I agree, but they will undoubtedly be able to do more with more capable hardware. I was also disappointed by the switch’s relative lack of gimmicks beyond its hybrid nature. I miss streetpass, Miiverse, etc. I hope they can get back to some of that on the next gen hardware.
I'm kinda glad it's devoid of gimmicks. A lot of them felt like it was just Nintendo was putting them in there for the sake of having gimmicks.
I do really miss dual screen gaming though. The assymetrical stuff that the wii u did was A tier and its not been replicated anywhere without the need of a second independent device. Also Mass Effect 3 on the wii u was the best version because of the gamepad. It was great not only having a map at all times but also being able to issue commands without having to go into that wheel menu that slowed the game down.
Oh man this just isn't for me, I hate how gimmicky everything Nintendo touches is.
I also agree. I hope the really blow it out of the water with both power and bringing back some of that ol' nintendo charm. Switch feels very lonely with how clinical it is.
I mean they had Labo, but they kinda did it half heartedly, instead of creating actual accessories. Being made of cardboard was kind of a shame.
I liked the idea, but it was expensive for what it was even if technically it was the right price for the parts cause it wasn't just any old standard cardboard. I do think they should've kept going with it though
A handheld that can play real 3D games was a hell of a selling point. It basically single handedly made the Steam Deck happen.
They also have ring fit and labo.
