So what specific thing does the joycon have over the Pro Controller in terms of minigames? Are they going to be asking you to count how many imaginary balls are inside your joycon? Are they going to be using the IR camera for something? Because other than the those two things, the Pro Controller can do the same motion controls as the joycon.

The developers probably just found it too awkward to use a pro controller as an ore to paddle a boat, or swing it as if it was a baseball bat. I don't think it's wrong for one or two games to be completely be built around the Joy-cons when they are the systems main default controller.

Mario Party 8 was my favourite Mario Party game partly because the mini-games felt they had so much more variety when they were based around all the different ways you could use a Wii-mote. So I don't mind this. I think the mini-games would get too stale if they all controlled up-down-left-right with B to jump and A to do an action, many still are like that but the ones that don't break things up.
