Even Star Fox has a good story!
No double standards, really. And not all games need a great story line to be, well great.
Even if the story is weak, it's the characters that draw you in playing Nintendo games. Pikmin might have had a weak story, but the characters (Olimar, Pikmin and the enemies) and the gameplay mechanics made up for it.
As for games without story, Nintendo makes too few of them, most have a compelling story. You must have not played any Zelda game, specifically OoT or ALttP if you believe Nintendo games are weak story wise.
