Is Metroid: The Other M Considered First-Party or Third-Party?

[PullusPardus]

its called "Second Party"

here is how it is so you can understand
First Party = Me
Second Party = We
Third Party = They

Second Party is like how Insomniac + Sony work on Ratchet And Clank
Third party is how Sega worked on Madworld without the aid of Nintendo
First Party is in house its by Nintendo and only nintendo

hope that clears it up
