every console that has a Fancy New Feature seems to go through an early phase where every game has obnoxious gimmicks that use that feature

the wii had it with everything using motion controls (almost always badly), the ds had it with everything using the touchscreen

i can't really think of any other super gimmicky things on consoles other than the psvita's rear touchpad thing and we don't knwo enough about the vita library to know how badly that was used

@Patashu all i know is that when we learned about it all we could think was "what even is the point of having this"
