@mav-i-am Well first of all capcom is valued at 1.5 billion. To buy a company like that first Nintendo has to buy up enough stock to be a majority holder (hostile takeover) and an ok from the Japanese government. Then they have to buy it out while keeping all of capcons contracts in place i.e. Put money into ongoing projects for other platforms. It would cost an insane amount of money assuming capcom wants a buy out. If not they can fight and cost them even more. Capcom is to big. Altus would have been a good fit but sega beat them to it.
@faint Well to be fair, Nintendo aren't known for splashing their money around when it comes to buying developers. They seems worryingly content on what they have.

@FragRed I agree. They are way to conservative. Mainly I just wanted to answer the previous posters question. If they had to buy a company in a realistic way I would suggest marvelous personaly.

Buy INTO is what I said.
Switch games list,
Legend of Zelda BotW, Human resource machine, NBA Playgrounds, Street Fighter 2, Super Bomberman R, Snipperclips, Overcooked, World of Goo.
@mav-i-am so just be stock holders? What would the get out of that? Capcoms stock fluctuates a lot and it still wouldn't mean Nintendo platforms get any more exclusives than they already do unless they became a majority holder like they did with rare. It still won't be worth it.
I'd like to see Nintendo apply the RPG genre to more of their IP. e.g.
Kirby RPG in the style of Mario and Luigi
Star fox SRPG
Splatoon meets world ends with you gameplay
And so on
I think we've been well served with Mario RPG/adventures through recent entries in the paper Mario and Mario and luigi series. Time to give them a break in my opinion.
@mav-i-am for all we know Nintendo may actually have some capcom stock and that's why we keep getting monster hunter as an exclusive. Not saying that's the case but we wouldn't even know if it was.
@faint By becoming major share holders (which may not require a large % - who knows??) you gain a voice that has to be heard, which means we are more likely to get all Capcom games on Nintendo platforms.

Anything RPG really. I'm pumped about Xenoblade 2, and Octopath Travler. RPG, JRPG, SRPG, etc. Just give me an engaging story with good characters and I'm happy to empty my wallet. Also, a need for speed game would be nice.
@faint I'd be down for a breath of fire game with breath of the wild art style.
