NX Controller Rumor [Up5: Original was fake, and thus this is too]

There's this thing called a TV that you will be playing the games on.

Well as usual you've summed it up quite nicely.
My main concern outside of what you've listed is that this shape seems a little too angular. I don't want to play on a controller that I can't hold naturally, and this really looks like it'd dig into my palms.
Well you'll get The Division which will undoubtedly bomb on the system.

It'll get bigger like the Gamepad did.
Man, Ninjas, all of you.

So does this thing even connect to a tv?
SNES emulators etc... are going to be pure shite on this thing.

Endless needs a Judas Iscariot tag.
Fair enough, but what about the original image that shows game play on the screen? I know you mentioned you didnt think the controller would show gameplay. Also - the patent that is nearly a 1:1 of this picture shows gameplay being shown.
Also - if it isnt backwards compatible.. damn. That would really hurt IMO. It would be the first console that nintendo has made since the NES that didnt have some sort of cross-compatibility or backwards-compatibility.

That's one way to make sure I'll skip the NX version of Zelda, at least the Wii U has buttons.

My guess is 1980x540 based on earlier measurements.
My guess as to Nintendo's strategy:
Go after mobile game kids with something that looks and feels like an upgrade to what they are already used to. It will be the best way to play enhanced versions of Nintendo's mobile games. Even kids who prefer mobile games complain about virtual analog sticks. Haptic buttons are fine for mobile gaming, some sort of pro controller can offer dpad and buttons for old people.
This device can play many games on its own, but you can also buy a base unit with more power and a disc drive that uses this thing as a controller and lets you play PS4/Xbox One ports.
Wii U games can be ported to this but the gamepad image will be much smaller, hopefully they've figured out a precise enough stylus that you can still make Mario Maker levels on it, but if not they could modify that game to use analog sticks and it would still be decent, the real pro level makers would keep their Wii U.
Expect ports of Smash, Mario Kart 8, Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, probably displayed with the corners slightly cut off.
Nintendoland will never be ported off the Wii U.

I could deal with no physical buttons; I could deal with the terrible form factor; I could deal with the horrible-looking substitute for the analogue sticks.
But all of them at the same time? No way.

That would certainly be a great way to show faith in their latest gadget.

Sooooo, what would the handheld look like? Or is this the handheld?
I personally don't mind the lack of buttons, I think intuitive controls should have as little buttons as humanly possible.
But why is the whole controller a screen though? I don't want to look at my hands when I play on my tv...

I was being sarcastic lol
Never cease to amaze me detective GAF.
As Benny would say, don't forget to make a list of all the people who said both! Seems like a hard task tbh.

Share your source with the rest of the class?
my point is no third parties have ever wanted to waste resources to port their games to nintendo's weird gimmicky hardware, even if they're not "forced" to take advantage of it. like always, nintendo seems to once again say "fuck third parties, we're doing our own thing."
knowing nintendo, the NX will also be lacking in power since the controller is expensive af and they'll want to keep costs down. an underpowered console is even more incentive for third parties not to even bother.
in this day and age, nintendo first party titles alone can not hold a console afloat. you NEED those big third party games on your platform to sell boxes.
somehow, after the wii u, they still haven't learned. it's baffling.

Why is there and HDMI port coming out of the top though?
Is this thing the actual console itself? The leaker said its the controller for the console, but is the controller and the console itself one in the same?

....
Would it kill them to just make a normal console on par or more powerful than a Ps4 and call it the Nintendo Entertainment System?
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, this is Nintendo after all, but I am heavily skeptical right now of anything that relies on touch screen BS as this seems to. We'll see!

They had issues with the system's power and architecture, which led to the issues of it selling bad. That and the messaging.

It's a dev kit and probably has a detachable grip so nintendo can test different handles without having to manufacture a different device every time.....

Holy shit. How?
Let's set all business reasons why this could be a catastrophe (production will not be cheap) aside:
- I'm OK with the shape
- I'm OK with the big screen
- I'm OK with the sticks and the mouse wheels
- I'm not OK with no buttons unless this is some kind of Harry Potter magic and they feel like real buttons (which again, business nightmare)
Just reveal it already Nintendo, you're losing control over the message AND TOU HAVEN'T EVEN REVEALED IT YET HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE

As much as I enjoy leaks it serves them right if they're caught.

I mean, that's just a patent, so it might be intentional misdirection on how they might use it (Ie, hide the actual purpose they wanted this for), or it might just be a completely irrelevant and easier to understand way of showing the idea. Remember, the patent was for a freeform display. No reason to add info relevant haptic stuff to the freeform display patent

Kimi is on the phone right now calling the Ninjas

But can we narrow it down to that exact tree, or could it be one of the other two? When the Rainbow 6 Siege team breaches the room, they'll want to make sure it's the right office.
Lmao it's really happening.
No matter how many times they say they'll change and understand consumer expectations, they still refuse to get it.
Unless this controller has some tactile touch screen technology that far surpasses what we've seen demonstrated thus far, it's looking pretty squarely like a recycle bin classic.
