      That peripheral was ahead of its time. Release it via Nintendo today with some Fortnite skins and a stupid name and it would sell like hotcakes.

        The tech was great, but they alienated everyone by making it compulsory at the start and trying to shoe horn its adoption.

        Agree that Nintendo could get away with it.

          They should have marketed it as a peripheral and not a gaming controller. That (gaming) should have been a bonus for people to discover.

          The failure of this device was in the marketing. The Internet decided it wasn’t “cool” and they couldn’t recover. That device is still used by multiple industries to this day.

          I think the online backlash against this device was my realization that I despise the unnecessarily negative internet.
