We also need to remember things like ..
Nintendo still being the only ones out of the three who charge third parties for patches..
Nintendo likes to supervise any form of DLC that goes into their console, and if they don't feel it's right for their consumers, they give third party publishers hell for it.
Those two factors are still very toxic with their relationship.. Nintendo still feel that they need to be the dad of the industry, because if they don't keep things in check, nobody will. They might have lost the grip they had on these publishers back then, but I don't think they're too happy about publishers running the industry instead of the hardware makers running the show.
