Impertinence, I think the key thing youre getting wrong is the whole "developer" thing. Nintendo isnt a straight-up developer, Nintendo is a publisher with several dev teams under the name. Putting the entirety of "Nintendo" up against one other dev team is just not cricket. Its simply not fair. "Nintendo" would need to be put up against Sony Computer Entertainment as a whole, or Activision-Blizzard, or Take-Two Interactive with Rockstar under the roof... To Ubisoft or EA.

Nintendo as a Publisher is on a totally different level to 99% of the industry. No arguing against that, but when you split "Nintendo" down into the development teams (Like you would for Sony to get to Naughty Dog, Polyphony Digital, etc.) you get a totally different picture when matching the teams up against other teams from other publishers.

I dont think we can realistically pick out one single developer as being the best, because a lot of different dev temas are damn good at a whole lot of different things.

Well I think you are wrong, I don't seperate the different first parties under Sony and I don't do it for Nintnedo, Just like I don't seperate the different studios under the EA umbrella or Ubisoft. You are welcome to try to come up with a (non subjective) metric that can be used to make a reasonable argument against Nintendo being the best videogame developer in the world.
