Is Nintendo even able or willing to surprise anymore?

Halo as we know it (before he was bought away from Apple) therefore making it first party. Regardless of whatever time the teams left it will always be first party. Heavenly Sword is a first party IP, but I see your point that Ninja Theory was never owned by Sony.

Super Smash Bros will be made by Namco but it will still be a first party game for Nintendo.

Okay, I have to admit that I'm curious. What criteria are you using for a game to be considered first party?

LOL...First party is first party. Its a game made by the company themselves or a subsidiary that they own.

Time for adjustments I guess.

I called it!

First party is such a tricky thing, especially when a company wants to expand.
