[...] The reason I bring all this up is because I think it had a direct impact on Nintendo's own games. They expected the third party support to be there. They expected the second party exclusives to be there. When they weren't there, that's when Nintendo's own games were getting rushed out the door. They weren't terrible, but they definitely weren't what they could have been. This same situation would later occur with the Wii U except with the Wii U, Nintendo took the risky step of not releasing games until they were truly done.

MK8 was pretty rushed actually, the terrible battle mode and the late introduction of the 200cc mode which I think should have been available from the beginning demonstrates that.

For the rest I agree, Pikmin 3, BoTW, Tropical Freeze, Wii Fit and many of Nintendo's first party launch games ended being released too late.
