I think it's time for Nintendo to invest in new development teams

Much as i would love to say Nintendo should buy Namco and/or Capcom, i think their best course of action would be to invest in a European developer to try and get a better foothold into Europe. They still haven't replaced RARE and i think it would be a good investment to try and buy all or part of the team that made Snipperclips (Their name escapes me rn.). A lot of potential there. Also, if they haven't done already, buy a controlling stake in gamefreak.

As for old franchises, it depends how far you want to go back. Personally i would love a brand new Earthbound, Excite truck and "Wars". Also, Star tropics looks interesting. For different reasons i think some of these would be impossible though but there are loads of old franchises i would like to see return, practically all of them! (Wave race, pilotwings, F-Zero, etc. etc.)

Easier said than done. If Tajiri was willing to sell I expect Nintendo would have already done so. If he isn't willing to sell though... there isn't a thing they can do.

Makes total sense to me as well. Far too many game devs are happy to sell out as soon as an offer comes in, I'm glad he's got the desire to remain independent.

Afaik, Nintendo used to have a controlling stake in GF but sold some of their shares.  I would say it would be a good idea to buy more again so they had the controlling stake again.
