Should Nintendo invest in a new development studio, similar to Retro Studios?

I think that may be unnecessary. Nintendo doesn't need to buy or create new developers in order to create new entries in dormant franchises, or new IPs. In the past year, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and The Wonderful 101 exemplify this fact.

They may need new ones to fill in where 3rd parties refuse to support.

Even then, I think it becomes a matter of what would be more cost effective: Nintendo footing the bill for exclusives, or starting new developers altogether.

But we shouldn't pretend like those are mutually exclusive. Microsoft in particular is using this strategy.
