The following responses come from a CNET interview that took place with Shinya Takahasi during E3 2018: 

The answer... [boils] down to making teams at Nintendo work together more and increasing communication between the company's corporate headquarters in Japan and its representatives around the world. The way that we make games has not fundamentally changed. Some small technical and organizational differences really can change the focus... 

Takakashi then went on to explain the following:

Much of Nintendo's success to organizational changes that happened over the past five years [resulted from] merging the company's two different software teams and making them work more with the hardware teams. The result was that people could move from project to project more easily, and thus help to bring big game releases to market faster. If a game was taking too long to complete, for example, more people could be brought over to finish it.
