Endless Ocean is 2nd party, as its published by Nintendo. This means it was developed by a third party, however, so perhaps you could argue this one.

But Disaster:DoC is straight out first party now. Developed by Monolith, a subsidiary of Nintendo, and published by Nintendo.

Bleh, could have sworn that one was third party.....oh well, got any others you can think of that I should ADD?

As for endless ocean...the line people always use is "3rd party devs" so if the dev is 3rd party the game is 3rd party imo. I'm kind of anti-2nd party in terms of terminology =P

 

no its first party

 Yeah I doubled checked before responding to Bod, DDoC is definitely 1st party.  But really that just means it should be a fantastic game if it is forced to live up to the Nintendo Seal of Quality.  And really I have to say I would prefer the gaming industry if all games were forced to do so...but a lot of shovelware publishers would choke and die if that happened =P
