I have the lowest of low expectations for Nintendo consoles. They're always filled to the brim with gimmicks, that while creative, are not fun to use and then the best games are always ones that completely disregard the gimmicks anyhow. I wish they would focus more on making consoles that LOOK and FEEL good when you're playing instead of trying to create the next new thing no one will care about in 5 years. They also really lost the plot on the Pokemon franchise and I feel like that will start to lose them a lot of money when people start to wake up from their comas and realize Gamefreak doesn't know how to make video games and the last good one they made was am eternity ago.

Isn't this basically what they did with the Switch? It's very low on gimmicks that never get used (infrared? Touchscreen?), its games on the whole look pretty good (Most first party titles), and people still play it over 6 years later. Also Nintendo has nothing to do with the development of Pokémon - so while shit, they hardly deserve the blame for that.
It's a hand held console with detachable joycons
The “joycons” don’t bring me joy. They make my hands cramp and are only full of cons.
I think the joy cons make it great for party games, it's really convenient to get a 4 player game of Mario Cart going with just two pairs of joy cons.
Yeah until someone gets one with drift
You're supposed to drift in Mario Kart! /s
Many technologies exist around the inconvenience of having small flimsy drifting controllers in a several player setting. For example: You could pair your phones via Bluetooth or internet for party games in a similar fashion to Jackbox or other party games as a controller/ data entry device.
We shouldn’t need to rely on third party applications or controllers to have a good experience with your platform, be it physically or digitally, especially when the technology has existed for many years.
And don’t even get me started on the software side experience.
Third parties do it for me. Sadly, I wish Nintendo would release official ergonomic joy cons. Instead I must buy something Chinese with questionable QC, to get something fully featured compared to the feature-neutered but high-quality Hori licensed ones.
No offense, but I and all my friends enjoy the joycons a lot. It's been wonderful in college and out. I have a sneaking suspicion the people complaining about the switch are not the... target audience anyway.
None taken and it is quite possible, but they’re most definitely made for smaller hands than mine, and while I can use them, I’d much rather have something that is more… pleasant to use… as opposed to purely functional.
I did have other consoles over the course of it all too: from sega to ps5, gameboy(s), vita and even wii
Some of them deserve more criticism than others is all
Sure - but that's a gimmick that's pretty widely enjoyed. It's not like the 3DS's 3D that pretty much everyone turned off after giving it a shot, or like the Wii's motion controls that most people got sick of before the console retired. As far as gimmicks go it's arguably their most successful ever.
By that I mean the fact that it's handheld - if you were mostly talking about the detachable joycons then I'd agree at least somewhat, especially since they removed that from the Switch Lite - but it is pretty handy in a lot of situations still.
Eh, really it's a cheap android tablet (sold at a markup) that has a built in slots for some gimmick Bluetooth controllers.
To those I've answered... I'm right though. Your switch isn't some magically engineered hardware from Nintendo. It's an underpowered android tablet. The only thing Nintendo brought was the joycons. And most games don't use the gimmicks of those controllers, because the pro controller exists and it's compatible with every non-gimmick game. And yes it's a cheap android tablet, it was criticized for being underpowered and using it of date hardware when it was new! Look at its hardware, look at the price. Look at say an Nvidia shield and look at its price.

I mean, Gamefreak has been shitting out Pokémon "games" for decades now, right? If they didn't realize that in the last 15 years, would they really care about the next 15? I almost feel like each generation becomes the "default Pokémon experience" for their players.
Nha bruh how much copium do you need to accept SV while we had fricking B2W2 and yet it could still have been much more (while on release B1W1 was still shunned but thats beside the point).
SV is playable, thats it.
Gamefreak doesn't know how to make video games and the last good one they made was am eternity ago.
Unfortunately I doubt anything will change because people continue to buy no matter how bad it is
