At least the Switch's gimmick was somewhat useful and didn't force games to change themselves around it. If they had packed it with a pro controller on top of the Joycons I'd say it was a great choice but otherwise was a money grubber.
Nintendo 1st Party games can do whatever they want, but when every game that just wanted to release on a console had to involve the Second Screen or include something to deal with motion controls that really fucks up the industry as a whole.
aye, i rember the ds era. the touch screen was forced to be plastered onto a lot of games. sometimes to their detrament. ever play dawn of sarrow with the mod that removes the magic circle bullshit? it plays 100 percent better on the boss encounters. one thing that the touch screen i will admit had good uses for was menu navigation... even then i perfer the old highlight and select methiods.
I played it on release and remember thinking how retarded it was, so I can only imagine how good it is in that regard.
A lot of games did benefit for having it down there for simple menu navigation (I can't ever go back to N64 OoT for example), but for all of those there are ones where its basically forced to be constantly interacted with to a level of coordination that a Korean would struggle at.
