> The thing is Wii and Kinect already tried that stuff 15 years ago and although they were fun novelties at first, neither really changed the industry in the long term. I'm not looking to see something change the industry, I'm looking for interesting and novel. > It seems that the group of people who... I don't disagree, but people are writing games for the platform. I just want to see people lean into the strengths of what they're targeting. Some of the most fun and interesting games for the wii did exactly that. Boom Blox for the Wii was extremely simple in concept and execution, and was also more fun than most Wii games I played. > A much larger group of gamers already has an exhausting physical job, or a preexisting workout schedule, or prefers to go hiking in the woods, and so when they get back to their home to game they just want to plop down and zone out. All the more reason to lean into new and novel ideas, because as I know, when your time for playing games is limited you're often going to stick with the known quantity that can provide enjoyment (which is likely some AAA title that is good enough) unless there's a very good hook.
