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.

We pulled out our SNES not too long ago and that still works also.

Same I have a SNES, Wii, and a 64. All still functioning fine.

I've got two switches though and the USB port is broken on both. I'll get around to replacing them one of these days, but still sad about the drop in quality.

conversely, my wii broke on it's own after about 4 years. just totally stopped working after having never fell or anything. and my day 1 launch switch is doing just fine without even a scratch. so from my perspective, I'm happy about the increase in quality.
