I think the relationship is mixed still. Sure, there's the Skylanders deal, a few Ubisoft games, a couple ports from EA (including the infamous Mass Effect 3 port when the other consoles got a trilogy release, why EA?), Koei Tecmo with Hryule Warriros and Fatal Frame, Platinum Games is pretty much well-documented here, and Square has Dragon Quest, Bravely, and Final Fantasy on 3DS. Then you have Atlus with SMT games and the crossover, Capcom with the Mega Man Legacy Collection, Monster Hunter, and Ace Attorney, and Level 5 with Layton and Yokai Watch.

While not mindblowingly great, the content there is pretty darn good. Bravely Default and Shin Megami Tensei IV found moderate success and Yokai Watch is a monster in Japan (along with the other Monster).

I think Western third-parties are less inclined to support while Japan is more willing (at least more on 3DS).
