From a business POV that would be very stupid to be honest. Theme parks are massively expensive. The new Disney park in Shanghai will cost almost $4.6 billion to make. 

Given the choice between a Disney or Universal park and a Nintendo one, most people would probably choose Disney or Universal too. 

Whereas working with Universal, Universal is actually probably the one paying Nintendo to do this. So that's a win-win. 

Well, Disney wouldn't ever make the Shanghai theme park if it wasn't going to be profitable. So although it's expensive, thme parks eventually do become profitable. 

Disney theme parks are about more than just profit, they are a marketting division intended to maintain/boost their family image which they have spent the better part of a century careful grooming. I don't like disney, but nintendo are not in the same league as them, they aren't the huge bastards with the cutthroat mentality that disney has ingrained from being led by an utter bastard for half a century.
