Nintendo should of done some aqcuisitions of studios that went bust. ie factor 5 and free radicals. It would not hurt them. All they would need to do is give them gidence like the old days Nintendo and Rare, and these third parties could of had some awesome games on the Wii.

That would just create them financial burden if/when the times go bad.

I like the thing they're doing now - simple cooperation (like with Metroid - other M or with sega on S&M) -> greater flexibility and they can take their IP's in new directions. I would love to see what would Suda51 do with some of N's IP's

 

 

what financial burden? they have make a load in profit. If they loose 10% of it does it matter to much? If they take some risks the rewards could be much bigger.  I am not saying go out and spend all that money. The state those companies were in would of been a cheap sale.

 

Hell I would of even baught 3D realms and next gen launch duke nukem on the next HD Nintnedo console with MORE improved motions controls. THis would win over heaps of westerners who been waiting.

 

Nintendo's advantage over MS and Sony is being "small" and focused only on gaming industry. They already have kickass first/second party dev teams which bring them millions of dollars with each game released. Buying more devs would only make them bigger and less flexible. They just don't need that. I'm sure when they'll be ready to acquire a dev or two, they would look for an uprising dev team which has not yet etablished itself on the market - not that expensive, yet at peak of their creativity.

The "bargain deals" you're suggesting are mostly teams without the most creative ppl (which left them for greener pastures).

And I hope that your 3DR suggestion was a joke. I'm sure George B and his boys would finish DNF just in time for Wii 3 release.
