The exact relationship between Nintendo and the various divisions that develop games for its consoles confuses me. I know that the EADs and Intelligent Systems are completely internal and 1st Party and I've always thought or Retro Studios as a 2nd party, owned studio analogous to Rare in the 90s.
But I don't understand the nature of Nintendo's relationship with Gamefreak or HAL. Can someone clear this up for me?
