If Nintendo made a Banjo deal with Micro, would you be interested?

Nintendo should come up with a list of Rare franchises that they would be willing to buy off Microsoft. Both BK and Conker would be good (perhaps Nintendo could get full rights to everything from Diddy Kong Racing). So would Battletoads, Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, and Jet Force would also be nice.

When it comes to BK and Conker, I already have ideas. I'd love to see Michel Ancel be offered BK for development on Nintendo systems (perhaps as a joint development between Ubisoft and Nintendo, rather than a pure Ubisoft development team), while I think Conker would be handled well by Platinum Games. I could also see Nintendo's partnership with Bandai Namco be extended following the release of Smash Bros, with them working on Killer Instinct.

Alas, it is almost guaranteed not to happen.

They should have bought them  when RARE wanted to sell out to NIntendo. One of their biggest mistakes ever.

Wii could of had some great gap fillers from these franchise and WIi U could of had some more bullets for launch and be able to provide the IP for constant release cycles.

Out of curiosity, how much would the buy-out have cost Nintendo? I know Microsoft payed a staggering $375 million, but how much was expected from Nintendo?
