Smash Bros Mayhem
E3 2012 was upon Nintendo and they had some big announcements.

The room went dark and multiple character silhouettes started showing up on the screen.

First it was Villager going into his mail box to retrieve a smash invite and as he ran off more characters showed up.

Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Pit, Link, Fox, Samus and Sub-Zero all entered in the television screen representing the Duo Console.

Mario was fighting Bowser in a boxing ring until Villager caught him in a net; however, someone cut Mario out of the net.

'Takamaru makes the cut.'

Takamaru starts throwing shuriken until a gold coin knocks his away. Takamaru looks up and sees a certain Blue Haired Ninja.

'Goemon sneaks in'.

The screen moves to Goemon and shows him fighting all the other characters until he tries to hit Bowser. and is stopped by a magic spell.

'Dixie Kong breaks in'

Dixie Kong is seen attacking Bowser after knocking out Kamek.

The fighting continues until Master Hand shows up and starts turning characters into trophies. A lone hand stops Master Hand

'Isaac stands his Ground.'

Isaac shows off his Psynergy attack against Master Hand whilst saving Mario and the other characters.

The screen fades to black and Reggie Fils Aime is seen on stage.

"What you just saw is the newest title in the Super Smash Brothers series." "The game is called Super Smash Brothers Mayhem and only releases for the Nintendo Duo."

"Not only that but we have DLC characters for the game. Take a look."

The screen shows a Bear with a packback on with a Bird inside it. 'Banjo and Kazooie and raring to go.'

With that Nintendo's E3 concludes.

Dataminers got ahold of the game and discovered what the full roster looks like:

Blue squares are starting characters
Red squares are unlockable characters
Yellow squares are DLC characters.

Surprising most people was the inclusion of Goro from Mortalk Kombat, Snake from Metal Gear, Jester from Gauntlet Dark Legacy and Talon from Primal Rage. Super Smash Brother Mayhem released in late 2014 and is met with critical acclaim but critics and fans both lamented the absence of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Butterfly Effects: Due to Sega getting back into the gaming market and making their own Smash Brothers, Sonic is no longer in Super Smash Brothers. Without Bandai-Namco co developing the game series Pacman is no longer in neither is Kos-Mos nor T-Elos. Due to the popularity of Xenoblade (the original sold 2 million copies) Riki is added as a character into Mayhem's roster.

And that Geomon with the yellow hair looks like Kid Goku in Super Saiyan form.

Microsoft must be punching air how big they fucked out( if gamepass or equivalent ever exist,that would be their hail Mary to salvage the brand)
Atari and SEGA must be popping out the champagne right now, that's a successful generation already.

And apple with very cheap hardware got a good slice of pie. Add some streaming service their thing and that thing would explode later on

I mean, we do have three new consoles in the market, and in this case, getting the bronze medal isn't all bad, right?

Sega, absolutely. But I think the folks at Atari would be less eager to get drunk at fourth place.

Yes. 20 million sold is better than I'd expect from a market on the hardware rise.
 
Sega, absolutely. But I think the folks at Atari would be less eager to get drunk at fourth place.
I mean the breaking point the console become successful, depends from console to console but for Nintendo their target seems to be at least 30M of hardware unit, that must be the breaking point of market penetration. All fourth break it and apple at 20M was similar OTL GameCube that was profitable at similar price range

Being a budget console helps big time in this case.

Well, this is all still nice.
 
Final Threadmark: Gaming in the Palm of Your Hands
With Nintendo and Midway Games riding high on sales it was obvious the next step would be to capitalize the success.

The Late Satoru Iwata had one final idea, a portable home console hybrid, a game system that could be taken anywhere the user desired.


Video credited to Nintendo of America

Sega with their 'Nitro' pushed Sonic into the limelight of which he had never seen and the Chao Garden proved more popular than ever.

Atari's Wildcat continued selling consoles with the release of Fall Out 4 despite the bugs and Mincecraft.

Microsoft's XBox Series X/S wowed gamers with its graphical fidelity and improvements on what families could bring to the table.

And the Apple IGame S12 continued to wow gamers with its affordable gaming price.

Nintendo was riding high with its launch titles of:

1) Breath of The Wild
2) Super Mario Odyssey
3) Mach Rider 2112
4) Splatoon 2
5) Mortal Kombat 10
6) Castle Vania Dark Judgement
7) Metal Gear 5
8) Ganbare Goemon 3 Ghost Exterminator
9) Takamaru's Shogun Adventure
10) Rampage: Kaiju Brawlers
11) NBA Jam Switch
12) NFL Blitz Dream Match

With all these titles in the running Nintendo was pleased with quality sales.

Final Butterfly Effects:

Nintendo's name is known as the one stop for gaming of all ages. Sega is back in business as the alternative to anyone wanting Nintendo's console. Those who wish to cost with top tier graphics go with Microsoft. Atari fulfills the need for Minecraft and Open World Gaming. And Apple provides the budget console for families that just want something affordable. With Mortal Kombat as Nintendo's traditional fighter ARMS doesn't get created.

Nintendo had solidified their place in gaming and was not going to go away anytime soon.

Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Alternate Timeline.png

Nintelevision swept Cartoon Network with a flurry of popularity that Disney nor Nick could rival. Famicom Detective Club showed that old cartoons could work and Ganbare Goemon was popular for Saturday morning cartoons alongside Pokemon. Other channel holders clamored for Nintendo’s shows but Nintendo stuck with Cartoon Network replacing Teen Titans Go’s Saturday Block. Nintendo’s last acquisition was Dynamo Pictures which had made the Pikmin Shorts and was renamed to ‘Nintendo Pictures’.

After the success of Super Smash Brothers, Sega knew it needed its own spin on the platform fighter and decided to make its own game of it.
