Hope this means they're looking at bringing all their games onto this platform past and future.

Rumor: NX controller supports Wii-like motion control and force-feedback.

Watch it be called
Wii + U
Motion control are great. Made the wii so .uh fun, created the VR basic intersezione and in any case in portable mode will probably gamepad like so I would be happy
This is a rumor I hope is true. As much as I enjoyed the Wii U one of the biggest mistakes Nintendo made was not putting a Wii remote and nunchuck in the box. The other was not improving on the design. Between the Wii mote and the pro controller they had all bases covered in terms of control input. Hell they could have kept the gamepad if they still wanted to do the second screen thing.
Improve the Wii remote design beyond the Wii Remote Plus by making it even more accurate and adding more buttons so on the button front it's more on par with the pro controller and all controller excuses disappear and you keep pointer control for shooters, strategy games, motion based games, etc.

Well, if they're used as pointers, then I'm in for an NX day one. The Wii remote is my favorite controller and if they brings those back with some updates, then I'm all for that. I don't even care about "waggle". Just to be able to FINALLY have the possibility to play more mainstream games with motion controls and pointer capability would be like a dream come true. Playing Resident Evil 4 with the remote was awesome. I would love to play games like Batman, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, etc. with the remote. I don't care about the haters, bring on the remote games!
Why can't regular controllers be split, like Wii/VR, with IR pointers?

I bet the Sub Terrain Mole Queen was able to burrow from underground into Ninty's headquarters to get this information to us.

So, if this rumour turns out to be true... you'll have a portable system that can be plugged into a dock so you can play on your TV with traditional controls that are fully removable and can be used as Wii Remotes, while also supporting current Wii Remotes, but isn't backward compatible with the Wii, and is meant to attract casual smartphone and lapsed Wii gamers.
This sounds really unfocussed to me.
And then there's stuff like this. They should just leave all the Wii stuff behind for NX. Just walk away. It's done.

Welp... Color me even more excited than before! I personally loved the tech behind the Wii-mote, so I'm happy to see something similar return. The idea of haptic vibration for a handheld sounds absolutely awesome as well. Can't wait to see what the NX really looks and plays like as I'll buy on day one no matter what.
Is this another nail in the coffin of the NX = portable + home console argument? I'm sure dozens of Twitter users are currently browsing LinkedIn to prove why it isn't!

Makes you wonder, innit...

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Motion Controls without VR in 2017 is about as backwards as it gets.

This thing is gonna be weird. Like, imagine playing Just Dance on portable mode with this with motion controls. How does that even work?
I also have a bad feeling the reveal isn't until October, just too quiet.

Yeah I'm hoping for Wii VC alongside GCN VC.

I like this one
Cool, more shit I have to buy! What do we say, 20 bucks a piece?
Everything is pure speculation. Speculation right now is that it's tablet sized.
Everything is bollocks until Nintendo actually reveals the NX, though.

Meh. Not a fan of motion controls, so would probably put me further into wait a year plus and see how it pans out mode. Unless it's clear from the get go that motion controls will just be for games like Just Dance, Wii Sports type of things and not put in most games like on the Wii. I hated that shit in games like the two Zeldas and Mario Galaxies.
If this rumor is true, you're only a head mount away from "good enough" VR.
Maybe like remote play on PS4/Vita, some games won't work.
But Just Dance is available on phones and tablets, so maybe it will work as a monitor and people play with their phones or Wii Remotes...or detached controllers.
From my post in the first page. The 3 styles of play already apply to LoZ: BotW if this is true.
The detachable controllers attached to the NX is the Wii U Gamepad style which is the same as in the Wii U version of the game.
Detachable controllers separated from NX is Wii Remote style and could end up as an option in the Wii U version unless you need motion controls in both hands for a reason.
Detachable controllers attached to a module is the Wii U Pro Controller mode when the NX is docked. So there may be a Wii U Pro Controller option in the Wii U version.

I feel like anything noticeably larger than Vita would be a HUUUUUUUGE mistake for Japanese market.

Now I am worried that they are going to require certain attachments and typical Nintendo short supply them, such as the case with the Smash adapter.
I hope these attachments are not the new Amiibo.

Does BoTW not even support gyro aiming on the WiiU gamepad?
I like this one
yo if the NX is the return of dreamcast-like fishing games
then let's fucking gooo
I would sincerly love to see the Wiimote / Nunchuk setup again, honestly. Been replaying some Wii games recently (Sin & Punishment 2, Wii Sports Resort, the first Metroid Prime Wii-make), and I've realised how much I miss both the possibility to have your arms in several positions, as you feel best, contrary to the standard pad, as well as the potential of IR aiming / motion-controlled gameplay.
540p screen powered by a tegra says no.
Edit:
Of course it depends on how you define "good enough". Ive read that even an OG PS4 With PSVR isnt that great.
Isn't the Xbox One the only system with a "regular" controller? Even the Dual Shock 4 has a bunch of stuff packed into it.

Sony is about to release the PS4 Neo because even the PS4 isn't "good enough VR" by their metric I guess. Google Cardboard level VR is still achievable I guess! Oh and I don't see Nintendo making a VR headset on a level with PSVR with the quality of screen it would require.
I suppose having these motion controls was a necessity if the thing was gonna be a "can play ALL Nintendo games" device, but boy is this thing gonna look fucking unwieldy as a result.

I would be so happy if this is really the way things work, which seems likely! I'm betting we'll see themed controller attachments for NX in the same way we have Mario themed Wii-Remotes. Same functionality but different styles. I'm also willing to bet that whatever "module" gives you a pro-controller mode is sold separate for at least $20. The more I think about this the more it sounds like a Nintendo product. I'm fully convinced.
pics?
You can make anything sound unfocused if you try hard enough.

I wasn't at all referring to roomscale movement. Just the vibration functions.

What if its a tablet book ended by wii controllers? Like this whole time its just 2 wiimotes that form together as one controller or can be turned individually for 2 players?
The Wii is the only Nintendo console I never bought. (I borrowed a friend's to play Skyward Sword because I had to play Zelda) I hated the forced motion controls/pointer. Even being a huge LoZ fan I didn't enjoy Skyward Sword because of those things.
So I am extremely against this if the rumor is true. Unless they make it optional. Like shake the detached motion control in BotW or if you're playing with an full controller then just press Y. Having different options for different people is perfectly fine with me. But don't force the motion controls and pointing again Nintendo. Please!
