Nintendo has relied on Western companies such as Retro Studios and Next Level Games to push forward existing Nintendo IPs, and that is a result of trust, Shigeru Miyamoto said.
“We built the level of trust with these companies and we know we can rely on them,” Miyamoto told Official Nintendo Magazine (via Nintendo Everything).
While Nintendo acted as more of an overseer in the past, Miyamoto said that Nintendo has been actively working with these companies on recent titles such as Luigi’s Mansion 2.
