I hope not real, but I see scroll-y shoulder buttons...

 

[StoopKid]

Looks really cheap,so I gotta go with fake.

The wiiu game pad does too.

 

[HardRojo]

Looks fake. If not, then Nintendo just give me a regular controller ffs.

 

[cordy]

Dawg,

You gotta give it to Nintendo to come up with unique controllers. They gave us the N64, Gamecube, the fucking WII and Wii U controllers. If this is accurate then I trust them...but I'm not going to lie, this looks like one of the most uncomfortable controllers I've ever seen from them. I can't wrap my head around how it'll feel. It looks like a fake control that I made in Tech ED or something and judging the picture, it feels as hard as Nas's Ether track.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

lets hope interesting also equates to fun/easy to use, as well. Not only that, but this looks expensive, so if it's the controller, woof. Gamepad all over again. If this is the handheld, I hope it has good battery life and that games aren't a struggle to manage the controls.

if anything, i could be happy if those... things are microswitched "dpads" like the ones from the neogeo.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

It's fake.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Seriously-what?

 

[shandy706]

I sure hope it is fake!!

 

[GavinGT]

So I guess the controller itself would be the handheld portion of the NX, and then it can also plug into the NX console for home play?

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

I said 'whoa', which is kinda like wow.

 

[Galang]

The wiiu game pad does too.

Yup. I'm a fan of most Nintendo's controller designs, but the gamepad always struck me as a bit cheap looking.

 

[-MD-]

They better hope it's fake.

 

[maxcriden]

He's 43, so not that old.

What. You're making it sound like that wasn't meant to be a joke. 😮

 

[d00d3n]

The lack of physical buttons other than two shoulder buttons is extremely worrying. I really hoped that Nintendo's "gimmick" for NX would be to try and build a modern online infrastructure, unify mobile and non-mobile platforms and deliver on games, but I guess we will get a dysfunctional two button controller with annoying animated UI instead.

 

[ramoisdead]

Looks like a biscotti. I want a biscotti. Thanks, Nintendo.

Also looks fake.

 

[Blues1990]

That screen looks to be a smudge magnet.

 

[Mihos]

Let's get all the crazy out now, I love that stuff.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

You know what knowing Nintendo whether this is fake or not i wouldn't even blink if the concept was close to it

 

[crooked spin]

This is a fake created by someone who believes the illustrations in patent filings are in any way indicative of the actual design of the product. LOL.

 

[also]

These fakes and rumors are only going to get more and more crazy as time goes on. Come on, Nintendo, unveil the real thing already!

 

[3bdelillah]

i'd like to believe this is false because it's the worst thing i've ever seen -- but that patent tho.... surely nintendo can't be this fucking stupid? right???

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

That was a prototype, so the picture in Destructoid could be a prototype as well

It's also something literally no one outside of Nintendo's hardware design team in Japan and the highest of upper management would have ever seen before that interview.

We can play with "could"s, faulty comparisons, and non-sequiturs all night, but come on. It's fake.

 

[Jacksinthe]

It looks fake and I'm hoping it is. Yikes.

 

[Eevee86]

Judging by this comment section, NX is already dead if it does turn out to be real.

 

[viHuGi]

EDIT:

WTF LOOL me and my gf are dying over here laughing at this fucking picture LOOOL

 

[n0razi]

Looks fake... but this is Nintendo we are talking about, a desperate Nintendo at that.

 

[Twookie]

Lmao, looks s o shit tbh

 

[MUnited83]

It looks so bad and dumb









that it's probably true

 

[RedAssedApe]

DOA

 

[frankie_baby]

Do I spy scroll wheel shoulder buttons?

 

[Lady Siara]

Er, so if this does turn out to be real, why does it doom the NX? Touch screen controls with haptic feedback would feel immediately familiar to a group Nintendo is hoping to connect with, no?

 

[Blastoise]

I'm going for a wait and see approach.

 

[Firestorm ZERO]

Please be fake.

Controllers are already getting expensive this gen (PS4 due to touchpad and light, Xbox elite, etc). This will cost like $100.

 

[maxcriden]

Kinda dumb to make the entire thing a touchscreen and then kill it with analog sticks.

Yeah a complete touchscreen is great, but not good enough so here are some sticks just in case.

The unused part of the screen of the sides of the sticks make this look totally amateurish.

I can feel my hands cramping already.

I mean tbf this is exactly what the patent proposed. But as many have said, patents do not typically directly translate to a 1:1 description of a product.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

also, it's not 1:1 with the patent

the patent had
- wide shoulder buttons
- pentagon "analogs"
- handles

this thing has
- scolling shoulder buttons
- round "analogs"
- no handles

 

[L Thammy]

If this is the real controller, will it be the first one to be featured in hentai before its official reveal?

 

[ChaoticBlue]

This is a fake created by someone who believes the illustrations in patent filings are in any way indicative of the actual design of the product. LOL.

is this sarcasm?

 

[-Horizon-]

EDIT:

That's eerie lol.

 

[Trago]

Imagine playing Smash on this.

 

[Orbit_shadow]

That was a prototype, so the picture in Destructoid could be a prototype as well

Is it just me, or does the wii u prototype not have abxy as well? though there are wii remotes.

This might mean the buttons haven't been included yet.

 

[cordy]

It's shaped like it needs to be named by Helga Pataki.

 

[Sölf]

I don't know what it is. But I trust Nintendo that they know what they are doing.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

Look at the light source, it is probably fake.

 

[Akua]

based on my experience with photoshop, I can clearly tell this is fake just by looking at the pixels surrounding the analog sticks

oh SHIT

lock if old

Please be fake as fuck. Noooo....

 

[Pinky]

 

[Vena]

This look more like a handheld.

 

[maxcriden]

Nintendo surely wouldn't make another controller that costs so much to replace right?

I agree. I think that is pretty unlikely. They could use a design like this for a handheld. But I think that's not terribly likely either, necessarily, because then how will any kind of VC be compatible?

Also, paging # TheMoon to school us, wisely, on how unlikely an essentially physically buttonless controller or handheld is.

 

[Kathian]

I do want to know what on earth those Nipples are and how they work. Must be something to make them think it can replace a DPad.

 

[GavinGT]

Wouldn't the prototype be bigger than the real thing? You'd expect it to be really bulky since it would contain all sorts of stuff that hasn't been miniaturized yet.
