GT - yeah lots of possibilities. Like 3rd party companies telling Nintendo to screw off because they don't wanna remake Splinter Cell/Half-Life 2/you name the franchise to use those possibilites. Like what Nintendo thought would be cool by using the GBA as a GC controller. Like Nintendo making more remakes of their old games with new names.

Sorry, I don't see it. I haven't enjoyed one of Nintendo's ideas since SNES - N64 games were too expensive (and most of em sucked), the DS touch screen is awful except for niche games, and I regret wasting money on my Game Cube except for Animal Crossing. Nintendo's just not in the position (aka 3rd/last place) to be getting way radical ideas off the ground.

ya, maybe before you post, you should read the whole article. the controller is wireless, the wire your thinking about is for the 2nd hand controller, which plugs into the bottom of the first.

im not sure what to think of this though. after all the hype, it is a let down, but in general, its a very interesting and new idea of play.

does this have the touted controller moving technology, when we sway the controller left right front back, there is feedback inside the game?

Also does this mean Nintendo will get lesser third party games because of this controller

IT will have Titlt sensor technology, some sort of laser point technology, and some other stuff. So it may look simple and stupid but it does look promising so god, stop being such pessimists.

wait i dont understand.

Is this going to be like the ONLY controller, or is it going to have a normal controller and then this 'remote controller'?

I mean it looks like a very lovely remote, but I like to use both hands when playing.

"Nintendo also mentioned that the controller stick could be slipped inside other, more conventional controller shells, dance mats, bongos, or other peripherals." (From EGM)

Interesting concept. Being able to slip the "remote" into more conventional-looking controls and even more peripherals, while still remaining wireless...very cool.

To be honest, I was mildly shocked when I first saw the photo, but the more I read about it and look at it, the more I want one. Which is more than I can say about the PS3 and 360 setups. Kudos to Nintendo for having the extra-large nuts to bet their future on straying from the pack on conformity.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Malisk · Posted

      I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
