A lot of 3rd party devs shunned Nintendo, cuz Nintendo was kind of crappy to everyone prior, especially with the previous gen of the disc based ps1 and the cartridge based n 64. It took the GameCube for Nintendo to realize they have to play nice with 3rd party devs.
Smaller selection of 3rd party games to choose from, a "cartoonish" Zelda to turn away some zelda fans, and you got yourself a fiasco.
Sadly, many people missed out on one of the best games ever - Eternal Darkness.
