Iwata: We will offer at NX's launch a Nintendo-like solution (!)

[fleischr]

I think Iwata is tipping his hand toward more IP outsourcing. Hyrule Warriors success probably especially drove up interest in deals like this.

At the same end, I think Nintendo is looking to shore up some beaten down 3rd party franchises under its umbrella as exclusives. Things like Dead or Alive, Ace Combat, and even Megaman are ripe for their taking.
