is 2nd party even a proper term? arn't battalion wars, punchout wii, wario land shake it, mario strikers, golden sun eternal darkness all considered first party?

 

 

maybe 2nd party is when nintendo dont own the IP, kinda like fatal frame

Yeah it's a proper term. Second party is when it's made by a third party but published by a first. Even games made by Insomniac for Sony are second party.

I don't think that's what second party means.

1st party are all the studios owned by the HW manufacturer.
3rd party are all the studios that are completely unrelated to the HW manufacturer, as in they can publish and develop games for whatever console they want.

2nd party are studios that aren't owned by the HW manufacturer, but that exclusively develop games for 1 HW manufacturer. Example Insomniac for Sony or Camelot/Skip/Genius Sonority for Nintendo.
