Until recently, the Wii was Nintendo's best-selling home console. Part of its success came from attracting more casual players with motion-controlled games that involved moving your body rather than using the buttons on a traditional controller.

Now Nintendo looks set to recapture some of that casual audience with the successor to one of the Wii's most popular games.Sign up to our free newsletter at https://thedefrag.com/ - or become a paid member and get an ad-free feed and bonus episodes.Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/rHb7JVHz42Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or YouTube.Advertisers:Command Line Heroes: https://link.chtbl.com/commandlineheroes_cyoa?sid=s9.podcast.thedefrag
