Switch Needs a Wii Sports/Nintendo Land/Wii Play.

Even 2D Mario, I think Nintendo has damaged that by milking it too hard the last 10 years. 

What "casual" games are even selling well anymore? Minecraft and uh what? Seems to me like the market is speaking pretty clearly on what they want. 

You tell me with a straight face that you think the Switch would be selling well right now had Nintendo opted to make a "casual" game it's lead Switch title for launch. I can tell you right now, they would be in a world of trouble if they had been stupid enough to do that again. 

You need to learn to address another person's actual points instead of making up stuff on the fly. You also need to learn to concede when somebody else is right.

You know what the market is saying? That the Switch launch isn't a soft or weak launch like you insisted only a couple of months back. I told you and others in that thread that it isn't a weak launch, because Zelda and Mario Kart are killer apps despite being also available on Wii U. And now you are here in this thread and act like you know what you are talking about. I knew that Zelda would sell Switch, but you didn't.

So if Zelda sells the Switch, then why should Nintendo go grovelling to an audience that hasn't been buying anything from them for like 7 years now? Shouldn't the lesson be (I dunno) like to make MORE games like Zelda, and to market MORE in that same manner? 

Seems to me like Switch is doing just fine without needing such gimmicks. Dual analog Zelda, one of the most hardcore Nintendo games ever, marketed almost exclusively to adults, just had great sales for the system. 

And it didn't even need the holiday, why because 20-30 year olds have jobs and can buy what they want, when they want. You just have to give them something they want to buy. And lo and behold, Nintendo was able to do that. 

What would the sales be like if 1,2 Switch was the lead launch title? Or even Wii Sports 3? Not. Even. Close.
