Looks slick but awful to hold and control for my hands. Definitely Nintendo's doing then. #teamreal
Let's say this is real for a second, and it's a controller for the home console.
Are you expected to just memorize where the virtual buttons are, or do you only play the console on the controller?
Presumably they can move between games, so it's not always the same spot.
I guess you could try to hold your controller below the TV you're looking at so you can see both at once until you learn it?

Every single time lol
It's a repeat of the Wii remote reveal. I don't know how this will pan out, but just seeing a controller design and declaring one way or the other is too premature.

Man, it looks nice but...it looks like they took the gamepad and gave it a smaller screen and less buttons. Why.

It's the label that says, "CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY," that really sells it.

Lack of buttons seems disappointing for sure, but let's not jump the gun yet. There could be something pretty clever going on in this regard.

No buttons? Who needs third party feedback I guess.

Haptic virtual buttons, bring it on!
This is the controller for a home system?
As in the last thread, if this is true...what is new about this? I mean, what's the new core concept?
As is, superficially, this looks like a simplification and design refinement of the WiiU concept.
Functionally it's a Wii U controller - now with less buttons.
Nintendo claimed it would be something totally new, so I don't know how this squares with that. The same asymmetric TV/gamepad gameplay concept, respun, again?

Any significance that the Wii U gamepad is in shot?

If it only uses touch screen buttons, then it will be unusable for me. Cannot get used to it on a phone, not going to adjust for a console.

Its supposed to be NEW xperience right?
I imagine any games made for this will be played very differently

It is funny how people dismissed the patent. I figured the patent Nintendo published was legit. Surprised they are going all in with no physical buttons.
Perhaps the final version will be thinner? This could be a prototype.

Looks like a mp3 player from 2007.

The materials and build on that seem way too nice for this to be a real Nintendo product
It was probably an early prototype, which explains why some agencies were more than a little annoyed that it was leaked, because it looked like doodoo.

Prodding at a sheet of glass, pretending like I'm pushing buttons felt disgusting for the brief period I bothered trying it on a smart phone. I'm sure it will be just as shitty here.

I mean, the rumors suggest that they aren't taking buttons away, just using digital buttons combined with haptic feedback. So really the difference is going to be heavily dependent on how well the haptic feedback simulates a physical button if true. If it works well, it might be really, really cool since it might even let you do stuff like personally configure button layout on the controller
Ahh yes, Bayonetta 3 will be so cool to play with those controls.

That really was the controller all along. Omg.

It's... kinda sexy?
I dunno if I want that for a controller but maybe if it was something else...?
Please be a prototype.
oh damn
that also explains my infatuation

I assume Nintendo will tell devs to include a 'standard button layout' and then offer different layouts if devs want to; just speculation on my part

I don't know much about haptic technology, but I'm guessing best case scenario is you can "feel" exactly where the buttons are.
It looks terrible to play on. I'd rather have the oversized Gamepad than this tiny little piece of dung. Hoping it's not final. There's a reason why I always wait for the XL version of Ninty's handhelds.
EDIT: Actually, I take it back, it doesn't look THAT small but the shape looks horrendous to hold. Still hoping it's not real

As in, Third Parties will ignore it again?

Do you see the wii u gamepad right next to it? That thing wouldn't fit in the world's longest pants pocket.
