Nintendo would see the sky fall down before they would do something like this, because unlike idSoftware, who release good work, make their money, and move on, Nintendo would re-release the same stuff 5 times, except it’s always more expensive the next time
Links Awakening was a nice one as well but the majority is usually painfully lame. And the constant lawsuits are just not a good image of a player loving company.
It would literally not hurt them to open source anything <= 3DS now after the eshop closure. The act of doing that and everything that would come of it (e.g. rom hacks) would actually be a pretty good PR move imo and maybe they’d even find new developers, acquainted with their code, that could be hired by them so they have developers that actually know how to develop good and optimized games.
This is amazing! Hey Nintendo…
Yeah, Nintendo here? What do you need, a lawsuit?

And their remaster looks worse than the fan HD texture packs.

XCDE was a work of love
Mario 3DAS was a cash grab assigned to five interns for it to be completed by the end of the month

Wind Waker original looks nicer on Dolphin with 4K hack and textures than the Wii-U version.

One can sadly only dream.
The thing is that they want to continue to milk those classic titles (see for example the Chrono Trigger Android port)
