With the Wii U on the horizon, I think it is time for Nintendo to bolster their first party power, by buying out smaller devs. The last major purchase Nintendo made was Minolith Soft.This is a list of developers that I think Nintendo should buy out, and why they should buy them.
1. Rare
Why?: 'cause, their talent is Rare!
2. Headstrong Games
Why?: Headstong Game has shown that they can make creative, and innovative titles. They can also make games in genres that Nintendo can't (House of The Dead). They have a decet ense of craftmanship, and a lot of talent under the hood. I would like to see what Nintendo and Headstrong come up with together.
3. Treasure
Why?: Treasure, games seem like the kind that Nintendo would like. Tanabe said that they need someone with a sense of craftmanship, and Treasure has just that. They make unique, and polished games, and would make a good addition to Nintendo's group of studios.
4. Crytek UK (Free Radical Design)
Crytek UK is mostly made up of mostly ex-Free Radicals, who all used to work at Rare. The rest speaks for itself.
Others:
Arika
Vicarious Visons
n-Space
5th Cell
Studios I named before
Monster Games
Silicon Knights
Yoshio Sakamoto

Grasshopper Manufacture

Media Molecule (Yes, I'm serious, and too bad it will never happen)
