It's nice that after 15 years Nintendo realized some outreach is a good thing, but I can't help but think this is too little, too late.
This is a game that's 5 years old on ... 5 other platforms already? I don't see it selling well at all, and then we'll see what his tune is.
We heard lots of execs gushing about the Wii U and 3DS in the early days too, and most of them bailed out.
Nintendo needed to be building these relationships like a decade ago so they could build a foundation for an audience, because they haven't this audience is now entrenched with a Playstation or XBox and I don't see that changing, especially these days where people are locked into online infastructures (ie: if you change platforms you lose the ability to play with your friends who also have bought a PS4/XB1 to play with you, as also parodied on South Park).
