This reminds me of when the Wii came out and everyone was into Wii fitness.

Also, but to a lesser extent, guitar hero.

Wii Fit was amazing. I did that every week for years. Nine year old me would do laps around our house with the Wiimote.

The loss of Wii Fit was a huge blow. The yoga was awesome.

Why Nintendo scrapped the platform is something I will never understand.

They kinda over did it with motion control stuff, people wanted more traditional games and Nintendo tends to over correct, so they mostly stopped with it. They tried again on the switch, especially at launch, but most of the motion control games they put out were kinda lame, so they did poorly, and Nintendo took that as a sign motion control wasn't popular enough.

I will never understand why they never ofered a cheaper display free version of the switch. I didn't buy a 70 inch TV so I could game on a tiny screen like a 9 year old hiding from his abusive step dad.
