Nintendo doesn't need to buy anyone.  They just need to focus on more exclusive deals and, sadly, probably follow the model of MS and Sony and help pay for development of some key titles.  I could easily see SE making a new Final Fantasy or Capcom make a new Monster Hunter for the next Nintendo system exclusively, if Nintendo helped pay for its development.

Nintendo could have gotten Final Fantasy on the Wii if they really wanted. From what I heard all they needed to do was ask.

FF has always been a series that focuses on graphics and 'cenematic feel' more than anything.  It was a no brainer that SE put FFXIII (and upcoming main FF games) on the HD consoles.  But in order to put it on the Wii, they'd have to create a whole new engine and graphical style.

Perhaps once Cafe comes out ,they might port FFXIII-2 and FFXIII Versus to it.  As long as it can support games on the graphical level of PS3 and allows adaptation of a similar engine.  As it stands, they had to make major changes to the engine just to get it on XBOX360.
