Most of the biggest Switch games feature motion controls as the default way to play; BOTW, TOTK, Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Party, Splatoon 2 and 3, Pokémon Let's Go, Luigi's Mansion 3, Ring Fit Adventure, Monster Hunter Rise, Switch Sports, the list goes on. Having the option to forego something doesn't mean it's not a core feature. HD is technically an optional feature of the PS5, you can play it in 480p if you want, it's still a core component of the platform. Online play is optional, still a core feature. Motion controls are alive and well and here to stay. |
All of them are optional, except botw. Optional features aren't really.
Motion wasn't optional on the Wii in most games... because motion was a core feature on the Wii. It isn't a core feature on the switch (nor the ps5).
Playing on the go or at home is a core feature.
Motion controls a niche that have little impact.
There is a reason even Nintendo makes motion controls optional.
Either way, Sony and graphics were doomed during the ps3 era. Nintendo needed to go 3rd party during the Wii U era... people overreact to small datasets.
Edit
And to your point? Is sub HD a core feature of ps5 games? I can optionally go sub HD. Of course it isn't. Optional features are not core.
