Cancelled ZombiU 2 would have introduced co-op

Why didn't Nintendo just buy the IP? It was taylormade for the Wii U and the Gamepad, it wouldn't work in other systems, and if you take away the tablet controller, it would be undistinguishable in the sea of zombie games we have. I'm sure Ubisoft wouldn't have cared either.

The ip wasn't worth buying.

Even if Nintendo wanted their own zombie game they could have just made a brand new ip themselves and it may well have been better as well.

That and they already have two (or maybe 1.5) horror IPs they don't do enough with. Eternal Darkness under a motivated team like Retro or any number of developers out there with Nintendo's guidance could be stellar, not to mention their nebulous ownership of Fatal Frame which goes wasted because they won't release any of the games outside of Japan besides what appeared to be  a AR experiement.
