Very good move, secure a strong partner, doesn't take anything away from multiplatform and can also have more financing to get them to make even better games.

Indeed. Though you wouldn't think their budgets were short before this looking at LM3. Maybe they will receive more funds to expand the team or create a new team to make more games or games quicker. I hope Nintendo let's them work with other ips that no longer have yes working on them. They are a talented enough studio that I would prefer they use their time on AAA experiences rather than low budget games going forward.

Well I would say Insomniac also didn't seem to have issues to make big budget game, but still they needed Sony or in one case MS to finance their game. So perhaps with Nintendo having a direct seat on the company they can have even better financing and grow. But even if they don't need it it is good to secure the dev and avoid any purchase by competitor or similar. Also agree that it would be cool to see more dormant IPs getting a new entry than an IP that had a more recent one.
