I think you are right, but I see it heading to first party soon in a very Xenoblade-like manner.

I thought Xenoblade was separate from Xenosaga (what Monolith Soft made before being bought by Nintendo).

I just checked this, and found that Monolith was bought by Nintendo earlier than I thought.  My fault. 


Still wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo bought either Platinum games or the Bayonetta IP though.

Even after the failure of Star Fox Zero?

This is the sort of thing that shows Platinum and Nintendo already have a close working relationship.  Even if Star Fox Zero flopped, Nintendo seems interested in keeping Bayonetta.  Also, I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't mind the Nier franchise becoming an exclusive on their platform either.

If they don't buy Platinum games, then they might try to make them an "unofficial" first party like HAL.

None of Nintendo's IP's will ever be M-rated, the closest we are going to get are games like Eternal Darkness or Bayonetta

What does Bayonetta have to do to be considered Nintendo IP at this point? Do they have to buy Platinum Games?

Bayonetta is a Sega IP, they'd have to either buy Sega, or the IP from Sega.

No thanks. Don't need "maturity" in my videogames. That's one of the main reasons I prefer Nintendo. Particularly the games listed in the poll need to remain T at best. It just doesn't serve any purpose for them to add ultra violence, sexual themes, or excessive drug use.

Doesn't Nintendo own/share the rights to Fatal Frame or something? Does that count?

If the definition of ‘mature’ is the M-rating, then I guess Metroid could pull it off. Could be a survival-horror game or something.

Metroid, but Zelda would benefit the most. An M rated Zelda would be a much, much better game.

Bayonetta is owned by Sega and Platinum.

It should but like the existence of ghosts the whole thing is very vague.
