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.

If anything I don't think the game would have gone very far without Mario characters being included.

I don't know, a new game in the generally dry Nintendo Switch early year physical release window would have done decently either way. With similar reviews I could see a million or 1.5 million. 

Let's not forget how well Indie Games took advantage of it. I won't disagree it probably would sell less, but I could still see it doing well.
