How much can I expect to make if it sells fairly, and how much will
Nintendo be making?
I would prefer to make it first, then find a publisher, than be under
their influence and milestones. But I don't want to spend a lot of
time writing it if I'm going to get screwed by Nintendo. Nintendo
already rejected my company as a dev a year ago and ignored several
of my emails afterward. If they can veto anything I make at will, I
don't want to waste my time.

and they have a publisher now. I might be able to recommend something
to them. But I would make a good demo first.
