Why does it smell funny to you? The philosophy sounds good to me.

The philosophy sounds all well and good...I just don't think Nintendo actually adheres to it. We already know that Miyamoto interjected himself into second-party games like Starfox Adventures and Metroid Prime (usually for the better, of course), which tells me that Nintendo's second parties likely have a much shorter leash than their competitors' counterparts.

 

 

retro is 1st party.

They're owned by nintendo and they're not allowed to make games for other consoles, nothing about them is 2nd party.

Technically you're right, but many who observe Nintendo tend to regard them as 2nd party, merely to differentiate them from the EAD Groups, who are called 1st-party
