At last... some sign of ol' Mr. Scrooge spending a bit of money.
Nintendo are famed for hauling money, bar the Q fund they rarely spend masses ammount of money. Most of the profits from Pokemon and the sale of Rareware have been hidden from view... in fact Nintendo are VERY reluctant to spend their money. Which is why fear of them falling is very premature.
But Nintendo have reported their desire to aquire key technologies for the future. This doesn't mean odd final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid deals... this means the aquisiton of ENTIRE companies.
Hardware AND software companies. So troubled developers like Capcom could well be under Nintendo's gaze.
Either way we should see the fruits of Nintendo's fight back occur in the next few months.

At the moment it seems like Non-spendo. :-P
Seems like there must be big deal on the horizon, though.

It'd be great if they bought out Ubi Soft. Imagine exclusive Splinter Cell 3 and Rainbow Six 4 oooooh.
I'd like to see Nintendo buy Factor 5 and have them develop their Turrican game, although I have the sneaking suspicion that it was turned into Metroid Prime anyway...

Sounds like a topic to keep an eye out for...
They'd certainly do well to buy some top third party developers. As long as they don't buy out Ubisoft though!
