As much as I love Nintendo these problems date back to the days when they bossed 3rd parties around and later ignored their preference for the transition to optical media and stuck with cartridges for the N64, still only meeting them half way years later on the GameCube.
All you hear from 3rd party developers is their complaints that Nintendo is difficult to communicate with, let alone work with, and Nintendo has always had something of a deaf ear to their desires. It's no coincidence that when other consoles are down (such as the PS3 initially, the original Xbox) you don't hear much from developers, but the moment Nintendo is down and said 3rd party developers are no longer working with them you hear person after person seemingly venting all their past frustrations about the company and its console. They'll keep the muzzle on when there's money to be made, but it's clear that many don't enjoy working with Nintendo.
Nintendo just seems to live in its own little bubble; I'm not at all surprised that they lack 3rd party support. This talk of "bias" is mostly silly, as this is entirely a situation of Nintendo's own making.
