Gimmic, as far as I understand it is a function/device/thing that is used (or forced to be used) because it is new, and the new standard, but in the end when time passes you dont give a damn because in reality it is not such a good thing after all. With the DS4, the main things are as useful as always (two analogs, d-pad, buttons), but they have more stuff in the device that arent the main purpose of the device, but they still increase the possibilities of interaction between the gamer and the games without being annoying. |
You can consider that the touch screen on the U is intrusive.
You can say that forcing motion controls on a zelda game is annoying and degrades the overall experience.
But you just can't call either a gimmick.
A gimmick would be a love tester, which randomly gives results. It's a gimmick because it has really no value, it's just flash.
