I don't think that's possible at all, or lucrative. They absolutely should expand, though. They need to have an entire branch of studios and devs in the west dedicated to making new IP that appeal to the people here.
And they need to outsource more of their IP. Smash Bros, Nintendo's most important title of 2014, was outsourced to Capcom. They need to start pumping these titles out quicker, and if they don't have enough staff available, they need to hire them. Quality isn't an argument. If they hire competent directors and producers, that won't be an issue.
I think it would be a great idea if they also started funding indie game 3D sequels. Say Nintendo funded a Shovel Knight 64, Retro City 64, Ghost Song in 3D, and Hyper Light Drifer in 3D, in exchange for exclusivity of those titles. They provide extra staff, but all the creator keep creative control. It would give indie game ideas a published game's budget, which could be huge for those devs, and be great PR for Nintendo. Sony already did something similar with Journey. Nintendo should do the same.
