Third-party games on WiiU - were they worth it?

Tried editing my comment because the Shin'en info on wikipedia was wrong. Guess I should have looked at their webpage first.

Just because a game is owned by a company doesn't make it a first-party game. No one goes around calling Infinite Undiscovery a Microsoft first-party game because it was not developed by them, despite owning the trademark and the copyrights to it (aside from a few shared copyrights with Square-Enix due to the later being the publisher).

Heck, I'm not trying to argue they're Nintendo games. I'm saying they're third-party games. There's a made-up term called "second-party" that is used to designed games made by third-party entities but owned by one of the main developer companies, despite not having anything to do at all with the development of it. In either case, the game is still third-party made, and thus it is still a third-party game, just owned by someone else.

Second party describes first party games that are made by an independent studio (a third party). Why is it a problem that you enjoy Nintendo games?

 

A game published by a company and a game developed by a company are not the same thing. I know you know this. You are just trying to argue. But still, a game that is published by Nintendo is not necessarily a title developed by Nintendo. If a game is developed by a noteablethird party, then it can be said it is a third party title even though Nintendo published it.

Also, if you can call the Tokoyo Mirage game, which you noted is co-owned by Nintendo, a Nintendo title, then others can call it an Atlus title since it is co-owned by Atlus; especially since it was developed by Atlus and not Nintendo.
