Nintendo aided MS with creating Samus Returns and MS said Nintendo made them a better developer, Nintendo deserves every bit of praise for this game.

I disagree. Nintendo may have just been an advisory to the entire development process or maybe even less than that.
I mean... RARE helped Double Helix with the development of Killer Instinct, but they were only providing advisory assistance rather than anything actually tangible.
Double Helix is the one that is still credited with the development of that game... And rightfully so.
