Nintendo was one of the last companies trying to innovate with each console they released. Whilst Xbox & PlayStation simply went the “more power = better” route.

But it feels like Nintendo has caved in, and is just following suite. Are there any gimmicks left to sell consoles? Or is it just gonna be like smart phones, we just upgrade because that’s what we do.

I’m gonna miss the era of Nintendo giving us never before seen technology on the mainstream

Gameboy (Handheld) N64 (Analog Stick) DS (Touch Screen) Wii (Motion Control) Switch (Hybrid Console)

    You don’t think the N64 wasn’t innovative with the analog stick ON THE CONTROLLER? I was a dumb kid who thought arcade joysticks couldn’t fit on a controller so that’s why we used DPADS 😭. Seeing a joystick the size the tip of my finger was crazy for the time.
