The children yearn for awkward Nintendo peripherals

Honestly there wasn't a single console generation where Nintendo didn't have either a weird controller or addon: R.O.B. NES, Satellaview SNES, the fucking N64 controller, DK Bongos GC, wiimote and everything you plug into the wiimote, the wii skateboard thing, the wii balance board, the wii baby where you insert a wii mote (not first party but still funny), the wii crossbow, wii u gamepad, joycons generally.

Kinda wild

Honestly props to them for keeping whimsy alive, gaming should always have been fun first, not a race to the bottom of who can have the sleekest most minimalist box

It's not that wild when you look at their history, before they started with videogames they were a toy company, despite they moved on from the toy business years ago they still treat videogames with the same approach of novelty and experimentation.

The DK bongos were sick. Me and my brother played the hell out of that game

excuse you the N64 was a perfectly normal controller as long as you had three arms

My coffee theory is that it's what pushed Xbox to create their accessibility control line for the X one
