Nintendo responds to Xenoblade's localization efforts (along with Monolithsoft, Mistwalker)

I don't understand how Nintendo operate... They regularly team up with external developers to make games in first party franchises (Punchout, F-Zero, Excite, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Strikers...), yet they aren't willing to cooperate with external publishers to publish first party titles? That just makes NO SENSE!

Didn't Iwata say something about working together with third parties to market Wii games in the future?
Maybe he meant working *like* third parties do on Wii... aka sucking balls!
