If it wasn't for the debts, I could have seen Nintendo bailing them out and it would be their 1st acquisition for a while.

The thing is, 465m yen is like... less than 4m Euro this isn't a drop in the ocean compared to the Net worth of Nintendo which was $37b as of 2018, Nintendo could bail them out 925 times if they wanted to invest and acquire I'm sure the debtors could come to an agreement, anyone would rather get a % of what their owed rather than nothing.

Bailing out is a tricky affair even if you easily can afford to bail an entity out the are factors you have to take note of for example how was this debt accumulated and why, are the chances of such debt arising again in future etc... This is one reason Rare were sold off as they kept consistently going over budget and weren't efficient adding costs that over time would have become notable, AD here seems to have done the same with their first attempt at a HD project. If anything Nintendo may rather just employ the workers and integrate them into their first party teams if they're interested that would be far cheaper than paying £4m this is why the debt is significant.
