Why the SRD Acquisition Is Bigger Than You Think

This definitely makes a lot of sense, but I don’t see it happening until the consolidation in Japan starts. The second Sony buys a company like Square Enix, Nintendo will definitely try to gather up these companies.

Platinum is begging for Microsoft to buy them but they do make their best games with Nintendo, so ideally that would benefit both parties. The Pokémon Company can really run amok when it comes to the quality of their products, and Game Freak has previously released games on different platforms. It would be in Nintendos best interests to ensure they work with all these companies going forward, but like I said, I don’t think they’re going to pull anything until one of the other big 2 make the first move. Nintendo better hope Game Freak or Creatures aren’t the first to be purchased.

Wrong. They're saying the exact opposite of that. Just because Kamiya (who's not in charge) says he wants to work on Scalebound again and Okami again with MS and Capcom doesn't mean he wants them to buy them. What you sais is a false narrative created by fans who don't know how to read what they actually said.  They mentioned only be open to talks if they could still remain independent like Atlus with SEGA or Bungie with Sony but they do not have the clout to demand that. They know this, which means they said in a polite and elaborate way. We're not looking to be bought.
