Studios like Capcom are well past their prime and don't have much to offer. Nintendo already has exclusivity over Monster Hunter, the only other two franchises that Capcom really has of note (sales wise) is Resident Evil and Street Fighter, and both of those are tired and old IP. Nintendo had RE exclusivity during the GameCube too and it didn't do sh*t for sales, the main fanbase of that IP is on the Playstation and they're not going to buy a Nintendo system just for Resident Evil.
Nintendo will never rubber stamp a massive expansion of their dev studios either. They don't want to be much bigger than what they are now.
I'd say it would be smarter to add a 150-ish person team in the US and one more 150 person team in Europe. Also continue to work with Platinum Games and Next Level Games.
I'd also buy the Bayonetta IP outright. Yes it's never going to be a huge seller, but it's something they can at least build with.
I'd buy rights to the Bond IP too or at least for some console exclusives (maybe a clause that Bond FPS can only be on Nintendo systems).

The Bond IP would be really smart.
