Obviously Japan will get it first, it's being made by a Japanese developer, whereas the Prime ones were being made by Retro, a Western developer. Hence why we got those games first, before Japan. Now it's simply the other way around, I see no reason why we'd get Other M before Japan.

Spirit Tracks was made by a Japanese developer and was released in the west first.

NSMBWii was made by a Japanese developer and was releasedin the west first.

Yeah and they were both 1st party games.

So is Metroid Other M a 4th party game? I mean, it is Nintendo + Team Ninja

I'd call it a 3rd party game, albeit using a 1st party IP, seeing how it's being developed by a 3rd party developer. I doubt Nintendo has a lot to do with development, apart from overseeing the project. Then again, I could be wrong, haha, but that's my opinion on the game..

Ah well, we'll have to wait and see, it's just that I wouldn't be surprised, at all, if this game came out in Japan first and us Westerners wouldn't get out hands on it until Q3/Q4.
