While Sonic was hiring bands to create dozens of quality music tracks to its games, Nintendo continued to use instrumental-only soundtracks for Mario.

LOL.
As for the rest, you have a lot of good points but some are unconfirmed (like the anonymous guy that said there were no documentation of Wii U dev kits and had to wait weeks, and nothing worked and so on. If that was really the case or a huge problem we would have seen many more "anonymous" devs say the same thing. The most other devs have said were things like "Wow they must have had a super early dev kit" and so on.
But yeah, Nintendo's business practises has almost always been horrible to everyone but themselves, though they still make great games after all these years, many of them aren't really what the competition would ever do. That's Nintendo's unique approach. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Luckily for us, Nintendo is struggling right now, we haven't really seen them struggle as much as now. This has to mean Nintendo gets more aggresive with their games and such, and not just aggression towards the rest of the industry like 20 years ago. ;)
Yep.
