Since when Paladin Studios is first party? You mean Nintendo-published? Then it doesn't mean anything.
First party means internally developed or close (HAL, IntSys) for most gamers.
Nope, see above.

No it doesn't. First party means Nintendo published it for most gamers.
Most gamers have no idea who develops what games and who they are owned by.
For example. You think Astral Chain isn't first party now?
Clubhouse Games and Good Job! are Nintendo-owned IPs.
They are first party games.
I wasn't the one who said no first party games to begin with, just not stoked about what they did show. Big whoop.
not that it means much, but the twitter response to the 2K games coming to switch is very positive.
If I had to bet, I'd say second half of the year will have a Mario game released. Either a 3D World port or Paper Mario.
I'm glad, I've been wanting Borderlands for the Switch for a while now and Bioshock and XCOM 2 releasing for the platform is cool as well.
I'm sure there will end up being a 3D World port but I'll be disappointed if that happens before Galaxy 1 + 2 HD.
Nothing exciting to me except for Bravely Default II.
Still have lots to play throughout this dry season, thankfully.

3D World is a lot easier to port than remastering the Galaxy games to HD, and they're already porting most of the Wii U library anyway.
Being able to get Borderlands 2 on the Switch by itself is appealing to me. I definitely want to play Xcom 2 but I expect it to run like shit.
They just glossed right over the Star Wars podracing game, you assholes!! Otherwise nothing for me in this mini-direct, glad to get a May release date on XBC and might buy Panzer Dragoon which dropped surprisingly early. I'm guessing there was a real Direct planned and they gutted it into a mini one due to coronavirus.
After watching that all I can think is thank god I have a PS4 and Xbox One as well. Looking like an awful year for Nintendo.
There's no clear definition. A lot of people think internally developed when saying First Party.

Owning the IP doesn't mean shit, what matters to gamers are the developers behind it.
Anyway, this Direct probably means no new games from Nintendo internal teams (Or HAL and IntSys, etc...) before the second half of the year :(
Clearly not, given the numerous people in this thread calling them first party.
they're wrong then. a game published by a platform holder is first party. if we go by that definition fire emblem, smash, kirby, link's awakening, luigi's mansion 3, those are not 1st party either.
Yeah because this thread is the worldwide reference lol. Anyway, the point is no new internal Nintendo games in a while.
There's a world of difference between games made by historical Nintendo developers and newly published games by Nintendo.
why does it matter if the dev is owned by nintendo or not? they're nintendo games either way.
and animal crossing just came out, before that ring fit came out which was internally developed, and soon xenoblaDE (which is also internally developed).
Wow! That was better than some E3s!
Clubhouse games looks fab, Animal Crossing events info, Pokemon DLC update, Ring Fit update is insane and could easily be charged-for, the Bioshock Trilogy, Borderlands Collection AND X-Com 2? Why not! I''ve always wanted to get into X-Com and I've never really tried it on PC even though I know it'll be the best way to play it.
Panzer Dragoon Remake & Jedi Academy shadowdrop! (although we knew about Jedi yesterday)
Fantastic mini Direct if you ask me.

Yeah and it's great, but also the first and only internal Nintendo game of the year before June at least.
No one thinks a first party game has to be internally developed. If I own the IP and I own the publishing rights it's litetally mine.
Shit is ridiculous. Crafted World, Samus returns, Astral Chain and Luigi's Mansion 3 aren't 1st party now. Lmao stop.

For me that was a great Direct
Good Job! looks like exactly the sort of thing I love to see Nintendo produce
Clubhouse Games 51 is just what I want on a Switch Lite
Bioshock, Borderlands, XCOM, Need for Speed are all long overdue ports
ARMS character for Smash is something nice to be confirmed
That Ninjala game looked like great fun

this is just a nonsensical boring argument people keep having for years. everyone knows what first party games are, except some people who don't know how game development and publishing and IP and game ownership works.

Why does it matter? Are you really asking that? So for you, Astral Chain and let's say Pikmin are both Nintendo games? Same design philosophy and so on?
There's some stuff happening in the world right now that has likely impacted development on large titles that might not make it out this year anymore.
Nintendo doesn't have a singular design philosophy that all its studios share.
Holy shit, why are you still doing this despite your argument falling apart a while ago?
You can't use the "Nintendo-owned developer" argument anymore so you've moved to "design philosphy."
Yes because it's what I meant in the first place, it's my definition of first party and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Anyway, forget about the term first party if it doesn't speak to you in the same way, let's call it instead "Internally developed games or historically close studios", that's all I'm saying, no new games of that kind before June at the earliest and I find it sad.
You apparently are, based on the replies you're getting while moving the goalposts with each response you give.
design philosophy? why are we talking about design philosophy? do brain age and metroid prime have the same design philosophy? (both "internally" developed)
you could have just said there aren't any games releasing before june that you're into, and left it at that.
No, I really meant "Internally developed games or historically close studios", which are usually my favourites admittedly. But let's move on.
