[Destructoid] Leaked photo of NX controller?

This looks so terrible. Why would you want to remove the feedback and ability to muscle memory a a button, in order to stick a button inside a screen. It's like the worst of both worlds. Unless they're going to carve some physical feedback (etching, etc.) into the face of the glass, which sounds extremely not fun to play with long term.
This whole 'get rid of buttons' movement is entirely baffling to me. It's like having a pair of shoes without soles. "Look how inventive! They're shoes without soles! it's like you're barefoot, but you're wearing shoes!" What exactly is the point?
If the point is to make the interface changeable/customized to the game, I think there could be better use of development and research time. Unless it's only for the handheld, which then you would be constantly looking at the controller.

Haha noo I'm number 1. I will give it a rest for now and hopefully someone overtakes me before the thread is locked.
See you in April(?)

Can't wait. Every post, wink, joke or gif I post will be over analyzed as some hint towards nx info.

He never said any of that. Just FYI.
That's the great thing about headline culture. Everybody reads the clickbait headline, nobody ready the follow up corrections.

Shit's still the worst kind of fake, though.

I guess it saying [DESTRUCTOID] in the title despite them having nothing to do with the rumor does give it some credibility at a glance.
Too many small mistakes for it to seem real to me, tho.
I guess we'll see in (hopefully) April
Well, I think Nintendo always sparks a flame here on Gaf, especially when we're this close to a reveal of a new console noone really have any clue about.
Personally, I would really love to see a hybrid even though that's highly unlikely. To have Nintendo's best teams working non-stop on one single system, and to have great third party support like the 3DS have in Japan on the go, in the "same" quality as a home console..... I mean, I'm allowed to dream about that, right? The reveal will probably demolish my dream console, and I'll cry.. but still buy it at day one, even though I dont see why I need it.
Damn you Nintendo!
This has been discussed a lot.
And the nice thing is... you do *not* actually need a hybrid to achieve that goal.
Sad day. Hope your family and friends are all okay.
Or how well the guy was able to fabricate a fake controller.
What? That's the most ridiculous reasoning I've ever seen. That's not how credibility works.
In a month, we will know something. Keep your expectations low. It could just be the name and/or concept. It could be more, but then you can be happily surprised, Manuel.
I think savonnette was about the first pic, and the one with Wii on it is an entirely different, and definitively fake, pic.
I don't know, Orgen has spoken. Now I expect everything.

Well, obviously, considering Mr. Kimishima said that himself. Not with those words, but still.
Clarification: See the bolded.

But no one knows anything about the NX, LMAO.
If this is real, I hope it's only a prototype and not what the final hardware will exactly be like, or that there's some special feature we're not seeing in this photo. Because if not, I just don't see the point of releasing a console that's seemingly so similar to the smartphones their potential customers already carry with them everywhere. I don't think Nintendo could be that foolish, at a time when this console's release is so important to them, so I have to lean towards there being something more or different in the final product than what we see in this photo -- again, assuming this photo is real at all.

Orgen is the crocodile, and we are all the ATV.

Which comment are you referring to? Just that we won't hear anything more until the next FY? Not that I'm skeptical we'll hear something prior to E3, just curious.

Mr. Kimishima said this in the Q&A session of the Third Quarter Financial Results Briefing for Fiscal Year Ending March 2016:

Are you making a reference to this?
No, it's a common term used in japan (see Street Fighter x Tekken)
Nintendo has many ways to improve its next controller:
-adding a calibration screen for sticks
-make sure it has all the standart imputs, including analog shoulders
-make it mate! glossy plastic is a nightmare to keep clean
-Wii U pro controller battery life should be the standart
I just hope they adress to issues before thinking adding no necessary stuff

We are using this thread to bait insiders at this point.
There will be news at the next inverstor meeting, as small as these might be like projected profits/expenses and stuff.

After this very long wait I hope nothing of the NX in terms of what it actually is and looks like gets leaked before Nintendo is ready to reveal it. Nintendos been building this up since pretty much E3 2015 (at least if feels like).

Well they posted a financial briefing for the New fiscal year on April 27th or something right?
I wonder if inside sources and leakers will get a bit more bold once April 1st passes
Not looking forward to the day of April 1st though
I'm okay with another Wii U pro-controller as the main controller.

At the very least I expect NX to support all peripherals, addons and controllers they have made thus far.
Its not like it would be hard and since there is a rumored NX version of Smash 4 I can only imagine the GC adapter will be supported along with any other USB add on
That's so sexy

Wii Cross? Yeah, no, that's not going to happen.
The word cross has a lot of religious connotations. Nintendo wouldn't risk that kind of negative press. Despite the word having another meaning, it'd be like having the swastika has their logo. It's a symbol of luck, but mostly connected with the Nazi.
Also, as many have said, the Wii brand is most assuredly gone from their console naming.
I'm kind of digging that logo, though.

Remember these Wii U leaks? This was back when it was still Project Cafe. They seem legit and they looked exactly like the patent.
