Hyrule Warriors wasn't even published by Nintendo in Japan. Calling it 1st party because it uses Nintendo IP is a stretch.
Nothing about your post seemed rhetorical. Especially since the Wii U has more noteworthy third party games than the N64 ever had. It even more or less matches the Wii, with only the Game Cube having a stronger showing.
I think what he is actually trying to say is that his rhetoric skills are really bad and that he needs to move goalposts several times to actually reflect reality.
Huh?
I'm gonna need some names of these 3rd party games. Please list.
