It does push the industry forward in some ways, and I can respect them for that because no one else is. Everyone else is in on the DEI/ESG train or just making nostalgia-bait that's fun for a little while.
Nintendo's insistence of trying something new has at least forced me to buy their hardware, which I can't fault them for because I have zero reason to buy a PS5 or Xbox Series X. My poor PS4/XB1 just sit and collect dust. I have no reason at all to use them since most worthwhile games are on the PC.
Nintendo believes that new hardware must innovate gameplay to justify itself. There's always a gimmick.
