And 0 third parties.... "but we don't need shitty third parties'

Twilight Princess HD (Tantalus), Pokken Tournament (Bandai Namco), Star Fox: Zero (Platinum Games) and Genei Ibun Roku #FE (Atlus) are made by third party studios. But I doubt making a rational argument was your intention when you entered this thread. And Super Smash Bros. 4 was also made by a third party studio and will get Cloud as DLC, one of the most iconic third party characters in gaming.

In fact, Mario & Sonic at the Rio Olympics is made by Sega and Project Treasure is made by Bandai Namco. The only game on his list that is being made by Nintendo is Zelda U.

only one of those games, is an actually 3rd party game. Everything else is 2nd party

We're talking about third party studios. None of those companies are second party. AlphaDream is second party and so is HAL Laboratory. Why? Because they're not owned by Nintendo, but make games exclusively for them.

If Nintendo didn't think they'd need third parties then why would they collaborate so often with them? Why is this so hard to understand for some?

All those games are first party games because Nintendo owns them (so they're not second party games like Banjo-Kazooie used to be during the N64 days), but they're made by THIRD PARTY STUDIOS.
