Not sure what is controversial about that statement. What's the primary directional input on the Switch? Analog stick? Where do you think that comes from? The Joycons even have the return of the N64 style triangle buttons. Rumble is from the N64.
What are the 5 top selling Switch games? 3D Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Smash Brothers, 3D Mario, 3D Zelda ... all of those originate from the N64 platform. I miss 2D Mario Kart actually I wish Nintendo would make another in the vein of the SNES original, maybe they'll do something like Mario Kart 99 (ala F-Zero 99).
The only reason the N64 didn't sell 65-100 million units IMO is because it was crippled by not being allowed to have a disc based format, if it had that it would have sold through the roof, the fact that it basically match SNES sales in North America and Europe as is with most of its 3rd party support gone was impressive. The NES and SNES would not have sold 33 million units (neither of them) if they basically had to sell mainly on Nintendo 1st/2nd party IP with long software droughts (because 3rd parties were cut out) like the N64 did.
