Well, I didn't necessarily forget it. I just haven't played it, ever. But I made a list of IPs from which Nintendo could profit at the beginning of this thread (I think).
Find yourself a Dreamcast and a copy of the game. Trust me It's amazing >_<

Nintendo is also strained to produce their own games, let alone more IPs. It wouldn't make sense for them to acquire IPs without hiring more dev teams to actually do that work.

Not necessarily. I'm not saying help them financially. I'm saying buy off some of their IPs, or all of them. Of course, not all of the games are worth acquiring. But even if they buy the companies, they can sell off some of the rights for the franchises they don't want.
Heck, I'm not even saying they should buy the companies outright, but if SEGA and Capcom are struggling, why not buy some of the IPs?

Of course they need more developers, but those could be acquired from their former companies. I see and hear and read about people complaining that Nintendo milk their IPs too much, so this is a perfect way to diversify the ol' portfolio.
Because Nintendo wants to make money. They're not going to buy some IP, only to spend more to make it profitable and then making meager profits on it. The risk can't be too big with this

Those people are stupid and Nintendo shouldn't listen to stupid people. The Pokemon Company controls those games and games like Mario Kart, Animal crossing, Smash Bros, 3D Mario, Metroid, and Zelda only come out once in a generation. If that's milking, then pouring a bowl of of cereal makes me a milkmaid -_-

So put the Proverbial final Nail in their coffin? I know that they have others IPs and some have been neglected for awhile but just saying.

Sure. Back in the day, I loved Capcom and SEGA, but they suck now. And if they can't sell games, if they can't make good software, then maybe they should be bought out. I mean, seriously, when was the last time you played a good SEGA game? Years? Let them die, painlessly, mind you, but let them die.

Monster Hunter is an excellent game if you silly people would just play it...
Edit: My joke was much deserved. Monster Hunter has preformed poorly in NA despite being a perfectly good game by all accounts. It's just a little Japanese-themed. And I'm white myself, it's not like I'm poking fun of groups other than my own. Just like I criticize how stupid male-oriented fan service is.
Nintendo really needs to go after Sonic, that series is utterly floundering under SEGA's incompetence and I don't think I can trust anyone but Nintendo to redeem the series.
Again, outside of nostalgia, why does Nintendo need to save an IP with a bad name for exorbitant amounts of cash? Why not just create a new IP or a Mario spinoff with similar gameplay? That's so much cheaper.
I'm not sure nostalgia has anything to do with it. It's a recognizable brand, and it has seen better days. If the gaming arm of Sega-SAMMY does go under, and the IPs go up for sale, Nintendo should jump all over it.
I have been, and still am, a supporter of Nintendo acquiring IPs that are in need of either reviving or saving. Sonic needs saving. A game like PSO needs reviving. Nintendo could acquire the IPs and do great things with them. Just saying...
This. Sonic is a major gaming mascot that at one point went toe to toe with Mario. He has more brand power than whatever Nintendo could come up with as a replacement.
Again, Nintendo needs the manpower too. This costs more money for Nintendo, taking away potential profits for them, or they might just abandon the IP if it doesn't sell well.
I don't think it'll just be a simple miracle if they take an IP.
