That's why Link is right-handed.

It would be pretty dumb not to include some kind of motion sensitivity, it's standard these days and it just enables more options.

If Ninty are going to reveal the NX in September should invites not be going out about now?
That way they too can already have the controllers for possible future VR Nintendo device, "WiiMotes" for TV mode and motion sensors when playing it on portable mode.
The only thing I don't see is how do they work if you detach them to play on the small portable screen. Doesn't seem comfortable.

I knew they wouldnt waste the billions of wiimote on the world, but I didnt expect then to release a new version of it.
This is great News.
I am still surprised people think that one kind of controller replace the other... there a place for both.

Fingers crossed it's optional. No interest in playing a Zelda with motion controls again.
I am really curious to see what this looks like. Hopefully it's sleek and ergonomic... I just wonder. Plus whatever mechanism they have to pair all these things together, can't really change once they've done it on the first iteration of the device(s). That will be set in stone for as long as this console or concept continues. So it better be good!

Oh come on, it's fun. I like it.

My first thought too
NX will be loaded with batteries.Looks like Nintendo is getting ready for some VR goodness down the road.

I hope this is true! I just sold my Wii U to a friend (I'll get an NX) and my wife is really sad she won't be able to play Michael Jackson - The Experience. She's a huge MJ fan and loves the game. Hell, even I like it, and I'm a terrible dancer.
Also: I've been playing Metroid Prime Trilogy for years and I want to keep playing it.

"Supporting it" - I'm OK with..
Requiring it to drive or slash a sword, instead of being able to use an analog stick or button - that's something I'm not OK with.

They will shoe horn motion controls, because that will be the system selling point.

Given the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild lacks control gimmicks, I reckon it's an optional style of play. They'll have learned their lesson from Star Fox Zero to an extent.
At least I hope so or I'm buying Breath of the Wild on two consoles.

No, Vive controllers have positional detection, the NX will only have aiming and rotation detection. Unless the NX includes a couple sensors you can place in your room to detect position there's no way they can do it.
The Wii U version lacks motion controls. While there is a possibility that there will be a motion controls option for NX, it also has a possibility of traditional controls if NX controller can transform into a pro controller/gamepad configuration.
To nostalgic Nintendo fan boys. It's not a selling point to anyone else.
Good old Nintendo. Inventing motion controls all over again.

When we await a new playstation and xbox generation we only speculate about power and speed.

Well Wii supported GameCube controllers, memory cards and even Wii U had Smash branded GameCube controllers but the overall console brand never really crossed over with the GameCubes branding.
Motion control capabilities make total sense for the detachable controllers, and I've thought that since I heard EG's rumor.
Skeptical on the "advanced force-feedback" since it seems like people have said that ever since the speculation on what the "secret of the Revolution" was.

I'm not saying it is. Just trying to guess Nintendo.
But "nostalgic Nintendo fanboys" became that, playing games without motion controls.

i'm just hoping the battery isn't trash
They'd have been mad not to include motion controls in some way. It's been a defining feature of the Nintendo control scheme since the Wii. IR pointers are cheap as fuck and never a bad choice - just opens up more potential applications and avenues for developers.
What I don't want to see is a focus on this feature. They've made waves with this control scheme in the past, so let's see something new.

Anyone read the stellar "Five Games That Mimic a Urinary Tract Infection" article on the site too?
Anyway, wasn't this expected to a slight degree? Not necessarily groundbreaking news unless folks thought those features would be omitted due to the slight handheld/mobile basis the controller also purportedly is built around, but I guess at least this time the core of the article isn't built around an image that's a pure fake.

I think we already pretty much know what NX will be about, still i really can't see how will it look like, it should be a handheld device, but how will they manage to put all this things and features into those detachable pads while keeping it, hopefully, the size of a handheld device? Which to me shouldn't be that much bigger than a PS Vita

FPS are one of the handful of games that work better with motion controls...as I stated. Pikmin, which is a very specific kind of game that has no real comparison to any other, aslo works well, what else? And it's not like FPS are unplayable on keyboard and mouse or even on traditional controllers. They're very playable, I'd say the most popular FPS games today don't even use motion controls. And VR is nice, I guess. It's a different kind of experience, one that isn't particularly deep and is there for the occasional "Oh wow that's kinda cool...is that all there is?" reaction which I admit is a result of it infancy in the market and it will be a while before we see its staying power and what kind of impact it will have in the industry. Besides, it's not like we've gotten any indication Nintendo is pursuing VR with NX, have we?

That's what I had assumed they would be from the detachable from tablet patents. Some of the fan mockups were close to what I envisioned
I'm interested. I thought the Wiimotes with Motion+ could have done more, especially paired with hardware several times more powerful than the Wii U let alone Wii.
Bonus Wii U development picture, it's kind of what they envisioned a long time ago too

It's a screen with two Wiimotes on the side.

Not really, 3DS, Vita, phones and tablets all support motion controlles these days. Motion control doesn't mean your swinging your system around.
If Zelda was Motion Controlled, the Wii U Version would support it too.

I hope the branding will stay far from the "Wii" line.

Splatoon became a tremendously important IP for Nintendo in less than one year and in their worst selling console. Of course they are going to make one for the NX eventually, and thus some form of motion control needs to exist to make that happen. I like it. Every console FPS is better when it supports good motion control, in my opinion.

If it means the return of Wiimote shooters, then holy fuck yes!
Greatest tragedy in gaming for me was the abandonment of IR aiming shooters.

Why can't Nintendo just use a regular controller?
