Beautiful. And pretty true.

A savonette is the metal cover of the watch pictured above. If the controller has one, then that explains the sticks as you cannot have them poking out too much. It also begs the question of whether or not the controller is also a portable or whether the guy took a picture of the 3ds successor and not the home console controller.
This thread is huge and it has probably been brought up, but the sticks look like they could use the Touchence tech.
And yes, the bezel is quite nice. While many posters here seem to fear the lack of buttons, I think once it is fully explained, it is something that many people would be compelled to try. Especially if haptics are a go.
"I'm a developer" is hardly revealing.
What's more: there is a huge difference between getting yourself in trouble and throwing your entire studio under the bus by revealing something which could give away which devkit it is.
I actually still don't think it's real, fyi. I jus think ots a good fake.
Not sure why you're getting so annoyed tbh.
The gimmick was never WiiU's problem.My problem is that I don't see why they think this would respond to the problems Wii U has. This uses almost exactly the same gimmick. Except now the screen takes up more of the controller.
What if they're one and the same thing?

I actually think this visually looks pretty cool.
My problem with it isn't that I think the idea is stupid, nor do I think the controller looks ugly or uncomfortable.

The only gameplay change really over the Wii U is customizable input interfaces but same old problem as always - if there are no raised surfaces for a regular input method, then it's an inferior input mechanic to a physical button.
I think something like this (quick and dirty editing job of your image) would make more sense, there's no reason for the waste.
This would also solve the problem of the thumbs being slightly in contact with the screen while using the sticks. (Unless you arched them, but that would probably be uncomfortable)
It would still leave space above the sticks for context-dependent touch screen buttons + HUD + effects.
I thought that's what he meant at first but it looks like he's french and Savonette is also french for bar of soap, which fits the conversation.
Why do you say that?He is probably German.
It's unclear but I'm in the handheld camp.is this supposed to be the home console controller? I thought it was the handheld console?
Why do you say that?
You are right. I disagreed with this logic because a new handheld could potentially have the power to pull off Wii U games, but most likely at a lower res.
Exactly. Nintendo doesn't follow the herd.
The reddit conversation was about it looking like a bar of soap before he mentioned the Savonette word though, and he used another French word for applying Scotch tape. anyway it's round & smooth with a face cover on, whatever it is.It's a German word for that kind of watch.

Hmm. You'd lose the ability to have context sensitive buttons below the sticks though. Which seems to be the most obvious application to me.

If true I don't have a problem with it.
It looks COOL FUNKY AND UNIQUE

Maybe Canadian! I strongly suspect Ubisoft anyway if it's real.Maybe Belgian?
What if they're one and the same thing?
Honestly I'm starting to lean towards real.
The design of the sticks feel too unique to be fake; but they make sense for a handheld where you don't want protruding things getting stuck when you pull it out of your pocket/bag.
Gunman Clive Maker Says NX Controller Picture Is Real!
But having the context sensitive buttons below the sticks would be prone to what I mentioned about slightly touching the screen.
When I'm playing my 3DS I notice my left thumb often touches the console body and D-Pad below (mostly with upwards movements). On a touchscreen that would probably be recognized.
So has this been verified as real? Or is it just a really good fake?
I'm going to reserve judgment til we get a true reveal and I can use it myself, but I have nothing but concerns for that controller.
Like....how on Earth am I playing Smash with that?
Hmm, guy on Reddit sounds fairly legit. Implying they could try get more shots/video tomorrow. (Doubt it)
So if it's fake he/she is good at making mock-ups as well as acting
