Wow yea they definitely did, but that means they really need something good to show off the capabilities of the new Joycons
Better off it they didn't waste money on gimmicks that no one wants anyway. They seem to be banking on the success of the Wii's motion controls from 10 years ago. In those 10 years, people have figured out they don't want motion controls forced on them in every game.
Everyone hated the forced use of the Sixasis in games like Uncharted and the game Lair completely bombed partly because of the forced Sixasis controls.
Playstation move and Xbox Kinect were horrible failures.
I've heard that Breath of the Wild forces the use of some of the Switch's gimmicks and those parts of the game are horrible.
If the Switch was made by Sony or Microsoft, then they would see what a bomb 1,2 Switch is, and how few people like gimmicky controls, and they would steer away forcing them in future games. Nintendo will just double down on it.
