I'm pretty sure sillicon knights is not owned by nintindo..

 

Correct, though SK was 2nd party for Nintendo during the GC, at least at the time of Eternal Darkness, which means that the IP was a Nintendo IP that SK was put on for development. Sort of like how Retro makes Metroid Prime, but Nintendo owns the IP

Nintendo also owned a (minority) stake in SK back then.  Nintendo owns Retro 100% though, they're as much "Nintendo" as Naughty Dog or Polyphony are "Sony".

True, Im just talking about the time point of the original Metroid Prime. Nintendo didnt buy them up right away, not until they started having financial hardships

Yeah, they bought them partway through Prime 1's development.  Nintendo fronted the capital to start them up though.
