Um, PlusFan, you do know that Nintendo owns Sega now, right?
I didn't now! 
I do know that Mario and Sonic became friends, though 
Ya....it happened when the Dreamcast was out...that's why the Dreamcast just died for no real reason.
Sega now makes games for Nintendo, and a FEW for other consoles. Haven't you wondered why there was no next gen console by sega? o.O
Sega ARE NOT owned by Nintendo. The pulled out of the console game as they were constantly in debt from the venture. Unable to finance consoles and games from a new wave of enemies (not only Nintendo, but Sony and Microsoft) they now join the rest of the world as an independent software company, making games FOR their enemies!!
This happened in 2001. You have to remember that Sega have always made money from their games, and many still regarded them as a dominant force in gaming innovation/concept (perhaps that's why Nintendo can relate - they are of the same breed/era!). Sega games can be found on Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, PC, Mobile Phone and arcade platforms. Sega aren’t a small company either - they have many teams ranging from game distribution to game development, in which 'Sonic Team' (responsible for the Sonic games among other things) is one of the most recognised teams' in the world. Through the Sonic character Sega have also built presence worldwide - something few companies can credit to their name.
To this day, I still regard 'Sonic 3 and Knuckles' the best side-scroller I have ever played.
