In general, it is surprising what people will tell you if they know you're not the type to tell anyone else. The bad news is you can't talk about it, so you have to wait and hold your tongue when you see wacky posts. Everyone can't do that.
Pittree said:I came up with an idea of how to implement shoulder buttons (L/R) for both configurations while mantaining symmetry and ergonomics by adding a protective rim around the unit wich would hide the buttons and obviously protect the system from falls. I would like to know your opinion about it. And man, what a ride! We are pretty much designing a system now and I am willing to bet NX it is going to end up being nothing like it.
Is BOTW out yet? No? Then female Link can still happen. Nintendo has their own marketing schedule and female Link could be announce later so if they were planning to announce female Link later of course they would say theres no female Link.
Eh, its a E3 demo, they just might not have done voice acting on anyone but Zelda to just show off a voice at E3. Plus we already know some stuff was removed from the demo (the villages) so I guess all we can do is wait to see more.
If the NX is like a tablet, you don't need to switch the individual elements around, you can also just flip the NX upside down. Put the two thumbsticks up top for modern 3D games, have the d-pad and buttons below, so that if you turn the NX around, you get a traditional controller.Ok, I'm start to thinking how make a ergonomic mockup. So, I try to understand the standard format of current controls. They basic idea is 2 analogic, 1 dpad and 4 front buttons, with a curvature, like that:
That curvature is necessary to maintain the comfort for long playtimes in one of the 3 ways you need to hold the control:
Two hands in the 2 analogics. Most used for full 3D games.
One hand in one analogic and other hand in the buttons.
One hand in the Dpad and other in the buttons. The classic mode.
Most of the games you fix your hand in one of these 3 positions. You can push the others buttons but most of the time your hand will be fixed in that.
Now lets look at 3DS design:
They put the Apad and Dpad in line, but don't do the same on the other site, because they know it will make it bad to hold.
The truth is that, in a portable, the upper part in the best to put the buttons or analogic and the lower is a bad choice.
Sony try to make a tradicional desing with vita, but in the end, the small analogics don't help for long play times.
So, the best we can have in a portable, is put the main buttons or analogic in the upper part. But since it can chance for each game you play, how they can do that?
Simple:
and
The curvature to use different ways is not necessary if you ca always chance the main buttons or pads. Problem solved.
Asking what evidence their is that someone's claims have been proven true is resorting to personal attacks?
That sounds more like a compromise than a good reason. Sacrificing ergonomics and functionality for novelty. Thats why I cant believe Nintendo will do this. Just dont seem right to me if this is the primary control and controllers for the NX. I aint goin 🤐
You can't have been talking about me as I haven't been commenting on that particular issue, I just think it's strange to label someone as attacking just for asking a question.
Ok, no worries.
Well if its split we do. Theres a reason Nintendo patent the dpad. Its like every new rumor people automatically say, "Yes, this is good!" Like.. Nintendo been playing with cross dpad your whole life then all the sudden button Dpads are great? (ignore if you a playstation fan). If the goal of this NX thing is to achieve multiplayer through 1 portable and thats the end goal.. thats fine. I hope Nintendo win on that. But right now its sounds like an unrefined device.
Well why not just put no storage and put the price as low as possible? You pay how much storage you want to use
The NES gives you all the controllers you need to play with the max number of players. What you're proposing would be more similar to Wii U if the pad had detachable Wiimotes, and nunchucks were replaced with more Wiimotes.
