Actually, Nintendo bought Namco in 2008, but stupid japanese government didn't allow the transaction to be completed. So, nintendo got monolith instead (great deal, but monolith + namco would be overkill).

I genuinely did not know that. Huh. What's the story behind it?

Nintendo was trying to purchase Namco. They had everything worked out to do so, but because that would give them a Monopoly, it was against the law and the government stepped in. So instead Namco decided to just give Nintendo Monolith Soft instead.
