Nowhere near as big an issue as is made out.
3 switches in the house with huge amounts of play time. I’ve only replaced a single stick due to joy con. Which because they’re modular in design it took me 20 minutes and cost about £8

Although in my opinion (and to my taste) Nintendo’s flagship titles are often the absolute top tier in other senses where many conventional ”PC Master Race” AAA titles fall short. Game design, sound design, polish, overall feel, longevity etc. While perhaps not having as many polygons and gfx-effects… The sound design of some of the top tier Nintendo games (e.g. BOTW) is crazy impressive!
I guess Nintendo caters to an entirely different market though with their traditional japanese cozy vibe. So I get it that it’s not for everyone. Also it’s clear that they just prioritize different things, for good and bad (e.g. Nintendo doesn’t get internet or online play). And there’s certainly a pretty big chunk of mediocre hit-or-miss-titles which aren’t produced by the flagship nintendo studios.
So it's Mario Cart with deviant characters.
Because Mario and Luigi are not deviant. 🤣

For me, access to decent games for the children that have no adverts or IAPs is great.
Cart Racer featuring Family Guy and American Dad characters? Is it 2010? American Dad is still watchable, but Family Guy has gone the way of the Simpsons. Just impossible to watch with characters that are no longer interesting. Pity, both shows in the prime were pretty awesome.
I’d leave a laugh response, but there really isn’t an appropriate response icon to capture that “oh whoa, that’s funny but dark” or “whoa, I can’t believe he went there” feeling! But well played, I’m very glad I wasn’t sipping any beverages when I read your comment!
Might be a good addition. Apple Arcade should get many more games.
The big problem is that Apple Arcade (rightly) blocks IAP. So it’ll typically only get indie games or AAA games (or popular game licenses) that the developers feel wouldn’t be able to be turned into a cash cow through freemium mechanics and IAP. When the most played games in the world these days are all freemium games, that hampers the appeal of Apple Arcade.
It's hit and miss.
Legends of Kingdom Rush is very addictive after getting over the learning curve. Tangle Tower is fantastic with one of the best soundtracks ever in a digital game. Grindstone is an excellent alternative to puzzle games like Candy Crush Saga.
Beyond a Steel Sky is a decent adventure game that works best on newer Apple hardware. Shinsekai is intriguing but it's too easy to get stuck with no clues on how to proceed. Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls is a beautiful addition to the series but it can get extremely repetitive.
Anyway those are some highlights. Apple Arcade isn't too bad for the price if you can find a few diamonds in the rough.
Most of Apple Arcade is junk. And/or for litte kids. I mean, I get it for free because of Music, TV+ and iCloud storage, but still, just junk. Why not offer game classics if the 90s and even 80s, some more intelligent strategy games...
