Yeah isn't Nintendo Retro and Next level for Western studios?
Anyway great for Wii u!
MM and spat are killing it!
Retro and NST are the only 1st party studios outside of Japan. NLG is a wholly independent 3rd party company, but they develop for Nintendo platforms almost exclusively. They're in the same boat as companies like AlphaDream, Grezzo, Monster Games, Game Freak, or Good-Feel.
Honestly not sure where HAL and IntSys fall in. I mean, IntSys has their office and works right inside Nintendo's HQ. But are apparently 3rd party? I dunno.
