What is "Nintendo" in your view? Monolith Soft and Next Level are first party developers and not "partners" in my opinion. Monolith Soft in particular has touched so many Nintendo games as co-developers in addition to Xenoblade.

Game Freak on the other-hand is "second party" or "third party" depending on how you want to classify them. 

Nintendo's internal studios, EPD, are the ones who seem to be avoiding stuff like DLSS, (or AA last gen) external first party studios like Monolith Soft, Retro, and Next Level Games have always had different priorities.

I don't know if we have enough evidence that they are avoiding DLSS. Again, the two examples (Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World) started development on the SW1, which doesn't support DLSS. 

Also Monolith Soft has been touching almost everything, ostensibly because they are technically capable. I can see them putting in input that heavily sways toward using DLSS.
