What '3rd party partnerships' is Nintendo developing?

I really don't think acquiring Capcom would be that big of a game changer. They have three major IP -- Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, and Resident Evil.

Nintendo already has Monster Hunter. Street Fighter has a deal with Sony. That leaves Resident Evil, which quite frankly is a tired franchise in a lot of ways and Nintendo's had RE exclusivity before and it didn't really sell that great on the GameCube.

Using the Marvel analogy, why not just take that further ... perhaps a deal with Disney that lets Nintendo make games based on Marvel properties for say 5-10 years? That would be big and more relevant to the modern audience.

While what you said about Capcom is true they have a lot of old unused IPS AND did a fair bit to create new IPs last gen (with varying degress of success... and failure). I think the case of Nintendo buying Capcom is plausible because Capcom would currently be at their lowest financially and thus cheapest.

A Disney partnership would be amazing. Mickey games for the kids (and maybe a grittier Epic Mickey like the way it was supposed to be), Star Wars games, Marvel games like the Batman Arkham games. Will never happen but a man can dream.
