It's being pushed as one of the system's major titles. That's a problem when it's the kind of game that pushes away core gamers. Aiming at the casuals is futile; it's not 2006 anymore, they can already get throwaway minigame fluff like this for free on their smartphone.

Don't be that dense, harcore gamers will see Zelda, casual players will see 1,2 Switch, is really that simple, if there is no market for those kind of players anymore, then 1,2 Switch will fail, that's it. It doesn't really hurt the image of anything, forum dwellers opinions shouldn't have so much weight in your conclusions, like the fact that nobody cares for motion control and party games, are you really sure of that? Because we could be quite surprised with the reception.

This kind of stuff had some appeal through its novelty back in the day, but its no longer novel like it was back then. Simple minigames of this sort can be downloaded for free or a paltry 99 cents on the app store these days. That's where the Wii Sports crowd are these days, it makes no sense for them to pay $300 on a Switch and $50 for 1-2 Switch when they can get this kind of thing on the smartphone they already own for next to nothing.
