    My issue with the whole innovative discussion is it tends to forget that Nintendo just liked to do gimmicky things that don’t always work out. Smartphones were getting to that point with telescopic controllers without NIntendo. I guess i’m being a little nitpicky, hope you have a good weekend :).

      And I guess what I’m getting at is that, if trying to do gimmicky things that might not work out isn’t the definition of innovation, what is? And telescopic phone controllers are kind of in line with “controllers that can be used in handheld/docked mode,” so I could understand an argument that that aspect of the switch isn’t innovative
