I'd totally buy this dumb thing

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Tbh it doesn't matter what Nintendo does, their next home-console has a high probability to flop anyway. So better go on full crazy and hope it makes some waves in the industry! Kinda like this mindset, even if this is fake i hope they can surprise us with whatever they come up with.

 

[Primethius]

This looks so incredibly dumb.

Which is why it's probably real.

 

[7DollarHagane]

This looks really fake.. It's March, time for e3 fakes.

 

[Griss]

It's just so fucking weird and looks so authentically 'devkit-y' that there's a part of me terrified that it's real. Like, I genuinely believe this could be real, and I'm usually mega-cynical.

Odds are against it, but...

This is probably just paranoid delusions caused by NX info withdrawal.

 

[Inumbris]

What the deuce?!

 

[KeigoNiwa]

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

Also looks fake.

I love this!! Also, I don't mind the controller... But I really wish they'd maintain a rectangular shape, what's the advantage with an oval?

 

[Serenitynow]

Would it violate NDA to say what it ISN'T? Obviously people on this forum know, I wish they would just kill this thread if this isn't the actual controller.

Not suggesting anyone risk their job, btw.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

I wouldn't be surprised considering this is Nintendo.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

Nintendo isn't that crazy.

 

[Sheentak]

I can only see the b button. Is there a A X or Y button?

 

[DryvBy]

I think I found a few controllers at the store earlier.

 

[udivision]

EA Sports is in talks with Nintendo => Football Controller => Madden's HandEgg 2017 launch title?!?

 

[Malus]

EDIT:

Well I'm sold.

 

[Obliterator]

There's no way this is real........right?

 

[Revolutionary]

Hope it's fake cuz lol

 

[gimmmick]

Didn't think they could do any worst then the wii u controller...

 

[Archaix]

Well, assuming it's real

 

[Neoxon]

Eh, I'm not sure if this is real.

 

[Azalean]

Doubt it's fake. Why would someone spend the time and money to make a real looking controller just to troll peole?

With that being said, I hope it is fake. Looks awful, although it could be a dev kit unit and the retail version will look different.

 

[jax]

People are quick to forget prototypes exist.

 

[PSqueak]

Seriously, this has gotta be a fake made based on the patent pics.

 

[gamz]

If it's real it looks nuts as hell. I'd buy it.

 

[Ashodin]

That looks like a rearview mirror.

It's a goddamned rear view mirror

 

[Mikey Jr.]

EDIT:

Hhaha, holy shit. I totally see it now.

 

[radio_apeshot]

I'm so thirsty for NX news that I even want this to be real just so I know for sure that we have something confirmed among all the rumors and speculation.

Spoiler

It does look real bad, tho

 

[BibiMaghoo]

The design just doesn't make any sense. Why would you pay for, build and display games on screen that will be covered by your hands? What incentive is there to do that, for anyone?

That image looks pretty real to me, which makes me think it is.

 

[_PsiFire_]

Notice the scroll wheel triggers.

 

[Brofield]

Watch Nintendo definitely scratch all plans of an official E3 conference reveal if they read these comments just to avoid loud boos from the crowd lol

Heh.

 

[queequegs__coffin]

I don't really now what to think. I guess initial impression is, eh? Hard to really see or judge it out of context of whatever else comprises the NX.

 

[-Horizon-]

NDAs would probably prevent anyone from mentioning anything related to it.

 

[Kouichi]

I think it's real and I want to try it.

 

[MikeE21286]

That looks.....bad like not even aesthetically but conceptually.

 

[Balmung421]

If this thing is real, I wonder how those nubby sticks feel, and how it would feel in your hands?

Would not be surprised at all if this is the controller to be honest.

 

[Archaix]

Doubt it's fake. Why would someone spend the time and money to make a real looking controller just to troll peole?

Have you met people? I'm assuming it's real because if you don't, there's no discussion whatsoever to be had (even if the only "discussion" is running away screaming at the sky about how Nintendo has lost it) but it's not because I can't imagine somebody would have faked it.

 

[BeforeU]

the fuck? that's fake as hell lol

So I take it you're new to the Internet then?

The analogs will likely change.

 

[Cross-Section]

This looks so incredibly dumb.

Which is why it's probably real.

I'm somewhat headed down this line of thought as well. It is incredibly modern Nintendo, once you start thinking of the likely marketing buzz-phrases associated with it.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

I want to know how someone managed to get a straight-on bright lightsource from over the screen and yet still managed to have an ambient light shadow going off the back of it. The nubs aren't even centered, what the hell angle is that being taken at?

Fake.

Nah. Totally possible.

Wide-angle lens (like a smartphone) distorting far nub. Strong main light source is consistent with what you'd see with a window that goes up high near a ceiling (common in offices) reflecting in the screen with the shadow behind the object.

Lighting on the paper note is consistent with this, which would be an easy detail to overlook if fake...

[enzo_gt]

Looks dumb enough to be real, and expectant of Nintendo riding that second screen experience wave further into the abyss.

 

[D4Danger]

Doubt it's fake. Why would someone spend the time and money to make a real looking controller just to troll peole?.

welcome to the internet. enjoy your stay.

 

[FZZ]

People are quick to forget prototypes exist.

It's too late breh

We just need to wait for it to be officially revealed and then try it out. I know at E3 this is going to be the first thing I'm lining up for.

 

[Nekofrog]

part of me really, really, really hopes this is real just so i can laugh even harder

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I sincerely hope that's fake.

 

[Tookay]

I believe this.

I'll withhold my opinion on whether it's a good idea.

 

[Stilton Disco]

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?

They are never getting the market they lost to smart phones and tablets back. Just aping touch screen controls doesn't magically make this appeal to the young and casual crowds that made the Wii a success. All they'll do I'd further alienate the enthusiast market that they'd apparently rather self destruct than make a system for.

Assuming this...abomination...is real of course.

 

[Silent Hill]

It's fake.

Spoiler

Please be fake.
