“The single most likely bidder for Atlus in the … bankruptcy case is Nintendo. As a matter of fact, I’d like to suggest that a Nintendo-led acquisition of Atlus may actually have been in the works for some time. That’s because Nintendo has been working unusually closely with Atlus lately, treating them practically like an in-house studio. That may be because Atlus is about to become one.”

I do not think Nintendo will do this. Nintendo has worked closely with many japanese companies before Atlus. Like Capcom on a couple Zelda games, Namco Bandai with Super Smash bros 4, Pokemon X Nobunaga's ambition, and Capcom and Namco Bandai and Sega on ProjectXZone (Monolith Soft developed it, but they are Nintendo).

Bringing Atlus to Nintendo will radically change things. For the better imho

definitely a possibility; Atlus has been putting out more and more games for Nintendo systems, such as the Devil Survivor series, Soul Hackers, Etrian Odyssey, and now Shin Megami Tensei IV. Furthermore, I don't see Nintendo letting SMT x FE die. The thing is, pretty much EVERY Japanese pub has issues right now. CAPCOM just laid off staff (though it was from their American branch), SEGA has been having money troubles for awhile, Square Enix is a mess, Sony is on the brink of the PS4, etc and I doubt Western companies would even cast a second glance at Atlus.

I can only imagine the outrage if Nintendo does this. That said, I do not want SMT x FE cancelled.

Nintendo never do things people want them to do, if they were planning to help out atlus, they won't now.

I think this is something we all want. Atlus becoming an exclusive first or second party(?) would be great. A really good third party Japanese dev right there. Atlus may make niche games, but that would become an exclusive market only on Nintendo systems. Dang, that's exciting.
