Nintendo is promising "a new experience for the Switch" next week, which appears to be dipping back into the world of fitness.
A trailer uploaded to Nintendo's Youtube account today shows multiple people hooking Joy-Cons into various weight belts and a more solid, circular object. The trailer cuts to multiple cities around the world, ending in Kyoto, before finishing on an announcement of more details on the 12th.
Hot take: this will fail. Just like HD RumbleHow did HD rumble fail? It’s literally just better-rumble. And it’s the best kind of gimmick because it’s non-invasive. Players don’t have to do anything except own a controller. Nintendo has done great with Switch gimmicks because it’s more DS than Wii. It isn’t reinventing the wheel; it’s just adding stuff to the wheel that both developers and consumers can just ignore if they can’t be bothered.
Hot take: this will fail. Just like HD Rumble, 1-2-3 Switch and Labo and any other attempt Nintendo does to try to recreate the Wii.

The Switch Lite doesn't have HD Rumble. Nintendo's original debut presentation of the Switch had a ridiculous amount of emphasis on the feature and yet it's of so little consequence that the Switch revision doesn't even have it.If your argument is Nintendo removes things from revisions because they're of little consequence, bear in mind that Switch Lite doesn't have Joy Cons or even the ability to switch to docked mode either. Nintendo dropped both for cost-saving/profit margin maintaining reasons which is probably the same reason it dropped HD Rumble, not because any of those features were considered a failure. Nice try though, Uncharacteristically-Negative-Current-Ian.
It reminds me of the 3D on the 3DS where, again, Nintendo hyped the feature up as a big deal and in the end the public gave so little of a **** about it that later variations didn't offer it at all.Revisionist history. New 3DS included enhanced 3D with added eye-tracking. Nintendo dropped 3D in 2DS/New 2DS because the company recommended no 3D for children under seven years old which was the primary audience for those revisions.
