Is Nintendo even remotely interested in being purchased?
They've existed since 1889. They pretty much decided to stop following the industry and just keep doing their own thing back when the wii came out.
Something in me doubts they are strapped for cash. They own Mario, Pokemon, and a lot more. And you don't make ridiculous consoles unless you're in a position to gamble.
The IPs alone are gold let alone the games they make. Pokemon imo has been subpar for a while and it still prints money. Yea i dont see them selling anytime soon.
Worth more than gold. Pokemon is the single highest grossing IP of ALL TIME

Pokémon? With the poké and the mon? https://youtu.be/_kUG-YDcLuw
I guess that clip is a little dark now that we know what Bill Cosby did to women. And we don’t even know what happened to Mortimer Ichabod Marker.
Interesting list. Supprised Lego is so low.
For media. I thought the highest grossing general IP was Hello Kitty.
Maybe, I found this image saying it's still above Hello Kitty, but not sure about the validity - https://imgur.com/ZEORgkV
