"Nintendo’s reserves of morale seem to have taken a bit of a beating over the last few years. The Wii, in particular, caused a virtual (motion-controlled) civil war amongst long-term fans; some saw the wand-waving as an exciting new way to interact with some of gaming’s greatest characters and universes, while the rest considered it little more than a gimmick, a cheap detour away from classics like Starfox and F-Zero, and into the living rooms of casual and non-gamers. The 3DS hasn’t exactly done much to salve the wound, either."
