You make good points but Nintendo is such an iconic Japanese brand, it seems like their government would get involved if they were in dire straights.

As a Nintendo baby, it'd be a dark day if some conglomerate bought them.

I was just thinking though, if they needed money they could easily raise crazy amounts of cash from their fanbase via crowdfunding.

Their central bank is already buying Nintendo stock and is the largest shareholder in Japan, I think.
