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.

Nintendo wouldn't buy Conker. BK, maybe but not Conker. 

Nintendo didn't have much problem with Rare making the original BFD (their only concern was image, and that was dealt with by not showing it off themselves), and they certainly don't have a problem with games like Bayonetta or Captain Rainbow. If Platinum Games were given access to Conker through Nintendo, it would be easy to have it "officially" be published by Platinum Games.
