No we are not talking Epic or Bungie or Irrational or anything like that.

 

I am talking a dev at a decent size can help with console development like Retro and even assist on others.

Also can be some smaller teams for handheld as well.

 

For me I would like them to get Shin'en for they can take Fast Racing and turn it into a bigger project this way and maybe Retail as a F-Zero game. heck maybe they can bring back StarFox.

 

Next Level Games small but can do a lot of work for 3DS.

 

Next might be a bit iffy as they have yet to really prove themselves but niether did Retro before getting bought.

Redbutton. When retro was bough they were former Iguana guys. Turok-Turok 2. Redbutton form ND guys but mainly the guys from the PS1 PS2 era.

 

Retro could maybe esp benefit from Redbutton and vice versa as two studio's in the west working together. New IP's or old.

 

I know a couple of these are exclusive to Nintendo anyway but that's not really the point. Point would be they could do so much more with Nintendo under thier wing. Retro as the main example. In Japan look at Monolith.

Next Level Games or Monster Games seem like good choices. 

[Mignaga]

I would love to see another first party studio for Nintendo, especially a Western one. 

 

Also, I feel like Shin'en would be a wasted purchase since they already make games almost exclusively for Nintendo systems anyways, but that's just me.

[Ghost]

I would like them to go for a few indies devs and see if they can mash them together. That way we can have unique games with good graphics and story.

[SailtheSeas]

Avalanche studios.

[Hunter]

Redbutton would be cool I think, but we'll wait and see how the new Sonic turns out.

[Nollog]

They could buy Naughty Dog and re-hire all the people Sony fired/couldn't afford to keep paying.

I thought Nintendo already owned Next Level Games?

 

Also, yes, they should buy Avalanche Studios - just for Just Cause.

But for how much longer will this happen?

I dont think they own them but Next level came out earlier this year and said how happy they are with Nintendo and they will only make games for them.

To answer the OP question though yes i want Nintendo to buy other wester devs they need them for Ip's their bigger devs dont want to make anymore (f-zero, wave race, starfox). I thought they should have bought HVS makers of the conduit. Groom them and make them your "GUERILLA GAMES" and open your ip's up a bit with some first person shooters.

No that's not the point they will make games for Nintendo fo maybe ever ever but under Nintendo's roof they get more support and budgets and leadership. So Fast Racing could be a full retail game or Next Level would be able to do more on 3DS and maybe even WiiU Eshop

I hear you but I dont think Nintendo would ask if they did not have the funding to handle the games. Also nintendo games are not big budget games so The marios (3d), Zelda, Smash, and metroid or the only ones really getting the big budget, and maybe MK8.

Didn't say massive budget just a lot more than what their budgets allow them to do now.

Does nintendo not help with the budget when they are developing a game for them. I am sure everything is not coming out of their pocket... right?

If it's Luigi's Mansion yes. Fast Racing or Jet Rocket no.

true.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Renegade Kid could be an idea.

[lucario23]

I just want them to expand Retro to where it is the size of EAD and is working on 3-4 western games at a time. It would be a slow process, but that is where I'd like to see them end up.

[Scumbag]

Some more western devs wouldn't hurt but the way I see it is: Japanese developers>>>>>>Western developers.

[Raiden]

Depends. I just prefer more Japanese games than western however just many Japanese companies making the same mistakes western ones are now.

 

Topic is just to give Nintendo more presence in the west. Not like Retro feels worse because it's not Japan.

I guess you can say you don't want any irrational answers!






I'll leave now.
