Suda 51 still without a Wii U dev kit

Grasshopper is a dev team, not a publisher right?
Ubisoft published NMH1... so in order to begin a game they have to be assigned one by a publisher.

This is not as bad as it sounds. Consider Suda51 a free agent right now. If he wants to make a game, he'll reach out to a pub willing to publish his game and get the dev kit. Nintendo doesn't just give em to every dev team alive.

And this is what Suda51 himself said in the interview:

 

Have you got hold of a Wii U development kit yet?

Not right now, no.

Is that something you are looking to get ahold of?

It’s hard to say. Maybe, maybe not. It’s really depending on publishers. We are developers, so it’s up to a publisher.

 

I think a lot of people are missing that point. Insteady, they see Suda51 does not have a DevKit and think Nintendo is all fouled up.

Maybe Nintendo should have different rules. Or maybe Nintendo should make an exception. That I could understand. But thikning Nintendo is not providing a DevKit just because it (as some reports have implied/suggested) is not the case here at all.
