I know you're joking. But just in case somebody thinks you're serious. Disney is an american company. And Nintendo is part of japanese culture. Even if Disney was willing to whip out the cash, the japanese government would do whatever it takes to make sure an acquisition like this doesn't happen. So, it's very far fetched.. |
The Japanese government hadn't done whatever it takes to prevent the aquisition of (Japanese) Sharp by (Taiwanese) Foxconn in 2016.
"There is a common perception that the Japanese takeover market excludes foreign companies. However, this is not because Japanese takeover law has been designed to protect target companies. Comparing Japanese takeover law with the UK Takeover Code and the European Takeover Directive, considered as competitive models, this thematic and content-based investigation reveals that Japan does not have overt anti-takeover legislation. There is no stake-building control to alert a target company; there is no provision against virtual bids; post-bid undertaking is not legally binding on the bidder; the equivalent of the mandatory bid under the UK Takeover Code and the EU Directive is set at a much higher level so making it less costly for a bidder to obtain corporate control; there is no price control to protect minority shareholders."
