Sure, a non-exclusive deal shouldn't be that expensive. But then, what's the point? If the deal isn't exclusive and Nintendo get a successful game from it then wouldn't other publishers like EA, Activision, Ubisoft etc also makes those games and throw tonnes of money into the marketing of them?

The game's that Nintendo makes would be exclusive to them. Like Star Wars Rogue Squadron wasn't on the Playstation because Nintendo had a deal with LucasArts. 

Though I suspect Disney would be open to some kind of exclusivity over Guardians/Avengers games right now. It's not like they're making a lot of money off the video game rights to these games right now, if Nintendo came in perhaps they could grab non-LEGO/Disney Infinity/smartphone rights to those particular IP. 

I didn't mean copy the games exactly. I meant just make their own games that are similar or from the same franchise, so games that directly compete with the ones Nintendo would have.

It's an issue, but making games of Nintendo quality is not so easy ... no one as made a Bond game quite like GoldenEye on the N64 for example. Nintendo just fosters an environment condusive to high quality end products. 

Beyond that though perhaps Disney would not shoot down the idea of exclusivity over certain Marvel IP. No one is making an Avengers or Guardians game right now and Disney opted to basically shut down most of their game divisions. Might as well make money off those IP ... the deal could stipulate that Disney is still free to license out those characters in things like LEGO and Disney Infinity titles, but the actual movie adaptations on home console could be exclusive to Nintendo for X amount of years. 

Nintendo may have to pay a pretty penny, but in the end I think it would be worth it.
