I've searched on some big sites like GameStats and IGN... and they say it's published by Nintendo and Electro Source. (Can a game be published by 2 publisher inthe same region?)
Since these sites are somehow copying among each other, I think I need more reliable sources.

Freaky  EDIT: Just looked on GameSpot, it said there that the game was released by Sega...? |

It was probably developed in part by Nintendo. Either that, or everyone makes mistakes. Nintendo Power stated once Lost Vikings 2 was developed by Big Rain, when really it was Blizzard.

It was a mistake.
Sega and Nintendo were huge rivals back then, in console and handheld gaming.
Nintendo wouldn't just make a game for their rival handheld, even if it was a Star Wars game.
I know, it looks like it might be true, but it's no truer than Dr. Mario being made on the Genesis (yes, I know an idiot who said it was)
People make mistakes with developers all the time.
IGN still says Rad Racer II (developed and published by Squaresoft) is developed by Nintendo, but it definatly isn't.
Never believe game sites, they never have accurate info.

Either that, or everyone makes mistakes. Including NoA. As soon as I've seen their Meteos page earlier, I no longer believe those big commercial game sites about publisher / developer info. |

Basically... the company that developed the game seems to have been associated exclusively with Nintendo for some reason in these big game site databases. A HUGE part of my problem when sorting out the real SNES games published by Nintendo, and the ones that "big sites" SAID were published by Nintendo pretty much centred on this one developer.
In short, somewhere someone has made a mistake.
I've read in multiple places that all of the "Super Star Wars" games were published by Nintendo, but while I've seen some evidence that a number of rereleases (eg. Players Choice) were published by Nintendo when they weren't during the initial release, I've yet to see any evidence that any of the Super Star Wars games were published by Nintendo to start with.
But you can no doubt expect this Game Gear error to have stemmed from the fact sites incorrectly list all games by this developer as having been published by Nintendo, when it seems few, if any, actually were.
So there you go. Answered.
On a related note, Sega's "Columns" WAS ported to the Game Boy Color in Japan - which means Sega had published a game on a Nintendo console before they'd left the hardware market!

Yeah, but that was after Sega stopped the handheld industry, in the days of the Dreamcast, "Sonic Pocket Adventure" was made for the Neo Geo Pocket Color.
...Now I want Columns on the Game Boy Color, now that's a hot game!
