The best way to describe Nintendo's 3rd party situation is kinda like describing the making of the Star Wars trilogies. The original trilogy was made by many people who often butted heads with each other and made many executive decisions that made them successful with audiences; same goes for Nintendo and 3rd party devs. However, by the time the prequel trilogy was made George Lucas mostly only had yes-men work with him, and sure, he achieved what he wanted to achieve, however at the same time it also did not do well with audiences of the OT. Same goes for Nintendo and its 3rd party devs. It's not a perfect comparison but it's how I see it
