Based on the heat and condescension of certain gamers, this feels like the backlash against "waggle." We all saw how that turned out. They came out swinging because they knew the paradigm had shifted in a way they weren't comfortable with and couldn't control. The Switch is already doing well with core titles and decent 3rd party support. It's not like they needed this idea or gimmick to move units. I can only see this bolstering the Switch's success. What the Wii was to nursing homes, the Switch and Nintendo Labo could become to craft parties and science classrooms. And unlike the Wii, the Switch's success isn't dependent on this minor aspect of its capabilities, so its popularity won't wane as this crafting/DIY phase wears out. |
I agree with you about motion controls as a lot of 'gamers' seem to have PTSD due to it. I actually don't think this will wear out completely since the idea of creating cheap peripherals seems like a winner. Instead of charging something like $100+ for a game with a unique input method, you can charge $65 and make it more accessible to general audiences. Imagine how much the Robot kit Labo would cost if the backpack thing was made of plastic; the shipping costs alone would be a nightmare.

Same. I hope that it's the main theme for Labo.
