Ok, so after reading more into this I didn't realize until now that the actual reason Nintendo doesn't want to publish it is because they thought it was an awful game? Lol, to be fair you can't blame them though, if something's going to be terrible they probably won't want their name on it or for it to be considered a "nintendo game" or something.

Kind of makes the whole point of them getting it as an exclusive pointless though lol.

Weird considering they funded it and likely helped develop it because of the funding. Kind of like Bayo 2. Seems like they screwed up if they see it as not being a good investment don't ya think?

Well, it's certainly an indicator of a mistake in investment.  But it could be they legit trusted a well respected veteran of the industry and said veteran screwed up.  It happens.  A name is worth a lot, but trusting it can also lead to problems.  It's not like old veterans have never screwed up a project before. 

Okay. So if you were to contact somene to build something for you, it would be irresponsible for you to not check up on the status of the project, in person to see how things are going. If you want to throw away money on trust, you might as well go give it all away to shelters, it will likely go farther and you can get some tax breaks. Either Nintendo didn't take their responsibility seriously of producing the game, or there is something flawed in this rumor. Since it's only NoA and not Nintendo as a whole, it lends itself to the idea that there is far more going on than what is said in this. It seems like NoA just has a lack of trust in Japanese titles in general. More recent proof of that is Fatal Frame being a digital only release.
