The more I think about it, the more I realize that if this shit clicks, then that 2 FPS VC thing is going to become TikTok meta. It's kind of aesthetic if you're mentally ill, which most people in this god forsaken earth in current year absolutely are.

They missed a trick not calling it the Super Nintendo Switch. They could've had a retro grey limited edition and everything.

Imagine using your Sesame Street platform every day to play new video games as an adult.
Every time you look through your games you see your entire library of old digital games that you enjoyed as a small child.
There's a ton of nostalgia and mixed good/bad early childhood memories attached to many of those games.
Most users would abandon the Sesame Street platform and their library of games around middle school.
If childhood nostalgia drove adult sales LEGO would do far more sales to adults than to children.
It's estimated that between 5-10% of LEGO sales in the US are bought by adults for adults.
Healthy kids at around age 11-13 are generally going to reject whatever toys they were given as children.
In Nintendo's case that toy's Mario and the rest of their 1st part E-rated kid games.
In the past this situation was reset to some degree by new console designs and old game carts being left behind with each new generation.
The current situation with permanent digital libraries means older Nintendo kids will permanently own most of the same games that they had as toddlers.
Most healthy *Nintendo Kids are going to get to junior high and migrate to either PlayStation or PC gaming.
A game console would do better in the long run by being branded as an adult console off limits to kids, on par with PlayBoy.
By missing out on the childhood years entirely an adult console would appeal more to older users that it could retain for the long haul.
To paraphrase Jadakiss - Users are 'going to be older much longer than they're going to be younger'.
Nintendo's picked the single Sesame Street decade (3-13) at the expense of losing the PlayBoy decades (14-100+).
Gaming improves cognitive function in the elderly and will replace passive TV watching as the primary source of geriatric entertainment for seniors with money.

I think the point you're missing is that games can be for all ages, and franchises we enjoy when we're younger can still be enjoyed when we're older.Imagine using your Sesame Street platform every day to play new video games as an adult.

People who play FiFA, Zelda, Age of Empires etc. don't become 11 and stop enjoying those franchises. They still play them as teenagers and adults.
And of course, there are also all the adults for whom Wii or Switch was their introduction to Nintendo, and so there won't be any links between Nintendo games and childhood in their minds.

My god some of you need to lighten up! This is fantastic stuff and a great throwback to far simpler times. Shows Nintendo hasn't COMPLETELY lost touch with their past. I liked it and even though I'm not an American, I know the ad well. Great stuff Nintendo.
