Any word if Nintendo:
1) Will have some of their smaller developers collaborate together on larger scale projects. Several of their smaller Japanese developers are past Square-Enix and Sega employees that worked on the Mana, Chrono Trigger, Shining, Super Mario RPG, and Dragon Quest series. They are probably too small to work on large scale projects like those on their own, but maybe if they were partnered, it would be possible. We have already seen some evidence of this with Vanpool and Good Feel assisting Alpha Dream on various Mario & Luigi titles.
2) Is looking to licence IPs from third parties and let some of their contract developers who have had pervious experience with them work on them. Some examples would be Good Feel (Castlevania, Goemon, Contra), Arzest or Prope (Sonic), Valhalla Game Studios (Ninja Gaiden, Rygar), Inticreates (Megaman), Grezzo (Mana), NDCube (Hudson IPs), etc.
