I've never seen proof of Miyamoto ever bashing DKC, and when DKC Returns was announced, Miyamoto addressed the rumors, not understanding why people assumed he hated DKC. (In fact, reviving the series on Wii was his idea.) He never even mentioned ever bashing the game prior, and I've seen interviews where he talked nicely about the game.
I think some just misunderstood that Miyamoto didn't want Yoshi's Island to have the same graphic style.
As for Conkor, despite NP magazine ignoring it, (they did make an official Player's Guide for it though, and a later issue's "Playback" section honored the game) that's false. Sense stuff like South Park was becoming popular, Nintendo was fine with the more adult humor of the game, and even encouraged it to reach a more mature audience. Nintendo in fact, promoted the hell out of it, at adult clubs, animated online shorts, and such even with beer mugs, and surprisingly condoms of all things.
Mickey Speedway was the only Disney game, Rare made, and Nintendo still published it, so they must've not been that upset about it. (I never heard of that incident actually.)
In fact, according to Grant Kirkhope, Nintendo was actually very generous torwards Rare, and would pay them for every game cartridge made, regardless if they sold, or not. Other former Rare staff seems to of prefered working with Nintendo, so honestly it doesn't look like their relationship was that bad.
Nintendo even payed homage to their former partnership with Rare by including a yellow "Donkey Kong Land" Gameboy cartridge in a recent Pikmin 3DS game, and the game cartridge item is called"[Enduring Partnership.":](http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/07/hey_pikmin_shows_nintendo_still_has_a_soft_spot_for_rare)
