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

Dude, lol, Super NES controls are fairly complex there's nothing wrong in saying that. A lot of people can't handle a SNES controller, beyond that most standard Switch games require both sides of that controller to play, which is baiscally a PS4/XB1/Wii U layout. 

When I try to get my fiance to even play like SNES games it's a whole lot of "where's X? I am pressing X, no wait that's Y, what's L? Oh you mean L like left, why didn't you say that? Why's B before A? That doesn't even make sense", there's no way she'd be able to play like even 10% of the games that Nintendo showed at that conference. For a lot of people even a Super NES controller is very complex and definitely not "casual friendly".
