I believe Nintendo probably feel that any contract that they could force on you wouldn't be binding and it's not worth their trouble dealing with the laws in your region.
They may require a good (but bigger) publisher will have offices in many territories and an existing relationship with Nintendo.
Even the "developers" aren't considered as publishers.
Nintendo will feel much more comfortable in dealing with them.
More like it's a deal with the devil but it may be necessary.
