Nintendo rejuvenated and dominated the video game industry for years until upstart Sega joined the fray. A vicious yet entertaining console war emerged, a war of mascots, controller layout, and blood censorship. The result broke friendships and drew lines in the playground as fanboys chose one side or the other. Sega eventually dropped out of the console market (so sad) and has no become buddy buddy with Nintendo, bringing their riveting relationship to a happy place where Mario and Sonic can play together…mostly by beating each other up.
