I guess you can't expect Ninty to reveal who these 'mystery' outside teams are until E3 2012; probably when their next gen console will be revealed.
They sure know how to encourage speculation.......by not encouraging speculation lol As to who these people are, I'd venture a guess at a few things:
One, is their hardware provider. From my basic understanding, Nintendo makes their own proprietary devices. Maybe someone else will assist in that process.
Two, is mostly small (probably one large) Japanese devs. I cannot imagine Nintendo getting much support from American teams, but I can imagine a few European guys/girls coming eventually. But for now, I'd presume they are starting with some Japanese devs/publishers first.
In order to alleviate some software droughts, they need some more 'players'; not by adding more to the Ninty workforce, but by signing lucrative contracts with outside teams. That way, IPs you never hear of and a few new ones are more likely to be worked on, in quicker fashion.
