Nintendo can do whatever they want now. They don't need third parties for anything. As long as the NX platform doesn't take a loss for them, with new revenue streams like smartphone games, movies/TV shows coming, and whatever QoL pitches in ... they're no long beholden to the traditional game business or the rules thereof. They can now theoretically make money in a fiscal year/quarter where even their home console/portables do terribly. It's not the end of the world for them anymore.
Also it's always funny to me that EA takes so much sh*t from Nintendo fans. Where's the outrage at Square-Enix? They treated the Wii U like sh*t and they said things like they'd like to see Final Fantasy return on the next Nintendo platform too (my ass Square-Enix). Capcom has treated the system like crap too and totally abandoned it. Namco will take Nintendo's money to be development grunt muscle on Wii U but they won't support it with any of their own bigger IP ... the new Tekken is PS4/X1 only. I wouldn't hold my breath for Ridge Racer U or Soul Calibur U unless you want to die a slow death.
Ubi Soft at least tried reasonably hard for Wii U. Which is more than I can say than basically any Japanese third party, yet they got off scott free cuz they're supposedly "Nintendo's friends". Yeah with friends like that who needs enemies ...

Because EA was the worst. oh, ubisoft didn't try reasonably hard.

EA wasn't the worst. Need for Speed is actually probably still the best racer on the system not named Mario Kart.
Capcom didn't give a rats ass about this platform, all they did was port two 3DS games and call it a day.
Square-Enix ... went running back to Sony the moment the PS4 even had a flicker of success and gave them Dragon Quest Heroes, where's the Wii U version? Where's Final Fantasy Wii U? Not even a sh*tty spin-off? Can't even be bothered? But Sony needs help selling the PS4 in Japan? Guess who shows up in spades to do the heavy lifting. I mean hell they'll even give Microsoft a taste.
Konami? lol, not even one notable Wii U title. Guess they couldn't even be bothered to petition Nintendo to put Snake in Smash Bros. this time around.
Where's the nerd rage towards these companies? Oh yeah they get a free pass because they're Japanese.
Square-Enix has treated Nintendo consoles like sh*t since the N64 days really if we're honest. What games have they given Nintendo? The one major console game in 20 years is Dragon Quest X, a game that did jack all for Nintendo becuase they decided to make it a lame MMORPG rather than a "real" DQ game. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on Wii was hot garbage too. They tried harder on the PSP with Final Fantasy Dissidia.
