I disagree, to put it rather bluntly. The only reason they even got 3rd party support in the NES and SNES era was because they essentially strong-armed them to create a monopoly, and that was on top of their censorship that basically butchered creative visions in the name of the self righteous panjandrum of upholding traditional family values over creative freedom. In addition to that, Nintendo ramped up their licensing prices, everything had to be console exclusive to Famicom for 2 years, all cartridges had to be made by them, cartridge orders had to exceed a certain amount, and everything had to be paid in advance (so basically Nintendo kind of forced the 3rd parties to take the risks and even if a game was a big failure they would make a killing from the cartridge orders), and in America, religious references, blood and gore, drugs, and sex was a big no-no. They may as well have written an entire book on the Dictatorship of the Proletariat and how it applies to the video game industry, because they pioneered it. This continued into the N64 era, with major censorship of titles like Cruis'n USA and Duke Nukem, which would affect Nintendo's image, and their sales in the process. They barely even tried to reconcile the situation due to their fatuous thinking on how modern entertainment functioned.
I love Nintendo because of their retro vaporwave a e s t h e t i c which I can relate to as it sums my depression up, and because they are objectively great developers, but they have a history of tyranny that many lament EA for.
