Let's be more realistic.
Reading through this thread you get the impression that some of you just think that all Nintendo has to do is call a company up and say I'm buying you and thats it. That is not how mergers or buyouts work. An example - Nintendo could not just buy SEGA. mostly because of Sammy. SEGA and Sammy are legally the same company so If Nintendo bought SEGA they also have to buy SAMMY. When SEGA bought Atlus they didnt just buy Atlus. They bought Index and everything connected to them too(rather wanted them or not) and had to pay all their bills and liabilities. Contrary to popular belief SEGA is not broke and being tied to SAMMY gives them a large cash reserve + plus the iron grip they have on the arcade scene would be more than just a pretty penny.
I promise you. If Nintendo merges with a company it will not be a game company. They will do something similar to SEGa where they will merge with a company that will let them reach outside video games. If Nintendo buys a company it will be a C or B class level company.
