What can Disney possibly stand to gain? The audience Nintendo has? Disney already has them.

More intellectual properties? Yea Disney has a lot, but Nintendo has some of the most recognizable and something Disney would surely want.

The thing about Disney and Nintendo is both of their products appeal to both everyone. Surely Disney haven't proven themselves in the video game space, why wouldn't they want the company who many people consider the Disney of gaming?

First point: who are they going to sell to?  Many - probably 40% - of the same people who buy Mario Kart 8 buy Frozen stuff.  The audiencne is mostly made up of the same people: parents and preteens(who still behave like children and aren't obsessed with violence).

I think you're on to something with your second point but in respose you kinda mentioned it yourself.  Nintendo is the Disney of games and Disney is the Disney.  The money Mario makes comes from the same purse as Toy Story's money.
