I am surprised by the lack of Nintendo X Lego games.

There should be risks on the games Nintendo makes and funds, but that doesn't mean to just ignore a safe project. Again, it's not like it would take the same time, manpower and efford to make a Nintendo Lego game than the needed to make BotW. It's not a risky project, but rather a small one, that would mostly use 3rd party manpower, Nintendo would just need to allow the 3rd party and fund it.

So Nintendo needs to fund it as well? What happened to "it would be great for the third party" in all this? Why cant Nintendo just at least lend their characters to the people who are making the Nintendo Lego game if its such a cheap and safe game to make?

How many of the 3rd party ventures Nintendo had this gen with the WiiU were fully or partially funded by them? I know Bayonetta 2 was funded by Nintendo, but I don't know how it was for Hyrule Warriors or SMTxFE. Were those funded by Nintendo in any proportion?
