I just had a thought... could Game Arts be the company contracted to co-develop The Last Story?  They've already worked closely with Nintendo before on Smash Brawl, they have tons of RPG experience with Lunar/Grandia, they make top notch gorgeous engines and they don;t seem to have any big projects lined up at the moments (just downloadables and another 2D Lunar remake)?  Thoughts?   Would it be a good match for Nintendo & Mistwalker's epic RPG?

The game is practically already done, Nintendo most likely developed it themselves under MW's direction, TLS has been in development for a while.

Which part of Nintendo then?  Honestly, it doesn't seem like anything the internal EAD/SPD groups would do... the way I can see this happening is if it's one of their subsidiaries or invested developers, like Monolith (who's busy with Xenoblade), Genius Sonority, Brownie Brown (busy working for L5/MMV), NdCube, etc.
