GMTK is popular, but he's mostly talking out of his ass. He's got zero industry experience and most gamedevs I know personally clown on his takes constantly. Unless he references specific Nintendo interviews where they talk about their design process, I have doubts about this video containing an accurate description of how Nintendo does things.
At least in this video, all the interviews and documents that they base their claims/opinions on are listed in the description, so you can easily also peruse them if you doubt the interpretation.
I've seem some of his videos, but I'm not that familiar with GMTK. But they did release a game, and it was by all accounts "Very positive" /pretty good.

You should have watched the video before you shat on it.
Yes, he references specific Nintendo interviews in the video. Frequently, in fact, and in detail.
Most games are pretty bad, so this tracks I guess.
Need more Larians in the world.
His videos are great!
