Sounds like an overall improvement but there were a few points that sounded a bit off. First, the impression I got was that the developers who were treated "like royalty" are a small, hand-picked group. Combined with all the talk about curation, managed release dates, "new and original content", and this line--
"'Look, fans are probably expecting these types of fun features and functionality in the game' so maybe they should consider them and take a look at what it would take to implement that technology into the game if it makes sense for that type of experience."
--make me wonder if this is a true representative sample or perhaps a group that was picked because they're working closely with Nintendo in exchange for preferential treatment. Suggesting developers use your gimmicks is one thing, providing a much better experience for those that use your gimmicks is another.
Regardless, it's obviously an excellent deal for the chosen developers. Kind of like finding a golden ticket.
