I'm well aware of the iron fist policies that Nintendo used back in the day, they were even more ruthless with retail. While I can see that some of their pratices were abusive, you can't argue that the output of quality games was great & that the consumer was more respected than nowadays, where we are treated as beta testers, lied to, micro-transaction dry milked by broken sequel games on release, on top of that we have to pay $300 extra to play these games on-line for a period of 6 years.
Nintendo was ruthless with 3rd parties so that we could enjoy great products, Sony/MS let 3rd parties whatever & we the consumers pay for the consequences, worse they are steeping up 3rd parties mal-practices!

There is no evidence to support this quality of games that Nintendo is "responsible" for. Nintendo did not want competition, that was all. It wasnt about the quality. Nintendo basically told them if you want to thrive here is our licensing contract and you will not have room to breathe (thats all). There were plenty of crappy games keylocked on the Nintendo platform.
I guess Nintendo wanted quality on the Nintendo Wii as well, correct? No. It had the largest shovelware library of all time for a console that had the majority of the marketshare in the last generation.

I agree with that, shovelware indeed, i'm glad it was not Nintendo doing such dirty work but shameless 3rd party money grabbers.
What do you want, with the iron fist policies gone, the good & the bad, there is no more quality control of 3rd parties!
