they should buy a few studios, true.

that being said, nintendo is VERY perculier about aquisitions, which is a good thing, but means that it does take forever to finally do it. they want to make sure the devs are basically OK in this change, basically. they want to ensure they get what they are buying entirely, no tjust the francises, but also, (actually, more importantly) the devs. and this is not easy.

The reason is that you can buy a studio but it doesn't mean that you retain the talent there which is why Nintendo prefer to work closely with a studio long before buying them or just build them from the ground up.
