It would help diversify their IPs but Nintendo already have more IPS than they can feasibly develop regularly so I don't really see the boon for Nintendo.

Just the act of buying Capcom would be game changing.

That probably wouldn't be a worthwhile purchase for Nintendo.

It would make more sense for MS or Sony to buy Capcom. But I don't believe Capcom is in a position where it needs to be sold.

Have you seen their business decision as of lately? >.>


Monster Hunter 4, Dead Rising 3, and more Street Fighter IV? Those seem like okay decisions.

Capcom apparently made enough good decisions to help cover some bad ones.

you do realize that Capcom held the second best selling 3DS game in Japan in 2013 right? Infact, it was the second best selling game in Japan over all. IT was also 11th for global over all and it was only in one region (Going by individual sales per platform of course).  So I am pretty sure that spells out "Very worth it to buy".

I hope so, and they should. Also, it's possible since Nintendo wants to buy and Capcom wants to sell. I wouldn't doubt this has been in the works for some time, since Nintendo announced that buy-back some time ago. Nintendo needs Monster Hunter on its handhelds, and they need more content - especially mature content - on its home consoles. Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Dead Rising, Lost Planet, etc, would compliment Nintendo's current lineup and bring with it dedicated fans to expand the Wii U (and beyond) user base. Classic titles like Mega Man, etc could also be milked by nostalgia-savy Nintendo. It would be a great fit.


Nintendo wants to buy Capcom-  have they stated that in the past or is there reasonably reliable information to that effect out there in the news somewhere?

That would be good but I doubt they will.
