How is this any surprise? Nintendo has been fucking up in the online space for several console generations now. It’s like they can’t do anything right here.
Their industrial design has always been pretty good and well thought out so it does surprise me that they seem to have missed the mark with these controllers.
I’m surprised there’s no mention of the launch lineup – which is absolutely terrible. It’s almost entirely re-releases of existing titles.
I’m a big gamer, so it saddens me to say that this is the first Nintendo console I have absolutely zero interest in owning at this point. After the complete bungling of the Wii U, Nintendo will really have to earn my trust anew if they want me to plunk down $300 (plus a lot more $$ when you add a game and Pro Controller) for one of these.
