If we're going into full fantasy here, OK this would be the dream:
• Hudson Soft gets resurrected.
• SNK, Hudson Soft, Sega, and Nintendo make an alliance for a new cutting edge Arcade and Home Cartridge based platform.
• The new NX is this platform, it gets released as Arcade cabinets, Portable Devices, Cellphones, and Home Consoles.
• This alliance releases physical carts that work on all platforms, so buying a game can work in an arcade cabinet, cellphone, or console. With REAL MANUALS., advanced 3D Printing technology enables these carts to be POD, thus enabling each of these companies extensive back catalog to be available for this new system.
• Sega releases a Sonic thats actually better than Sonic 3.
Arghhh! that felt good, please excuse me, I ran out of tissues.
