Sigh...That thing looks ridiculous. FFS...

 

[Psychological Intellect]

 

[TurboButts]

First impression is that this not something I would like to play a video game on.

 

[Brinbe]

RIP buttons

seriously, no one wants this garbage.

HOW DO YOU FUCK UP BUTTONS, NINTENDO???

HOW? God fuck, how do companies continually ruin what should be a slam dunk industry.

 

[maxcriden]

Because the Wii U is pretty much dead?

The 3DS is on its way out, too, MrV. Why couldn't this be next spring's HH?

 

[JCX]

I'm not worried about ergonomics. Both 3DS and Vita are uncomfortable for me, so I just use grips if it gets that bad.

 

[MrV4ltor]

Didn't Iwata say something about how physical buttons were important and that's the reason why they won't port stuff straight to mobile? I'm still really sceptical.

 

[EhoaVash]

Looks like a handheld

 

[Fawk Nin]

Definitely looks more legit than the previous photo. Doesn't look all that comfortable to hold.

I'm intrigued though.

Handheld or controller is the question?

 

[Milly Osworth]

I think all the little buttons on modern controllers are pretty lame, but not sure if this will even work.

 

[The Last One]

No buttons then? My God, Nintendo...

 

[georly]

What language is that keyboard on the laptop for?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Why not just post a picture with a game running on it ? Or a 20 second video.

 

[otakukidd]

Still saying this is real cause no big news agencies followed the other picture and they usually will post anything. The only reason they wouldn't is cause they are under NDA. They don't even have to say it's real just post hey look this could be a thing.

 

[scitek]

Let's say this is real for a second, and it's a controller for the home console.

Are you expected to just memorize where the virtual buttons are, or do you only play the console on the controller?

Presumably they can move between games, so it's not always the same spot.

I guess you could try to hold your controller below the TV you're looking at so you can see both at once until you learn it?

Yeah, this seems like an awful idea.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Im calling it the Nintendo Bubble

because thats exactly whey Nintendo is stuck mentally

 

[Japanmanx3]

Well...now I

 

[Vibranium]

Please let the Pro controller work with the NX.

 

[Nimby]

Hopefully the final version has grips.

 

[Oddduck]

I wish they would show the backside. Or a better perspective of the top (triggers)

 

[KingJ2002]

Trying to force Nintendo's hand in giving up information on the NX with these leaks.

...

Looks legit... just need to see it in context or else it's just a screen with nubs.

 

[moggio]

Why isn't Nintendo doing exactly what Microsoft and Sony is doing?!

 

[Linkhero1]

I don't want to believe.

Haptic feedback is presumably being used according to the same rumors, so you'd get some sort of tactile feeling and resistance when you touch the buttons on the screen

 

[lcap]

Looks like a more elliptical Vita.

 

[bobbychalkers]

I do like how sleek it is. I'm willing to give it a shot provided that Ninty knocks it out of the park with its proper reveal. My only worry at this moment is D-pad space.

 

[N.Grim]

I like it (if it works)

 

[Clawww]

glossss

 

[3rdamention]

Ok, I believe the previous thread's images then. These look legit and tough to fake. This is real isn't it?



I am intrigued, that is for sure.

 

[Guymelef]

Lack of buttons...
That's a stupid decision...

 

[Kuksune]

I'm not sold on the idea just yet. Will wait for more info before i make a judgement.

 

[TheMagician]

Any significance that the Wii U gamepad is in shot?

Makes it more 'real' to the audience.

 

[notaskwid]

The materials and build on that seem way too nice for this to be a real Nintendo product

Have to agree with this, looks too much like an actual modern adult thing and too less like a fisherprice toy.

 

[injurai]

Hopefully the final version has grips.

For some reason I read this as thigh gaps.

 

[ViciousDS]

god damn it nintendo.....between this and the stupid iteration consoles......uh


This E3 is looking to be a fucking shit one and I'm only looking forward to none of these things hoping to be there.

Fuck the future of gaming.....except for PC apparently

 

[mikefrails]

Assuming this is legit then the button feedback will make or break the controller and possibly the entire success of the console.

 

[Meffer]

For people who have tried this, how good is it at replicating "real" button presses?

It's not real buttons.

 

[Blackquill]

Still better than the GameCube controller.

WOW THERE

 

[shibbs]

Oh damn, this look pretty real.. I hope nintendo knows what they are doing.

ps: I hate touchscreen buttons

 

[wild wild rice]

Its supposed to be NEW xperience right?

I imagine any games made for this will be played very differently

Why? There will be face buttons on the screen that can match traditional controllers no problem.

 

[GaussTek]

Where's the B Button in this one?

 

[Ladekabel]

Is the Wii U Gamepad on to the right part of a dev kit? If yes, than this is clearly a fake. No developer owns that.

 

[Teeth]

What is the purpose of having screen space around the sticks? Why have an inch of screen to the right of the right stick and left of the left stick?

Who thought of this? I'm completely baffled as to what the point of this is (if it's real).

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Hopefully the final version has grips.

And buttons.

 

[Jotamide]

R.I.P. Nintendo

Pretty much. The peaked with the Gamecube's controller, everything was downhill from there.

 

[McHuj]

We need some news sites to start digging and trying to confirm this.

 

[phantomspiker]

My hands are cramping just by looking at that thing.

 

[Guevara]

Starting to seem kinda real.

 

[Christof]

Dang,

not having held it, it seems awkward to hold

 

[ecosse_011172]

Looks legit and terrible.
Utterly pointless, tech for tech's sake.
