Nintendo Plans to Acquire Game Developers

Acquiring Game Studios and Expanding Content Production: Nintendo’s New Strategy

In a recent financial report to investors, Nintendo outlined plans to strengthen its business through several key strategies. These include acquiring game development studios to operate as subsidiaries—similar to their acquisition of Retro Studios for Metroid Prime 4—enhancing internal development, creating entertainment content beyond games, and exploring new ways to engage with players. Nintendo has expressed interest in expanding its game development spaces and, for the first time, explicitly stated its intention to acquire additional studios. While Nintendo has not disclosed the specific targets, the company is considering investments in developers with whom they already have existing partnerships. Furthermore, Nintendo aims to increase its production of movies and videos, potentially through the acquisition of a video production company. They are also collaborating with DeNA to explore opportunities related to Nintendo’s properties.
