... if they had NDAs....you wouln't hear about them.... becasuse that's the purpose of NDAs.

... I think you're missing the point. Why would they have an NDA regarding the fact that they can't run the game exclusively as a home console? That doesn't make sense in the slightest.

Bungie: Hey Nintendo, can we make this game run only on docked?

Nintendo: No.

Bungie: I see....

Nintendo: Oh before you go...

Bungie: Yes!?

Nintendo: Remember this is under NDA. We don't want people knowing we don't feel like giving you the ability to do that. It's a secret (to everybody).

^ That generalized convo doesn't make sense to have under NDA. If Nintendo stated that their policy is all games docked must worked undocked, as you previously stated, why in the world would they need to have an NDA over the same thing?

If you only knew the type of trivial bullshit that is held under NDAs in the game industry... it's absolutely ridiculous. A potential project that was discussed that will never come to light? NDAs are pretty standard. I have a game that I worked on for the better part of three years that sits on my resume as "unnamed project". If you don't want to use my example, think about the number of cancelled games that only come to light because someone accidently mentioned it on their LinkedIn profile.
