Hi this is my first alternate history timeline, so writing tips and constructive criticism is appreciated. Plus there aren't a lot of “Nintendo buys Sega in the 2000s' ' timelines out there.

Aah, the 5th generation of video games... arguably, the one that propulsed gaming back onto the mainstream. It's famous for a lot of reasons, including the meteoric rise of Sony in the gaming space, the disgraceful fall of Sega, the advent of 3D graphics... I could name a lot. But still, the...

So, what if Sony never entered the console market with the PlayStation, or just didn't bother with the idea of a game console at all, thus leaving Nintendo to compete with only Sega in the console wars?

Nintendo and Silicon Graphics confirm "Project Reality"; New disk-based console in development As sourced by the New York Times [1] - Aside from the disk-based hardware this is essentially OTL. Nintendo wanted to release "Project Reality" in '95 but had to delay it for technical reasons. Of...

So while thinking about the upcoming inevitable reveal of Smash info at E3, I began to wonder...what if Sony, and not Nintendo, had created the Smash Bros. franchise? The PSX already had its fair share of good fighting games, but I don't remember any that felt as "accessible" or "sit down and...

I've seen a few places around the web about Sony having approached Sega after Nintendo struck down the deal on the SNES-CD. Sega of America wanted to work with Sony to develop a new console, but Sega of Japan turned down the idea and Sony went on to develop the Playstation. What if Sega of Japan...
