Nintendo does have ties to Nvidia too though, I don't think the transition would be all that much of a big deal. 

Sudha Sudharsanan is the head of Nintendo's technology development division.

Guess which company he's a former employee of? Nvidia.

Bob Feldstein is the person at Nvidia in charge of GPU licensing.

Wanna know what he did before that? He was VP of AMD's console business. Nintendo would know him well from his AMD days, so working with Nvidia is likely very easy for Nintendo.

I thought I heard this posted too (but this I can't verify) that the Nvidia person unveiling the Tegra Pascal (X2) stuff at the Hot Chips conference was one of the main designers on the GameCube back in the day. 

A lot of AMD/ATi staff are now at Nvidia.
