AC and Custom Robo started on N64 in Japan. The Wars and Excite franchises date back to the NES/Famicom. Luigi is a Mario spin-off. HAMMER is, for all intents and purposes, cancelled.
A good deal more of those games Nintendo did not develop or own the rights to, they merely published them in one or more regions. |
Nintendo published them all, therefor they spent their own money to bring us these games. You are correct that they didn't develop all of them. From our point of view, anything released in America last generation is new to us.
