Everything Currently Wrong With the Nintendo Switch

Motion Controls… Again

We have no problem with motion controls. But, leading up to the reveal of the Switch, Nintendo stated that it would be a very different console, one fundamentally unlike the Wii and Wii U. Yet, early on in a recent reveal event that detailed pricing, release dates, and game lineups, the Switch seemed a bit too familiar.

The first chunk of the gameplay shown off revolved around motion controls, not a feature that many were excited for. After two gimmick-heavy consoles, many fans were looking for something a bit more traditional. Just a powerful, no frills way to play one of the most celebrated video game libraries in history. Yet we got to see ice cubes shaken in a virtual glass and watch people play quickdraw, or milk invisible cows.
