Take-Two -> They barely support Nintendo systems. Reasons are unknown.
Rockstar -> Mostly because of DMA Design. I don't blame them, Nintendo blew it hard with Body Harvest.
why are these two separate? they are the same company.

Not entirely. Much like how Nintendo gets poor support from, say, EA as a whole or DICE (wholly-owned subsidiary) in particular, which is also true, but both may have different reasons for not doing so.
I would say the most prominently anti-Nintendo developers seem to be a certain branch of PC-focused developers. The most anti-Nintendo ire seems to come from groups like Epic, iD, Bethesda, BioWare, and DICE. Companies who honestly have nothing to do with Nintendo, like Valve or Blizzard seem to be on decent enough terms (that is to say, they never say anything about them,) but these PC developers that have a controlling interest in multiplatting their games to consoles seem to have varying degrees of distaste for Nintendo and what they do, which could stem from the fact that Nintendo's trying to subvert the model of consoles being wannabe PCs
Rockstar is an honest-to-goodness case of prior bad blood that is more Nintendo's fault then not, the rest is just sour grapes
