Jobs is a marketing whiz and he knows how to make people want to buy his products. He could persuade a man dying of dehydration in a desert that it wasn't in his best interest to stop at the next oasis if he put his mind to it.

I'm now picturing Steve and Reggie tag-teaming at a future E3 and Nintendo's like, "****"
 
I think that the hypothetical Apple-Sega console should have the Apple logo as well as the Sega branding. It should still be made in Sega's name, though.

Branding is important so I would think that Jobs will allow the console to continue being called Sega ____ but I'm sure we'll also be seeing a prominent Apple logo somewhere on the box itself or even on the console somewhere. Or we might just get a small blurb about it being "powered by Mac OS" at the bottom.
 
Things that just came from the GDC talk on Breath of the Wild, very early and scrapped concepts. No Spoilers.

https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/837031975839936512 - Link in modern-style dress, as a biker or a guitar player

Makes you think what absurd ideas got tossed out in this timeline.

To be fair, the original concept for The Legend of Zelda did have Link traveling between the 'present' (i.e. the medieval setting) and the far flung future. It's all relative though I have to say I can't really imagine a Zelda in a modern setting.
 
Ok that was one heck of an update as the Wave is one heck of a machine.
And it
Was
Awesome.

It's really the time to Wave the Ultra goodbye.
A shame of what happened to MK: DD, though some of the new levels sound cool.
I'm hoping the next Zelda is good. (I love WW, but that's probably butterflied)
Great Update. Great job!

...You know, I just realized that the "Get a Mac" line of commercials is basically tailor made for the Console Wars. You could literally just swap out Microsoft (or keep them in, but have it be the next Sega console vs. the Xbox) with Nintony and it pretty much works brilliantly. You could even bring back "Sega does what Nintendon't" if you want to bank on nostalgia.
 
Thanks ry, now i'm imagining link with jon st john voice..
*Pulls Master Sword out of whatever rock/alter it's in this time* "Groovy!"
*Kneels before Zelda and looks up over his shades* "Hail to the Princess, baby."

Couldn't resist.
Awesome update by the way!

My vote is still for the handheld to be called the Apple-SEGA iGear.
 
Quick question: Will The Da Vinci Code still get written and made into a movie?

Nope. Dan Brown is writing for video games primarily. His most well known work is the Runner Mike series, which sort of plays like a proto-Uncharted with the same sort of religious/historical conspiracy storylines that would be seen in Brown's OTL books. The Runner Mike games sell pretty well and are known as fairly good games, so Brown is still doing well, just not AS well as OTL.

Are there any people who work on video games OTL but do something else ATL? Hideo Kojima could've made a great movie director - he's a major cinephile, too - but that ship's sailed.

Kojima professional degree is Film even and that showed in Snatcher and Policenauts and got overboard with MGS4.
