Y you do dis?

Dear Nintendo,

There are millions of gamers like me (I checked) who, knowingly or not, like their control stick to mimic head and neck movement – ie, push forward to look down, pull back to look up, just like airplane controls. How you could barbarically excise this option from Switch beggars belief. It’s obviously to dumb it down for the ‘casual’ Switch gamers, which is ridiculous considering the large number of games on there that already have an ‘invert Y axis’ option – you could just as easily have added more explanation for the poor, confused things. I have always been a dedicated fan, dismayed by the reduced acclaim it received, and I was thrilled when it was announced for the Switch, but you have wrecked it
