Once again, you're just completely wrong. Platinum Games owns the IP and is developing the game. Nintendo is just publishing it. Publishing is more than just distribution.

Sega owns the IP, no?


To clear this up from what I understand is Sega own the IP or have a controlling influence on it while PG develop it and have some stake in it, Nintendo however essentially own the rights to the second game meaning for it to be ported every penny from development would have to be refunded as no one wanted to fund the game (it was confirmed to be canned in its concept stage before it was saved), even Sega the IP owners couldn't port it with out permission or paying Nintendo and I think this is what some people mean when they say Nintendo owns the game.
