Hasta La Gadget!

Some 322 of the 497 children still in custody have parents who were deported, making it more difficult to reunite them.

Nintendo has been all about the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate hype for a while now. It has revealed new characters to the game, introduced several new items, including a GameCube style controller and a limited edition Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Now it looks like Nintendo will offer a new system bundle as well.

French retailer Carrefour has apparently listed a special Nintendo Switch package that includes the game, along with a limited edition system and JoyCon controllers. It’s not a great image, but it looks like the system will come with a console and JoyCon controllers that feature the Smash Bros. cast.

Nintendo is keeping quiet about a bundle for now, but if this is true, it’s no surprise. Nintendo has previously said that it has several bundles in mind for the holiday season, and this is a game they are hyping heavily. This would be the first time that both the JoyCon controllers and the system would have a matching custom design, by the way.

We don’t have any other info at the moment, like where it will be available. Hopefully, it will come to the US.

Growing up in my house, we had a system sort of like this exosuit that would let you take over someone else’s body. Our system involved grabbing the wrists of my younger brother and making him smack himself whilst asking “Why are you hitting yourself?” The Fusion system works in a very similar manner, only the person taking over your body uses a VR headset and the surrogate being taken over puts on a wearable exosuit.

Developed by engineers at Japan’s Keio University, the Fusion system allows the surrogate to be remotely led by a pair of robotic arms with humanoid hands. The real use for this is to train people from a distance on how to do things. It sounds weird and reminds me of the flick Gamer, and of the recent movie Upgraded where robotic systems allow someone to take over your body.

But if I had one, I’d use the robotic arms, remote controls, and humanoid hands to smack my surrogate around. Or better yet, I’d connect robotic arms to the surrogate’s wrists with Velcro straps then use him as my remote-controlled puppet.
