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.

But we have a term for games that are published by a console manufacturer but not developed by the console manufacturer. It's used throughout this thread. They're called second party games. I Tokoyo Mirage is a second party game. Not a first party or third party game. The same goes for Wonderful 101, Fatal Frame, Bayonetta 2, etc.
