No Nintendo ATVI will not be a Nintendo first party. Activision/Blizzard is worth 13.5 billion, they will want a preium for being bought which will raise the price by another 3-5 billion which will make it out of reach for Nintendo who is currenly worth 15.9 Billion. Even if nintendo were to pay all cash (they have about 10 Billion), they will still be 50% short.. The company doesnt even fit Nintendo overall stragedy so their shares will most likely fall. It would have to be a merger of equals.
Activision on the other hand can go acquire other firms like EA or TTWO, or Ubisoft since the company is bigger.
Microsoft can buy them outright, so can apple. Thats about it.
