The smooth brained entertainment comment was just referring to the Mario Galaxy movie.

They literally make games for the lowest common denominator and everything on the Switch 1 and 2 is so much worse than anything they’ve ever made prior to these system. They look nice, but they are pretty brainless to play, geared toward young children, the elderly, and people who have never ever played a video game before.

I think the Nintendo fanboys need to take a step back and look what is actually being said.
They are smooth-brained games for smooth-brained players. As in they are basic, simple, and hand-holdy. There is no challenge. You basically do not need a brain to enjoy Nintendo games.
That isn’t meant to imply they can not be enjoyable.

Please give an example of a Nintendo game that you consider to not be “smooth-brained”. Because I’d argue that at least since the 90’s their games have had the same level of simplicity and hand holding. If anything, some of that was stripped back in the switch generation. A lot of the “complexity” and “difficulty” of their older games stemmed from developers not knowing how to make a game approachable or easy to understand because the gaming industry was in it’s infancy. And realistically, if you want to talk about complexity, Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom have physics and cooking systems that are far more complex than any of their old games. So what counts as a complex and challenging game for your massive wrinkled brain?

Ok, but... I have young children and parents who I would like to be able to play games together. As far as I can tell, other than Roblox and Lego Party, literally nobody is catering to that market.
