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.

As you can see, "Nintendo regularly works with third-party teams, including Bandai Namco, Team Ninja, Platinum Games, MercurySteam, WayForward and Grezzo.", it's just they are looking for more third parties.

Actually, if you actually look, you will be surprised how many big games are actually made by third party. Latest example, Metroid Dread, one of the most polished game was developed by Mercury System. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is by Bandai Namco and so on.
