Information About

Second-party Developer







The defining characteristic is that a second-party developer is a company completely separate from the manufacturer, while first-party developers are considered to be a "division" of the console maker itself.

A second-party developer should not be confused with an internal first-party studio. For example, Intelligent Systems , developers of the original '' Metroid '' games, is an internal Nintendo studio and therefore not second-party.

Camelot Software Planning , developer of the '' Golden Sun '' games, is an example of a second-party developer.
