Masuda was at nintendo headquarters October but it could be anything really
That could very well be a sign. Again it's not that GF don't work with Nintendo to produce the games it's just that it's mainly GF itself that does all the actual stuff. This time around it's possible that they brought on some Nintendo proper staff to help out with the Switch game. It would make sense seeing as Nintendo first party developers would know the system better than 3rd party developers would. Plus since GF and Pokemon have such strong ties with Nintendo it'd make sense for them to help out in anyway they can. Technically GF were missing about 80 people at the start of the Switch development due to the younger staff being delegated to USUM. If Nintendo was helping out that would supply them with a few extra hands they'd be missing otherwise. And now that USUM is out fully they'd have the full power of their entire GF team plus maybe some Nintendo employees to really bang something good out.
