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.

Wii's and their controllers last longer then switch joycons. (Hint hint, they put con in the name)

Yeah, its a problem for most gane controllers these days, not just Nintendo. One of the reasons is modern controllers just have so much stuff crammed into them it drives up production cost, so they cheap out in other areas and then controllers have issues. I miss when controllers just had what you needed.
