I agree and already advanced this theory in the other thread. I think NoA wants to give parents the assurance that then they pick up a Nintendo branded game it's one the whole family can enjoy.

And actually, I'm fine with that.

However, if that's the case then I would appreciate it, and as a fan, expect that they allow someone else to publish those same titles (like Temco or Sega) instead of just sitting on the publishing rights.

That may be true, but it's very unfortunate.  Regardless if the game is Nintendo branded or not, the M rating will be clearly legible on the box.  They're letting parents off the hook if this truly is the case.

But really, Nintendo says it's Tecmo's IP and Tecmo says it's up to Nintendo to publish it.  Clearly someone is wrong here.

yea, Reggie said that it is up to Tecmo, and Tecmo said it is up to Nintendo. Obviously there are some communication problems going on somewhere.
