shin'en is a very small studio though, while ninty could easily buy them they probably don't have the ressources to make a fully fledged f-zero game
also they're germans so there probably is a limit to what nintendo can do to help them out ressource-wise without having them just expand the company
on the german aspect i think that's actually where Nintendo's EU headquarters is now

Wouldn't be the first third party studio to make a first party game, they just give them the rights and what not
but it's not something they do often
