I agree about actual sports games, but those are two entirely different things. I personally plan to get the NBA 2k title and FIFA, but I also want a party style game like Wii Sports.

There's no reason we can't have both, especially given the "sports titles" are 3rd party.

I actually would like the return of more casual sports games from Nintendo, BUT NOT Wii Sports. I'm talking like things like Ice Hockey, Baseball, Tennis, etc. on the NES/Famicom.

Games that have actual depth to them, but are simple to pick up and play, something you could play with a friend, and something that doesn't have a bunch of cartoon characters in it (sorry Mario). 

Those are more of Nintendo's actual heritage too. 

There's actually a lot of depth to the second Wii Sports title, and I was thinking with how impressive the tech in the joycons is and how good they've got at working with such tech that they could make a really great and inviting new Sports title.

I think the perspective of the Wii has sort of tainted the perspective of those Wii Sports and similar titles, but they certainly weren't the problem; indeed, it was almost impossible not to have fun playing them with friends, and they're absolutely perfect for this console.

I don't really think Nintendo needs to go for more realistic Sports titles as there's already games out there to fill that void... where they can thrive is in the arcade-style sports games. I certainly don't need the Wii Sports-esque game I'm asking for to look similar to the previous ones (doesn't need to feature Mii's and such), but I think cartoonish characters or over-the-top people like the lineup from the recent Punch Out are perfect for their types of games.
