Obviously, the controller was scrapped." https://kotaku.com/the-gamecubes-secrets-revealed-1642812416 |
''At this time, Nintendo was also beginning to dabble with motion technology. The original idea was to release motion sensing controllers for the Gamecube. However, due to the Gamecube's sagging sales, Nintendo executives feared that if released as a peripheral, the motion controllers would likewise fly under gamer's radar similar to the Link Cable. ''
