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. |
there is a big difference between a game being made by a 3rd party studio and a 3rd party game. In the end those are still Nintendo games, but that is not going to make up for missing titles like Fallouts, Far Crys, CoDs, ACs, TRs, FFs, and so on. Thats what most and i think what he was alluding to...maybe.
Edit: i understand your argument, but even then its only Japanese 3rd parties and a few of them.
