But anyway I dont see how the controller is so difficult.

When held sideways a Joycon is a SNES controller with a control stick instead of a D-Pad.

When used upright, they are the equivalent of a Wii Remote or PS Move controller.

When combined its a standard dual-analog controllers.

If you're talking about the average "2D Mario is the most complex type of game I can play and even then I stopped after World 3" crowd, that is fairly complex. 

Even Super NES is beyond a lot of them. That's four face buttons + a clickable analog stick + 2 shoulder buttons ... that's a lot for them to remember/handle (which button is Y again? Where's X? What the hell is a SL button?). One of the common complaints during the show was also that it's fairly easy to press the wrong button in that SNES layout because the buttons are so close to each other. And that's the "simple" layout. The "standard" dual Joycon/dual analog set up .... forget it. These people are gonna be lost with 95% of the games shown. 

you have got to be the most stubborn person on this site
