Nintendo will announce big 3rd Party Partnerships at E3

[fleischr]

Considering how well Hyrule Warriors did with the notoriously mediocre Dynasty Warriors franchise, if I were a 3rd party publisher, I'd knock on the door for a spin-off or 2nd-party license too.

While some bigger publishers like Activision, EA, or Ubisoft won't care, some smaller ones are probably interested.

Example: Codemasters takes on ExciteBike, ExciteTruck, or even WaveRace. Same kind of game they're already making, just different and stronger branding.
