That's why we need more people coming forward about bad games, like bad movies they're a goldmine of comedy, If anything all of this is butterfly away, as Altered Beast Reboot ITTL sold far better and that was done internally, ITTL if there is a GA one would be Internal too or if Nintendo works with an external studio, Nintendo Vigilant Eye Wouldn't allow something like that.
Burying the Hatchet: A Nintendo/Sega TL

Shadow the Hedgehog is probably the lowest Sonic will sink ITTL and even then Shadow the Hedgehog is only critically panned while fan opinion ranges from good to mixed, it's not universally bad. 3D Sonic will be a "once every console generation" type of affair much like the 3D Mario games so quality will be assured. Especially since Sonic Team will also be busy with non-Sonic projects like a Phantasy Star Online for Wii, Puyo Puyo, and they're currently doing the bulk of Twilight Princess' development along with Nintendo EAD.
At the very least there will be no universally bad Sonic game like OTL Sonic 06.
That is good to know, but in other news; the creators of John Wick have been tapped to create an film adaption of Streets of Rage. Is there any plans on Sega and Nintendo to make films in the early tens, GG?
It Took OTL new 10's for Nintendo to even give a glance to film adaptation since the SMB failure, and the abortive attempts of Eternal Darkness and Metroid that ended in nothing too(and the rumour that Sony was working on a Star Fox movie that ended up being repurposed as Stealth but that's just an urban legend) . So here would remain the same. We need a big butterfly to make either Nintendo or Hollywood be interested in giving videogame some care than Uwe Bowl Moneylaundering Schemes. Could happen but with some justification.
The Jim Henson Company is doing a Star Fox Movie set for release in 2006. The future of Nintendo movies all hinges on Star Fox's Box office. At least in Hollywood that is. I doubt Nintendo would just sit around owning Sunrise Studio and not taking advantage of them.
Hell even the OTL 2023 Mario Movie is only happening because Miyamoto just happen to run into Chris Meledandri while at Universal Studios Japan and they seemed to hit it off really well.

Well that Confirm it, Nintendo is trusting and Betting on Henson and the fantastic star fox so wait to see how that unfold.
Yeah but Anime and anime cutscenes for games are not the same as a movie, even people forget that animal crossing got an animated movie too
If you're talking about doing a live action adaption, then you're right. But as far as animated films go, Sunrise studio 2 (Char's counterattack), studio 5 (Inuyasha), studio 6 (Sgt . Frog) would be your best bet for an in-house adaption.
I know Gaminguy already answered, but I've always been of the opinion that Nintendo is one of the few companies that could whip Sega into proper shape if they'd ever gotten the chance to purchase them back in the day when it would've actually been viable to do so. Granted, Nintendo produces clunkers themselves from time to time, but I think the drive to make good on their investment would've probably avoided much of Sonic's checkered history since the halcyon days of the Dreamcast (through my heavily biased, rose-tinted glasses, of course).
Love the timeline, though! Nintendo/Sega team-ups are always fun and it's one of the few things I can read about endlessly while not getting bored of the premise.
That said, I do wonder if Nintendo's expansion spree can continue for much longer ITTL. Sega was probably doable given the circumstances at the time, but I'm still imagining it was quite the tough pill to swallow; couple that with Monolith Soft, Rareware, and now Bandai I imagine that this quite the undertaking. DICE is probably still possible, but I imagine lawmakers could start scrutinizing the Big N a lot more once the ink is dried on the deal with Bandai.
I'm actually most curious how Sony is going to react to this given that the Japanese gaming industry largely seems to be a careful balancing act between several large companies that generally try not to step on each others' toes too much - or at least that's how it seems from outside observation. These might be perceived as very aggressive, threatening moves by them. They're still king when it comes to sales, but losing a ton of licensed anime and manga stuff might be hard to stomach.
Speaking of DICE: there's nothing ITTL that says they'd have to continue doing Battlefield all the time and I'd love to see more cross team collaboration on projects. But hear me out since the game was already brought up...
Just a potential spinoff, perhaps.

Yeah but would be like the animal crossing movie,a Japan only affair,maybe a direct to video in the west with some luck but we already got good news
Help that Sega knows the future hardware they will work on vs Sonic 06s development. Considering that they split the team to make Sonic and the Secret Rings when they learned that the Wii wasn't a HD-targeting console, there will be no issues here. Would also help if they didn't have a hard deadline to release the game if leadership doesn't need a game for the 15th anniversary.
I wonder how Nintendo/Sega will transition to the HD era. I expect much growing pains. Perhaps there will be work on forming a dedicated game engine team that will be used by both Nintendo and Sega?
And Yuji Naka better not dabble in insider trading. Stick to developing this timeline's Rodea the Sky Soldier.

I wonder if he did genuinely got the info from the other two or just saw people selling and hop in.... still those weren't the news to end a Thursday.
There the hedgehog engine and Nintendo OTL didn't have more issues that lack of development teams.. something they solved now with Sega, Hudson and later on Bandai/Banpresto and maybe dice
That would be very funny as the Japanese name literally means... Valkyria of the Battlefield....
It really doesnt matter, the japanese system will consider him guilty by default and even if he could prove his innocence(in this case he cant) he'd still be seen as a criminal by society
I wont enter in more details about this because it'd go in Modern Politics, but it can be summed up as him being a example made to pass a message, wheter he did it or not is irrelevant to the estabilishment
if you want you can share more details in chat or via PM, now i got hooked over the situation, seems something interesting in the Chinese sense.
On the one hand, using Studio 5 for a Zelda or Fire Emblem cartoon would just rock.
On the other hand, going from Kermit the Frog to Sergeant Frog is quite an accomplishment for connections.

That's a good-sized roster ITTL. I especially like how there's a Pac-Man DLC pack to justify Square Namco's involvement.
But could we get a Sonic sports game where Sonic is the ball? That way, we can have him in the game and give light to the less famous Sonic characters.
Lofty idea, I know.
