create the Nintendo Playstation, but it ended up being unreleased. But I was more interested in the idea of a different timeline where Sega and Nintendo...
