i would like the marvelous entertainment games under the hood of nintendo.
a rune factory or little kings story with the budget, marketing and quality control of nintendo? yes please!

Bungie or Infinity Ward.

Just for the fun of seeing the internet explode.

No thanks. Nintendo neglects almost every studio they aquire, to the point of games bombing beyond belief (ExciteBots, Disaster, Fatal Frame 4, etc.)

Grasshopper is pretty good as well, i mean these guys are giving huge support with nintendo consoles and handhelds, you would think nintendo would brought shares from that company by now

Would be nice to see them do something like that, if it's a worthy developer. Then again, that kind of thing isn't really in Nintendo's nature. They're not Microsoft. They prefer doing things their way, and so far, they're doing pretty well, I'd say.

Chrizum, are you sure these are Nintendo acquired studios? I thought Nintendo were only the distributor for these titles, not the owner of the studios...

nintendo will not buy a thing , they can always start a new studio , but would be good nintendo taking over TECMO -once nintendo all ready one studio from tecmo- i think nintendo would buy a studio good at mature titles , cuz its something that nintedo does not like to work with

In case of you dont know the fact that FF4 outsells any other titles from the serie in japan ...

Still nintendo has its falts on game like Disaster and Excitebots , but remeber if this games are not here its cuz Reggie didnt want to ...

-Reggie i will kick your ass ... WHERE THE HELL IS MY FF4 ?

Tecmo (Fatal Frame) was not acquired, but Monster Games and Monolith are, I think. Regardless, the philosophy still stands. Nintendo has bought the Fatal Frame IP, and deliberately killed it. That's not what I'd call good support for third party franchises.

Bungie xD
