Will the Nintendo hatedom go down after the Switch reveal?

1) That generalisation doesn't work. Metroid Prime for example was an outsourced game and it was a huge experiment since it switched the perspective. Luigi's Mansion 2 for example is a game that mostly sticks to the same formula as it's predecessor, so no experminets here. There are examples on both sides.

2) Okay, Mario is a cash cow. Undeniable.

You do understand that it's been 15 years since Metroid Prime was released? Lots have changed since then. This is the 3DS/Wii U era Nintendo in question. I haven't played Luigi's Mansion 2, but there was a decade in between the launches of the two games. Both of the games were some sort of tech demos for their platforms (dual analog/3D).

I hate the controls of Splatoon. The controls (or lack of options) is the reason to this day I do not own the game. If they offered pointer controls, I would have purchased it immediately.

Ahh alright, thanks for the reminder. Now that you mention it, there were some voices like yours. Too bad, it's worth it. Motion controls are much faster and more precise once you got the hang of them.

No it isn't. The motion controls are far from being more precise and faster, pointer is the best method there is. I've played a fair share on both methods (not Splatoon with pointer, of course). The fastest motion control setting is bearable, but you should be able to set the sensitivity to something like 10 times the current highest setting, so you could control the game with slight wrist movement - like you could with the Wii Remote.

I have to agree GhaudePhaede, if you don't already prefer dual analog or care about the motion control, it's not really worth it. The online play isn't done properly and you're limited just to two stages at a time (you cant even vote for).
