This could be useful if a third party is hesitant to invest the resources needed for a particularly challenging port; Nintendo could have Shiver do it.

I bet they managed to get a good deal on Shiver with the Embracer debacle, they're desperate for cash with the mountain of debt they're in.

Like how Embracer got Square's studios and IP's in the west for a pittance. 

Pretty much. It's tough times for a lot of companies so they're looking to make a quick buck any way they can, which sadly usually means mass layoffs.

At least under Nintendo Shiver should be better off.
