What should Nintendo invest in with all the money they are making?

Anyone who thinks Nintendo is going to buy giant developers is thinking like Sony, not Nintendo.

Agreed, although I do think buying small talented dev teams could be a successful idea.

If they're cheap, sure. Don't expect any purchases much bigger than Monolith (As in, small AA teams), because it just isn't Nintendo's MO.

People, Nintendo isn't financially dominating the industry by acting like this, and buying up companies because golly gee, they have a lot of money and why not spend it? They got where they are -- absolute and total financial domination, anyone who would like to claim otherwise will be eviscerated by empirical evidence -- by being careful, precise, conservative, and financially ruthless.

They did not get where they are by spending tons of money and bragging about how much money they spend. Don't expect that to change now.

 I agree, but I also think Nintendo recognizes that the market and their position has changed significantly.  I think they will be trying new things, maybe not quickly, and definitely not agressively but I do think they will look to make a few moves and as always they will look to make the absolute most out of their money.

 

The one thing I hope they spend the money on is advertising games.  They are so bad about this that its beyond frustrating.
