When they own the IP but have a third party develop it we call it 2nd party ^^ I wonder what we'd call Bayonetta 2. They technically own the rights to the second title, but don't actually own the series IP. That's like 2.5th party xD |
Stolen from http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Second_party_developers
"A second party developer is a developer who is tied to a specific console manufacturer by contract or partial ownership"
Platinum is not tied to nintendo. (They developed a Metal Gear Game for PS3 and X360 in 2013)
They are third party.
