I agree with this for sure
the reality is he spoke about a LOT of the inner runnings of Nintendo which seems unwise when they are such a private organization. he spoke about how they test some games, the pressure to get certain things done in time, the reaction of one of Nintendo highest executives when the work he and some others didn't really look right (in a somewhat negative light), and even sort of insulted some of the Nintendo fans who get annoyed that more games are not ported from Japan to the USA
I think the guy sounded relatively smart/polite but when you have an employer who forces you to sign a non disclosure pact regarding publicly sharing company information - you certainly shouldn't do it. it's not a joking matter
a lot of people are saying 'how did he get fired just for that!? it seems extreme" but you have to bear in mind that we know nothing about this employee, if he was good or poor. the odds are he already had some strikes against him to warrant this being the last straw
the fact that he would go onto a podcast and talk about Nintendo (something we never!! see Nintendo employees unofficially do) sort of sends some warning signals that maybe he didn't always play by the books
