They\u2019ve also made plenty of niche gimmicky peripherals that either flame out or become smash successes. They\u2019re a toy maker. And coming to terms with these nuances of the company is just a fact a life for Nintendo fans. I think it\u2019s great.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/the-way-wii-were-growing-up-with-nintendos-gaming-phenomenon-1685930\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"> I loved the Wii<\/a>. But hardcore purists tend to balk whenever Nintendo wades into these weirder casual waters.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-nintendo-switch-1685280\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Nintendo Switch<\/a>\u00a0so far has done a great job balancing these dual philosophies. It has some of the greatest, and most gamer-friendly entries in beloved Nintendo series like <em>Mario <\/em>and <em>Zelda<\/em>. It also has a surprising amount of hardcore third-party support. And even the handheld\/console hybrid gimmick only enhances traditional gameplay instead of fundamentally changing it. If you just want to play some video games, the Switch works for you.<\/p>\n<p>But someone at Nintendo must\u2019ve gotten itchy about not being weird again because here\u2019s a new trailer for some kind of Nintendo Switch hoop controller. Sure!<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AdoVBbZ0Z9o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>What is this exercise hoop-looking thing? We never see a screen or gameplay, so all we have to go on is the device itself and how the actors play with it. Users insert the Joy-Con into the firm but stretchy ring and appear to do motion control exercises with it. There&#8217;s also another hoop you wrap around your thigh. Many are guessing this will be for the Switch\u2019s equivalent of <em>Wii Sports <\/em>or <em>Wii Fit<\/em>. If Nintendo wants the Switch to hit Wii numbers, we understand why they would make games with massive mainstream appeal.<\/p>\n<p>We also find the timing on this video kind of funny. Nintendo released it the night following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/nintendo-direct-reveals-overwatch-snes-games-smash-bros-and-more-1802886\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Nintendo Direct<\/a>\u00a0full of traditional Switch games. It\u2019s like the time they revealed the kid-focused <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/hands-on-nintendo-labo-vr-kit-is-totally-good-enough-1779375\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Nintendo Labo<\/a>\u00a0cardboard creativity playsets right after a normal Nintendo Direct. Gotta placate the fans before branching off into the bizarre again.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo says we can expect to learn more about this \u201cnew experience for Nintendo Switch\u201d next week on September 12, just in time for the Tokyo Games Show. In the meantime, here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/play-these-games-on-your-nintendo-switch-lite-1802971\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">cool Nintendo Switch games to play right now<\/a>\u00a0and look forward to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/hands-on-nintendo-switch-lite-is-what-it-says-on-the-box-1800826\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">upcoming Nintendo Switch Lite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nintendo-Switch-Lite-Gray\/dp\/B07V2BBMK4\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1705462 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/SEE_IT_HERE_GEEK-1.jpg?resize=178%2C51&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"51\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/nintendo-hoop-650x366.png\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\"><\/figure>\n<p>Nintendo has made some of the best, most genre-defining video games of all time.
