Nintendo can do whatever they want now. They don't need third parties for anything. As long as the NX platform doesn't take a loss for them, with new revenue streams like smartphone games, movies/TV shows coming, and whatever QoL pitches in ... they're no long beholden to the traditional game business or the rules thereof.

They can now theoretically make money in a fiscal year/quarter where even their home console/portables do terribly. It's not the end of the world for them anymore. 

Also it's always funny to me that EA takes so much sh*t from Nintendo fans. Where's the outrage at Square-Enix? They treated the Wii U like sh*t and they said things like they'd like to see Final Fantasy return on the next Nintendo platform too (my ass Square-Enix). Capcom has treated the system like crap too and totally abandoned it. Namco will take Nintendo's money to be development grunt muscle on Wii U but they won't support it with any of their own bigger IP ... the new Tekken is PS4/X1 only. I wouldn't hold my breath for Ridge Racer U or Soul Calibur U unless you want to die a slow death. 

Ubi Soft at least tried reasonably hard for Wii U. Which is more than I can say than basically any Japanese third party, yet they got off scott free cuz they're supposedly "Nintendo's friends". Yeah with friends like that who needs enemies ... 

Because EA was the worst. oh, ubisoft didn't try reasonably hard.
