Or follow the Apple model: Do that, plus buy out anyone who does produce a good product and lay claim to it. Also, prioritize marketing above all else.

Because Nintendo only owns the Donkey Kong characters, and Rare owns the rest. So they can't.

Plus they have Mario Kart already.

All right, so that means they would like to make self-driving cars their own special class with their own special rules. One of those rules is that only machines could drive the car.

The reason this is being brought up is because insurance companies are sweating about, if a self-driving car runs someone over, who is at fault? The current fix for that is to say that it's still the human's fault, because he/she should have overridden machine's controls to not run the person over.

Which would mean working with rare and their IPs that they are letting rot. And they would basically be in competition with theirselves. Haha. Well, and most likely, it would be a Nintendo & Microsoft exclusive. I can get behind that... Though Microsoft probably couldn't...

From my understanding, based on what I've read on the Xbox board, is that Microsoft doesn't actually need games since it has the most powerful console.

Well, what the hell is the point of a self-driving car if you still have to pay attention to the road?

Sounds like a PC gamer. They always spend time talking about specs and hardware rather than the games themselves.

Sega does it too, with non-Sonic IP's. The last real Shining Force game released in the U.S. was Shining Force III.

And the PlayStation game Fighting Force was originally being developed as Streets of Rage 4 but they nixed that.

For Genesis-era fas and below, yeah I can see why they'd be disappointed. When people pressure Sega to bring PSO 2 to the West, I've seen comments like "Screw that, make Phantasy Star IV" lol.
For Dreamcast and above it's a bit better, with Shenmue 3 finally being developed and Virtua Fighter chars in DOA.
I really fucking want PSO 2 tho. Maybe I should really give up and just play the english patch.
