VG media habitually scoff at Just Dance (16 year franchise), and gave Nintendo Switch Sports an OpenCritic score of 70 (16M+ copies sold). It’s extremely funny seeing some of them rushing to label the success of Nex Playground an unforeseen surprise.
(Insert meme pic: “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this”)
The ultra-casual market is never underserved. Nintendo sold 1.95M units of Switch Lite (cheaper than Nex Playground) in FY2025-03 alone, and the global revenue of mobile gaming is at its highest ever. This segment is merely under-reported.
