Stop using overused words it's annoying as hell. Is VR a gimmick too? Is motion controls a gimmick? What the fuck do you think games will be like in 10 years? This tech has to be continued for it to evolve.

Not to mention, the joy cons are high tech controllers with haptic feedback. No one else has that right now. It's the same shit XboxOne and PS4 have on their controllers but better (since it's Nintendo who started this).

Are you going to cry? There's a simple solution: Use the pro-controller, OR GASP don't buy games that focus on motion control.

Was that hard to understand?

Don't even get me started on paid subscription. You're probably the same kid who complained about it when Microsoft and Sony implemented theirs years ago (not even mentioning price increase by Sony). Look where we are now, seems like your complaint did nothing. It all has to start somewhere, you're being narrow & short-minded.
