their game is second party because it is not solely mario. all games which involve mario in a big way (ie this game) are tied to nintendo because thats how nintendo does it. mario cameos dont make it a first party. it also isnt just a mario game. what systems is this coincidently coming out for? ds and wii.

It looks great, and IMO is the most promising PS3 title to date.

I think it will do pretty well - but will depend on:

1/ How well Sony markets it (I think they will go crazy with it)

2/ When it is released (middle of "great" titles, may be swamped)

3/ How buggy / polished final version is

...

It should do a million units WW easily - but not sure if it will hit 2m. If it does, it should be considered a huge success (for a new IP).

So SEGA is Releasing games EXCLUSIVELY for Nintendo systems now? If they are not, they cannot be deemed second party.

how do you not know what first party devs are? they are owned by the console manufacturer. second party means it is not owned but are published by the console manufacturer.

mario ip is owned by nintendo therefore all games are first party, but might be produced by second parties. halo is a first party game.


 

Explain Mario and Sonic at the Olympics.

First Party Nintendo, or First Party Sega. Cant be both, and explain your answer, in context to your previous posts.

Mario & Sonic is obviously a special case. Not many games get "joint" development between two major studios.

I consider this a 1st-party Nintendo title - as they are (partially) developing it, AND publishing it. No such thing as a 1st-party Sega title anymore. Sega is joint developing & joint publishing.

All "Mario" games are either 1st or 2nd party titles. 1st if Nintendo internally develop it, 2nd if they pay another company to develop it. 

...

Is Metroid a 1st-party or 2nd-party title? Retro is owned(?) by Nintendo, but are they considered internal?

bungie and naughty dog are not second party! they are wholly owned by their respective console manufacturers. do you still consider rare a second party?
