I also know that Nintendo is actively meeting with independent developers to find new partners. Some of that is around publishing indie games, which Nintendo does from time-to-time, but it's also seeking studios that could work on some of its IP. Nintendo regularly works with third-party teams, including Bandai Namco, Team Ninja, Platinum Games, MercurySteam, WayForward and Grezzo. But the company is looking to add to that roster, and I know of three studios that are deep in conversation around making games based on Nintendo brands.

I don't see a world where they outsource Mario.

Kirby? Yeah. Metroid? Yeah. Mario feature in a third party game? Already happening.

But no way a fully fledged mainline Mario related game gets outsourced. That little bastard is the only reason I have any Nintendo consoles, he is too valuable.
