It has the Mario IP on it, it was supervised by Nintendo and maybe funded by them in some form, even if just in the marketing side.So it is a second party game. For it to be third party it would need to have zero property from Nintendo(that alkso apllies to the other two) and zero funding from Nintendo, be it financial or otherwise, so it isnt tied to the console.And you certainly wont be seeing Kingdom Battle on the pS4 or Xone. |
"Supervised" not really, they just allowed Ubisoft to use Mario characters but only if Mario can't jump. That's not a real supervision. And "may be funded", well since we don't know about it, and since it's a Ubisoft game, it's a third party title.
And if it was a second party game, Nintendo would talk about its sales in their reports, like they did it with all of their 1st and 2nd party games. But they didn't. Because it's a third party game.
