Nintendo doesn't really like to work with other companies unless they have full control, especially not a western company.

They were probably like, "pff, we'll make so much money with the Wii U that we won't even need something like this."

For a moment I thought you were serious.

But just in case you were, Nintendo is working with Big Red Button. And there's Next Level Games in Canada that enjoyed working with Nintendo so much they decided to become 2nd party.

I think Greezo is also a Western developer that was in charge of porting popular and critically acclaimed games like Ocarina to Time and DK Country Returns to the 3DS.

I think you bolded the wrong part.  I'm also talking about partnerships, not contracted services.  

Even then, I would assume that Big Red Button is contracted by Sega.
