If they hadn't invented the wheel in the first place we'd all be rolling around on cinder blocks sooo maybe we should let them try, and possibly fail, to find the next big "thing" in gaming?

Alright, but I don't like how they make things so different that we (nintendo fans) haven't had a 3rd party parity in a long time. I hear the switch is getting better with 3rd party developers, but it is clear we aren't getting the same thing as the playstation or xbox fans.
I like innovation, I LOVE the games nintendo has made with their unique hardware, I just personally feel like it might not be necessary to change anymore.

They WERE, but they aren’t anymore. The Wii pointer was superb, gyro “pointing” and aiming is such a freaking downgrade and makes me sad.

I've never really cared about 3rd party parity. The very few 3rd party games I care about tend to also end up on PC eventually. The few that don't are console exclusives anyway. Meanwhile Sony and Xbox's inability to innovate hardware piled on top on developer's inability to innovate gameplay has just fatigued me on the AAA market. There are lots of pretty games, yes, but more and more they are rather hollow, often buggy and incomplete, messes. The gems do exist, but man I've got a whole pile of diamonds with my Switch.

The bolded part is not true, Splatoon and Arms exists because of the younger ones in Nintendo, which he also supervises. Sometimes, you guys are so quick on targeting the failures while not acknowledging other minor things. He even emphasize himself more on nurturing new batch of Nintendo's frontlines, so that he can retire. He's a true old guard in that sense. Also, venerating people as a god is always wrong, they die. Still, he's the creator of Mario Bros for fucks sake, are we gonna disregard Notch like Microsoft did with Minecraft?
I hope you know that you're trolling because that's just bullshit, even with last year's bulk factory market price. Joycons with all that shit in it are expensive luxuries.
.. and ironically Nintendo are the ones who pride themselves on selling affordable mainstream technologies while still making floating profits. Sony and Xbox are more on selling services nowadays.

Well if Nintendo wants to make a controller that the standard for the next generation they can start by not making one that feels like I can break it in half with my bare hands just by holding them. I know a lot of people like the joycons but those things just feel like cheap plastic to me. If the joycons didn't have the Nintendo brand attached to them a lot of people would be shittin on them right now.

Who can even quantify what his contribution is anymore. Apparently he climbed trees for about an hour in his first play of what would become Breath Of The Wild, and it was the GOTY. I'd even go as far as to say the motherfucker is like jazz - all the 'notes he doesn't play' are significant. Splatoon, Mario Galaxy, ARMs, etc. show a lot of restraint and his deft touch at mentorship.
Sure there's the polarizing Star Fox Zero and Pikmin, but in general I'd be skeptical of most criticism levied at him at this point. They mainly fall in the category of his design ethos being outmoded, yet here we are again, scratching our heads at Nintendo's latest success.

I don't have much confidence in them when for the last 3 generations Nintendo's controller that's come with the console have been shit. The Wii remote, the Wii U tablet, and the joycons. Thank god there are alternatives people can use.

Please make it large enough so that buying an additional peripheral isn't mandatory to make the system usable for anyone who has normal/larger than normal hands.

My thoughts exactly. I'd be fine with controllers staying as they are for another decade.

Developers want to focus on making great games, and not burdened by formats or what controller you're using, I mean Nintendo has had interesting controllers regularly since the N64 that get paid attention, but now you have the Switch and I don't buy this screen attached to your controller thing.

Luckily you can provide both.

Some innovation will sticks while we would still have 'pro controller' on every generation, I think. I mean even a Wii U got its own pro version so not much to worry about that.
Gotta remember how many times they invented or popularize certain aspect of today's gaming. One of the thing I will always remember is playing Brain Age DS, using touch screen almost exclusively on 2006, two years after DS was launched. I'm seeing heavy resemblance mini-games there on our phones, tons of them. There's also little things here and there that I can appreciate, using motion controls for minute snipe in BOTW, or HD Rumble basically for those who love rumble it is.
