Holy shit, it's almost as if what Nvidia said was actually the case.

Any other confirmations?

Hmm so it was a cost cutting measure. I was lucky enough to get the OG Shield last year that came with both two controllers and a remote, but I know that wasn't the case for everyone.

Nerfing the remote, materials, and specs on the contents of the shield (ports, etc) was so they could standardize everyone having both a remote and game pad.

Question is, besides the 2017 edition of the remote getting rid of rechargeable batteries, the headphone jack, and using inferior materials and builds. I wonder if there's anything else that differentiates it?

Like I know the new controllers have always on microphones for google assistant, but will that work for for the new remotes? Considering the pro comes with the 2015 remote
