I'm reasonably sure that we don't have any posts from the "NES days" saying people should go third party.

 Mario and Zelda did go 3rd party in the NES days though.

How did that happen? Unless you're confusing it with the infamous CD-i Nintendo games, or the Atari ports of Donkey Kong and Mario Bros.
