Hello, before we get started this is all in good fun and is meant to be my take on 'What If Nintendo bought SEGA', I'd appricate all the comments on my story and contributions I can get, just don't add anything to major since I don't want anything to get in the way of my vision for this...

this timeline is a reboot of my first ever timeline called What if Nintendo Stayed in the Arcades (V1) and a return to form for my projects. which i kept making and trying to get bigger and bigger until i went into a project so large that i quit and reflected on what project i should do; and...

Ralph Baer, inventor of the first video game console, claimed that he first devised the concept of an interactive television set in 1951. If he had pursued that idea back then, How would a video game system invented then effect the long-term trajectory of the field? How would the culture develop...

Let's say that, sometime around say, the mid 2000s, Apple got the courage to give the gaming industry another shot. We all know that the Apple Bandai Pippin failed so bad that it led Apple nearer to bankruptcy and Bandai almost merged with Sega, but by the mid 2000s, Apple was pretty much at...

Nintendo is and has been a household name in the gaming industry and in entertainment industry as an whole but they started out as an card maker in 1889 and were a toy maker for the vast majority of its life and in the late 1970's they dipped their toes as arcade developers but abandoned...

A continuation of the Top Video Games Never Made thread, which died out recently. New Super Mario (2004) Platform: Nintendo DS In a reinvention of the classic Super Mario 2D formula, we follow Mario and Princess Peach on their adventure to save Prince Cream, Peach's younger brother, from Bowser...

Imagine a world that started off very similar to our own, but branching off around 1981. Attempting to work up a successor to the Atari VCS to better combat the Intelivision, Atari first looks to the 3200 System X (aka Sears Super Arcade II), a backwards compatible system based on an...

I know I maybe wrong, but compared to Japan and US/Canada South Korea has never really had a big game developer a la Nintendo or Microsoft. With a POD of 1980, change this. TBH, I think Samsung could easily e a good candidate for it in the 1990s and 2000's.

I don't think there's much that needs to be said about Atari following the video game crash of 1983. The once-greatest face in the North American video game market faltering to the point of being split up and resold between numerous parties until today where the current name and rights are now...

Reckoning some memories from a game i was fond of, but somewhat frustrated about. Tribes: Ascend is/was a first-person shooter game developed and published by Hi-Rez Studios in 2012. The premise is clear: every player controls a soldier with a jetpack to fly and hover around with, "skating...

In 1995, one of Nintendo's most revolutionary devices was released to the market: the Virtual Boy! Nobody really expected much of the console (in fact, many expected it to bomb from the information available prerelease). 5 years of being the 2nd most popular portable system (behind the Game Boy...

From the creator of Nintendo's New Groove comes an alternate timeline thread set in a completely different alternate timeline from NNG! Now let’s get to see what we have here! You may know how Sega is on the top as of the early 1990s with their Sega Genesis, what with the development process on...

Somewhere, in the early 1980s, Atari and Nintendo had plans for releasing the Famicom outside of Japan. But due to some unfortunate setbacks such as the Great Video Game Crash of 1983, something involving Coleco showing a demonstration of a prototype of Donkey Kong for its forthcoming Coleco...

I don't know how best to put this but, like all things, gaming has been vastly influenced by history. But how would certain games change in Alternate History? Before we start i do have one general request Please explain the sort of TL your alt. game is from, and how it differs from its OTL...

Well we know how the story goes. Disney sought to expand into the gaming industry and hasn't stopped ever since. They successfully competed with Activision to buy out Blizzard, thus giving them control over the world's largest MMO. This was followed by their 2009 buyout of Pandemic Studios...

I have seen some mentions of Frostpunk in the general gaming thread but I think this game should have its own thread. It's an alternate history city building simulator wherein the late 19th century, a global cooldown caused the collapse of human civilization. You play as the mayor of one of the...

Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnought is a real-time strategy game developed by Game-Labs, who are known for their Ultimate General Series. In the game you are both a ship architect (imagine you're the Admiralty sending out specifications to designers in a world where HM Treasury kowtows to the Navy)...
