Nintendo Doesn't Want to Buy Any Giant Publishers
"Nintendo will always stay Nintendo. The company has always relied on first-party games, and I don't see any reason why they should change. Our brand was built upon products crafted with dedication by our employees, and having a large number of people who don't possess Nintendo DNA in our group would not be a plus to the company," Furukawa told Bloomberg.
Nintendo purchased developer Next Level Games last year for an undisclosed amount of money. The deal was a smart one for both parties. After all, Nintendo and the small, Vancouver-based studio had established a close partnership over several years, with Next Level Games having developed titles such as Super Mario Strikers, Punch-Out!!, and Luigi's Mansion 3. That last game in particular has been a massive success on Nintendo Switch; during the company's latest sales briefing, Nintendo revealed that Luigi's Mansion 3 has sold more than 11 million copies.
If Nintendo is going to make any future acquisitions, fans can expect them to be on a scale similar to Next Level Games, as opposed to a giant like Activision Blizzard or Bethesda. It makes much more sense for how the company operates. Nintendo certainly has the money to spend, but the company has a very specific style when it comes to games that it publishes, and it would be hard to force a large, established company to fit that style. At the end of the day, it makes more sense for Nintendo to keep doing what it does best!
