That isn't even Nintendo's definition of casual. Who even cares about the Wii era? Oh boo hoo someone made fun of the Wii .... EIGHT YEARS AGO, lol. I don't even understand as a Nintendo fan why Nintendo fans get upset about that. Hey look at me "Kinect was kinda lame ... stupid even. Eye Toy is dumb dumbs". Is there an XBox or Sony fan running to assault with a barrage of points to show how wrong I am? 

*waits five seconds*

Nope.

Let it go, let it go, guys. Who cares if the Wii got made fun of, honestly it probably had it coming, one does look like a bit of a dork playing it. Why get so defensive over it? 

Switch is here and it's doing things it's own way, Wii is the past and by now the distant past. If anything Nintendo fans should be proud of the Switch because it's broken a lot of so-called stigma's even Nintendo fans bought into -- namely that Nintendo can't compete with Sony and MS using that similar type of marketing and making those style of games and instead needed to retreat to some far nether world of gaming to try and find other players. 

Turns out they can, they just had to execute properly. 

This seems to be an emotional topic :P Not sure how you interpreted my post that way. I just pointed out that you guys seem to talk about two different things - you might even agree with each other! 

No reason for "boo hoo" and drama :D 

Sorry if it came across as crass, I think Nintendo fans just need to get over the Wii era stuff. Yes we got made fun of. Yes some of it was unfair. Some of it probably was justified though. Either way who in the world cares anymore. 

I'm a Nintendo fan from like the freaking 80s. I don't get upset if someone says the Genesis is better because of blast processing, I just smile and laugh at that. 

In either case, why is it bad that Switch is selling largely on the back of a hardcore game driven by a super-cool marketing campaign and chic piece of hardware that looks pretty dope? Where's the "bad" here? This is great. Fuck it, I'll say it, this is better than Wii. Seriously, this is better because Nintendo can build a much more stable fan base if they really execute well on this, Wii was an unsustainable fad that was inevitably going to crash down on itself. 

Lets let the Switch establish its own legacy.
