You've been on a nonsense streak for a while now.
This stuff's been on Nintendo consoles in the past (you need only look as far as the GC/GBA), but was absent from the Wii/DS due to a general lack of internet capabilities/changing trends. Catching up alright, with themselves from near a decade ago because that's how time works.
They've had retailer exclusive stuff for as long as there has been retail.
So they've always been following shitty industry trends. Lol
