Seriously, this "Nintendo doesn´t have good relations with third parties" talk is just bullshit

If that was true, we wouldn´t have so much shovelware for the Wii. Even Activision and EA made versions of their FPS for the Wii. And EVERY third party wanted and produced their games for the DS. Even Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty and Assassin Creed were on the DS.

The only thing that prevents third parties to work with Nintendo right now is that as development costs are always increasing they prefer to develop games for the devices that have the biggest install base. Right now the best option for any developer to get some profit is launching games for PS3 and Xbox360.

It´s not interesting for them in this moment of transition and uncertainty to spent even more on producing WiiU versions of their games, specially with the low sales. But we´ve seen many developers launching games for the 3DS lately. By the way, we are not seeing many games for the Vita, which is a Sony product. Interesting, huh ?

And what about all those projects Nintendo in partnerships with Monolith, Sega, Level-5, Platinum Games, Mistwalker etc etc. Aren´t they 3rd-parties also ?

It´s doesn´t have nothing to do with Nintendo policies. It´s just about money, it´s just about what can guarantee better profits for developers. That´s why Nintendo is not getting games, and nothing more.
