I'm sorry that you feel like a genuine discussion on Nintendo age is moronic. I'm pretty sure that we all know it was published by Nintendo, that's not the point. I'm just a little confused in the situation of Conker, so is that a first party game in some parts of the world and third party in others?
Most of the N64 Rareware games, including Conker, say "published by Rareware" right on the label. Those are 2nd party games, because Nintendo owned a majority percentage of the company who published the game.

For the times an N64 Rareware game was published by a third party (like THQ), that is either a 2nd party release because Nintendo still owned a majority percentage in Rareware, or it's third party because of the publisher.

Either way, I'm pretty sure Rareware's games always got heavily scruitinized by Nintendo, with the possible exception of Conker's Bad Fur Day. It wasn't even covered in Nintendo Power IIRC. ]]> Dragon Warrior Eighth-Party Proto http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=153266 2015-10-04T13:34:59 -05.00 ExplodedHamster 62 Dragon Warrior Eighth-Party Proto http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=153266 2015-10-04T13:21:38 -05.00 ExplodedHamster 62 Originally posted by: steven78

These were used for Nintendo Power coverage. Note the heartbreaking Wild Boys cart that has Kickle Cubicle EPROMs inside.

Holy shit. I need to expand my protos search parameters, I completely missed it.

i bought this this week, that wildboys cart is indeed very intresting.

btw how do you know these are used for Nintendo Power, the markings on the carts ?
I asked the seller where they came from, she said it was the estate sale of a "writer from Nintendo." ]]> Dragon Warrior Eighth-Party Proto http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=153266 2015-10-04T01:13:26 -05.00 ExplodedHamster 62 Originally posted by: TheRedEye

Yeah, I saw that listing when it was posted. Shame about Wild Boys. Makes you wonder if the EPROMs were used for said game and then overwritten with KC, or if they were removed and stored elsewhere. SMB3 is cool, too bad it doesn't predate the JP release.

This argument is utterly moronic. Are people really that confused over how publishing works?!?!

Dragon Warrior was published by Nintendo of America, fact. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if NOA converted the game from CNROM to MMC1 on top of all the marketing and printing they did for that game. Dragon Warrior 1 was even given out for free as a promotional for Nintendo Power. How is it not a first party game?!

Another example, the US/CAN release of MegaMan 6 is a first party Nintendo game, because it was published by Nintendo rather than Capcom.
