First, so it might not even be set in the main canon, but a comic canon like how Sonic Boom is set in a TV series canon?

Second, as to Nintendo, while Sega makes the games, some of them have been released on Nintendo consoles (like Sonic Adventure, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic Riders for GameCube, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity and Sonic Unleashed for the Wii (Wii version is better for Unleashed, I can tell just by watching both Dark Gaia fights and by fighting him on the Wii version), Sonic Rush for 3DS, and Sonic Lost World for the Wii U.

Which makes me wonder if Nintendo's the one at fault with the Mario & Sonic opportunities they threw away. They are making a poor decision on Color Splash, but I'll watch a playthrough video of it when it comes out and see if it improved from Sticker Star (they did mention people judging games they know next to nothing about too harshly so maybe they learned from Sticker Star, but we'll see). Sonic Colours was a popular game. If anything Nintendo probably don't want another rivalry with Sega again that roots deep down to the fandom like the 90s.

Personally I think such a rivalry will be profitable and exploitable outside of SSB and Olympics.

But I don't want a main series Sonic-Mario crossover. That be too much for me. Brawl, SSB4 and Olympic games are spin-offs and not part of Sonic's canon and I'd rather keep Mario outside of Sonic's world.
