Think Nintendo will acquire any studios in the near future?

They have a presentation soon just announced. What if Nintendo bought them, and funded an HD 3d ShovelKnight game (Yooka Laylee shows how cool that character can look in modern visuals).

As far as who I'd like them to buy:

Bethesda - Would enable them to have MUCH stronger western game feel.

....Somehow I am pretty sure that if Nintendo bought Bethesda and made them only Nintendo and mobile (and let's be honest, that is what would happen) that the internet would probably go nuts. 

Just imagine it: no more PC Fallout or Elder Scrolls. 

I am pretty sure that is 'darkest timeline' material for many people.

Abed's darkest timeline, really? Are Jeff and Any FINALLY together in this timeline?

And yeah I know it may sound crazy, but think about the one thing Nintendo is lacking; a major studio that pumps out western game after western game after western game. Not Retro Studios (one game every 5 years) pace, but something at least every year. They could spend decades trying to build a new western studio up to do that, potentially wasting tons of money, or they could just buy a major western studio. Disney buying Lucasfilm and Marvel has led to a TOOOON of profit for them. The Fox acquisition, while it isn't great right now, probably will lead to a bucketload of profit too. Why can't Nintendo do the same thing in the video game industry?

The same argument could be made for Microsoft buying Konami or SEGA or some other Japanese studio in order to bolster their sales in Asian markets.
