Kirby is more first party than SSBU, AC and Metroid Dread.

Astral Chain I can kinda understand but why the others? Smash Bros. and Metroid are full on Nintendo IPs and Dread was co-developed by MercurySteam and Nintendo EPD.

Smash Ultimate was fully developed by Bandai Namco and Sora ltd. Metroid Dread was mostly developed by Mercury Steam. Afaik only a few people from EPD worked on it, mostly producers and composers.

Hal Labs is like Intelligent Systems practically a first party studio. They have been always working only for Nintendo and are located within Nintendo's HQ. Kirby is co-owned by Nintendo.
