Yea but will those help Nintendo though? I highly doubt a significant amount of people will buy a wiiU for Megaman, DMC, Ace Attorney or even DR really as well as BoF, BC, VJ and LP. Their biggest sellers that can sell systems are really, MH but only in Japan, SF and RE which has gone down in quality and sales significantly. Oh and lets not forget that just because Nintendo owns capcom does not mean that Capcom will shit out gold in terms of game quality.

And honestly, now that I am thinking about it, how is buying Capcom supposed to help the wiiU? Buying companies takes quite a while and getting the company that you bought making games for the system they previously had no interest in also takes a while... So at its best, it will help Nintendo's next console

First - The purchase itself would create a media buzz.

Second - HD remake of Capcom fanchise for short term impact on WiiU.

Third - Announce at E3 that capcom is working on next Resident Evil for WiiU and Monster Hunter 4 WiiU.

Fourth - Nintendo needs a company that will compliment their Nintendo development. Capcom already making good game for Nintendo on the 3DS. They need to insure that capcom would be working on WiiU games. Sure, the immidiate future they can't just cancel contract with Sony and games that are almost completed on Xbox One and PS4 but they could have ports to WiiU. Capcom AAA titles for WiiU would only release in late 2016.

This is all just fan fiction.... there is a very low chance of Capcom being acquired by Nintendo.

Well, I really don't think RE will have that much of an impact considering their recent games. RE6 was laughable, RE:Rev was good but not great and we don't really know if their next one will even hold true to the promises that Capcom made considering Capcom made promises in the past which they didn't deliver on them at all. And MH will only get Japanese people excited and no one else really. If SF becomes exclusive, that will probably make a nice impact but both SF (if Sony didn't make that deal) and MH can be secured by money that is far less expensive for Nintendo than actually buying most of the company and waiting years to see a return. And once they sign that contract, I doubt that Capcom can go back on it.

And yea, Media Buzz and short term impact but really, Nintendo has been getting some positive buzz in the last year since MK8 and hasn't really done much with the wiiU

And again, really, the only game that Capcom is working on is MH for Nintendo and again, secured by money. Also, most of Capcom's IPs have gone down in quality since their previous itterations and buying a Company that has ruined several of its franchises is not something I want Nintendo to go into. Sure, they can implement some Quailty Control but in the end, they will just lose even more money. And I highly doubt Sony is willing to bid on MH cause if they were, they would have done so by now imo.

And yea, I know its all fiction but I don't think in this fiction scenario, Capcom will help Nintendo much at all. But thats just my opinion on the matter
