I have no idea if she's right about this, and I know she's gotten some stuff wrong in the past, but I'm not sure exactly what Emily has done to earn this reputation as the biggest lying liar who ever lied about insider info. Nearly all her NX info has been backed up by much more reputable sources.

She said something incorrect about the mother series. Gamers can't forgive that sort of thing.

I actually rather agree with this. I can't think of a single system I've ever owned, and I've basically had them all apart from 360 and the Bone, that had more than about 10 games I would consider exceptional. My Wii U actually has a good 8 or so games that I would call "great", and I've never even played that copy of Wonderful 101 that I got when Club Nintendo closed.

Also perhaps the Sega Genesis. That thing was pimp.

If you count all regions you can get that N64 number up to 388. There were actually a fair number of really quality N64 games that never left Japan. Sin and Punishment is the obvious example, but not the only one.

The N64 even had the best (only) console version of Starcraft, with Brood War campaigns, split-screen multi, and even a secret bonus plot mission only available to masochists who beat all six campaigns without using cheat codes (I did this! In...like...2008, because giving up on Starcraft 64 as a kid was one of my lifelong shames that I decided to correct nearly a decade later. Resurrection IV is a weird mission that foreshadows Starcraft II heavily even though it was released nearly a decade before Starcraft II)

Command and Conquer 64 was terrible compared to the PC version, but it's really impressive that that even existed.

No one would be crazy enough to put RTS games on consoles anymore, let alone Nintendo consoles. Starcraft 64 ended up being my most played N64 game by a lot, with Command and Conquer a distant second. Those games are the main reason I have fond memories of the N64.

I'm curious, for those of you who owned multiple consoles from this generation (Xbox One, PS4, Wii U), what, if anything, made Nintendo's first party titles stand out from the games on other systems?

I think what Nintendo does better than anyone else is just plain good design. They don't have the most pixels or the most hdees but they take what they have and they just make things look good with it. In particular, I think they make the most vibrant and colorful games, which really stands out in the age of greybrown AAA blockbusters.

The sound and music they have in their games always stands out to me too compared to the boring forgettable orchestral scores you get in most games on other consoles. Like the attention to sound effects on Splatoon for example, the sound of the ink splatters or the little splashing noise when you drive into ink. That all goes a long way for me.
