I'd rather see Nintendo buy studios. Buyouts or mergers are not needed.
What Nintendo really needs is western studios that can develop genres that western gamers love the most.
From a japanese point of view, Nintendo could buy Sega, Capcom or even Namco.
All of them still have important franchises that can are alive and well or that can be revamped.
From a western point of view, Nintendo needs a few good and big studios that can create new franchises in the shooter, racing, open world, sports genre to help replace the lack of 3rd parties.
