I'm not really sure what this means- what is AQ Interactive going to do here?

Last game I saw with their name on it was Freedom Fighters 7 years ago.

Basically the game is going to be developed by a external company not by a internal Nintendo Studio.

This is not really true. AQ Interactive could be just doing some contract work like backgrounds or developing other assests for the game. They list Resident Evil: Darkside chronicles yet we know Cavia was the developer. For example Game arts helped to develop Smash Bros. Brawl but Monolith did background work.

Is this news to anyone? It's a Mistwalker game, after all.

For whatever reason, (I think lack of resources)! Mistwalker usually has to team up with a developer outside itself to finish a project.

I don't know the specification of this thread and am somewhat confused myself, but I wasn't aware that Nintendo was/wasn't developing it or even rumour to be.

Edit: So the co-developer has yet to be announced?

Cavia is an AQ Interactive studio.

This is what I get for looking up the company on IGN instead of using Google.

Ahh I understand now, the co-developer is an AQ interactive studio, and they are the parent company of Freeplus, Artoon and Cavia!

Funny how so many so-called "Mistwalker fans" arent even aware that MW is not actually a developer, but rather a bunch of designers who cant program anything on their own.

Mistwalker, technically, hasnt developed a single game. Very much like Armor Project.
