Isn't Level 5 a Nintendo Third party studio as well?  Considering the majority of their games come out for Nintendo portables?

Will you try to show what games these studios have made? Some examples could really help people recognize these studios for what game they have made.

Yep, can do.

Great! I just thought that would be a nice addition.

I think you mean "second-party", as many of the studios listed above Nintendo has a majority stake in, and should in no way be confused as third-party.

Game Freak, Genuis Sonority, AlphaDream, Ambrella, Good-Feel, and Skip all exclusively develop for Nintendo and in many cases are funded by Nintendo, hence "second-party".

Monster, Next-Level, and Camelot are all third-party, but Nintendo contracts some of their games out to them on a project-by-project basis, so for those three the lines between third-party and second-party can get a little blurry.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

You're behind the times on several of the Nintendo ones

Game Freak is wholly owned, for one. Two, it's working on Pokemon X/Y now. Monolith's game was announced as "Project X." Good-Feel is working on the Wii U Yoshi game. NDCube might be Wii U Party, while Sticker Star has already been released.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

what do you mean there is no such thing as a second party studio? Second party studios are independent studios that develop games based on the ip's owned by the manufacturers.

First party are studios owned by manufacturers and third party are not owned or develop games based on ip's from the manufacturers.



I thought sony closed zipper? And Incognito became Lightbox Interactive which are now making IOS games.
