Narrative certainly helps drive games like Zelda, Metroid or Fire Emblem. And even if it wasn't the driving force for progression, something like Mario Galaxy still had an involved story arc, and even a pretty genuinely touching backstory (which was basically a retelling of The Little Prince). You're right in that Nintendo always puts gameplay and game design first, but well... they're making games. That's how it should be.
