Yep. Nintendo got exclusives and a huge batch of third parties the old fashioned way, through threats and intimidation Yakuza-style courtesy of Yamauchi. Nintendo concluded they were the only game in town since they had the numbers with the NES, and wanted it to stay that way. There's a reason why people remember Nintendo's first party as fondly as they do, because they manipulated the market to bring the most attention to their games. Whether through their own publication (Nintendo Power), to making sure they had more volume than other games on their platforms. 

Nintendo were the original sharks. They tried their damnedest to keep SEGA and NEC at bay. This is why Sony ended gaining much more favor with third-parties because they didn't spite them in favor of their own games. Well, and the format helped too.

I still laugh at people today that pretends that Nintendo have ever been and still is a loveable company with only the purest desire to make good games for gamers...

They will criticize AAA budgets and DLC scheme but will love when Nintendo keep a game forever at 60 USD (to keep its value) and sell 20M units on a budget of a mid tier game. I would be really pissed seeing such large profit margins that doesn't ever get reinvested and only grow Nintendo bank account.

Lol what a waste of a post we have here. It doesn't matter the budget is mid-tier when the game is better than most other AAA games out there.  AAA doesn't always equal a better product, and stuff like the Order 1886 and Mass Effect Andromeda are proof of that. Besides, what Nintendo games would you argue are not AAA? Pokemon is one, but that is $40 anyways.
