| trestres said: Nintendo makes games, obviously. They have their own 1st party studios, like EAD, SPD, NST, etc all which make SW and help make the HW sometimes, so Nintendo does make games. Also, not everything published by a company means they own the rights, for example Nintendo doesn't make Fatal Frame nor own the franchise, they just published it. |
Nintendo create/buy studios to make games. While they are owned by Nintendo, they can be thought of as semi-independent. 'Nintendo' in a general term describes all of these. What I meant with that though, was, Nintendo isn't a developer though it owns developing studios. As long as a game is published as well as owned by Nintendo, though, it is First Party and therefore it could be considered, "made" by Nintendo.
As for your second point, I didn't realize somebody mentioned that every game published by a company was owned by them.
