Just to help a bit, Nintendo owns the following studios:

Retro
Hal Laboratory
Monolith
ND Cube
Intelligent Systems

Only 5 were acquired by Nintendo, they have many others that mainly develop for Nintendo though.

I would personally be happy if Nintendo acquired Platinum Games

?

Intelligent Systems weren't bought they were an internal team formed by Nintendo which was headed by Toru Narihiro, they became IS when the company restructured back in the 90s.

LOL, I assumed it was acquired because it didn't have Nintendo in the name...
