Wish Nintendo would make a bold moved and pick up a major Japanese third party through buy out. I think Capcom would be perfect with all their IPs and they could even leave their games on PC and mobile while moving everything else to Switch after last games in development for MS and Sony are released.

I don't think Capcom would go for that since 66% of their software shipments are for PS4 which has a huge fanbase on that platform. Also with the new direction Capcom has taken with Monster Hunter (World) the Switch would struggle to handle that game and any future sequel for it.

I was thinking they could still pump DLC or new Monster Hunter World for PC but start making a console specific MH game for Switch.  Now that I think about it might not be best match for Nintendo.  I just wanted to see more content pushed out on Switch from top tier IPs.  Who is to say any talent would stay with studio when bought.  It could be a Rare situation where most Rare employees left when Microsoft bought them out then Microsoft was left with some IPs but no talent to produce those IPs. 

I suppose the best way is for Nintendo to just establish more studios themselves.  They have a ton of neglected IPs that they could have the new studios work on till they get their feet wet.  Put them on a new F-Zero, Excitebike or truck, 1080, Wave Race, Advance Wars, Earthbound, etc with a few vets overlooking the projects.  That way they can have more AA games to fill in dates while waiting their big AAA releases.
