First-party developers may use the name of the company itself (such as Nintendo), have a specific division name (such as Sony's Polyphony Digital) or have been an independent studio before being acquired by the console manufacturer (such as Rare or Naughty Dog).[5]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_developer#First-party_developer Retro are a Nintendo studio, they are first party. |
They develop first party games in the sense that the games are available only for one system, but they are not first party. Quote Wikipedia all you want, it won't make Rare 1st party, to Nintendo or Microsoft.
