Going by their latest financials it would seem Namco are in a spot of financial bother. Don't know if this makes them vulnerable to takeovers etc. by other companies but i'm sure a decent amount of investment wouldn't go amiss. I know that Nintendo had a small stake in Bandai before they amalgamated with Namco. Not sure if this equates to a tiny share in the amalgamated company. I think it would be a good idea for Nintendo to either invest some money in Namco or if they already have a small share, then to increase it. I mean Namco kind of make similar games to Nintendo in some genres. Nintendo should buy as many shares as they can without it being a "hostile" takeover and if they are either shrewd or lucky, they could find themselves to be the major shareholder, thus gaining exclusive rights to a pretty good portfolio of games in all genres. Coupled with Nintendo's IP's i think they would make quite a formidable force.
I know Nintendo aren't usually that aggressive but they have money now and in my opinion it would only be a really good thing. Having Tekken 7 exclusively for your console would be a plus but just imagine...... Ridge racer Wii exclusive!!!! That would be mega!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!
