Do you think that Nintendo should continue hanging on to Gunpei Yokoi's philosophy?

It's a moot point because game streaming is going to become mainstream sooner than a lot of people think, and when that happens everyone will be going for cheapest tech possible to do the job, not cutting edge. Today's PS4 and Xb one are more powerful than you need to be able to stream 1080p 60fps games of any style and complexity. OTOH game streaming is the very essence of withered technology with lateral thinking.

I think it's the other way around. Game streaming will become mainstream a lot later than people think.

When was the last time technology came on a lot slower than people thought?

3D?

3D is an interesting case, it went through fads of popularity, but I think the filming and  projection technology was what held it back. Once digital filming and projectors came along and got wide market penetration in cinemas 3D came along very quickly and looks to now be a permanent feature; much to my dislike. The digital side of things went from zero to complete dominance in about 10 years from 2000. Digital 3D got started in 2006 and became pretty much the rage in 2009 with Avatar. So from the digital perspective it came on pretty damn fast.
