Of course, that's true. I'm not saying that Nintendo doesn't involve themselves in the development process; what I'm saying is that these companies are not Nintendo. Even Intelligent Systems is not exactly Nintendo. EAD, now, that's Nintendo.

Well ... Sort of ...

What a lot of people consider to be "Nintendo" is actually Nintendo's First Party and Second Party developers; most of these developers have close working relationships with Nintendo, are partially owned and managed by Nintendo, and Nintendo has a vested interest in ensuring that the quality of these games is (reasonably) high.
