Pls no...
Not big enough screen

Definitely interested, haptic buttons sound cool if it's like that technology where it literally feels like a button and the screen can display materials such as Velcro or sandpaper, and it actually feels like it.

Those patent drawings were filed after the initial Wii U announcement.

NX 3rd party anime games confirmed!
It really, really isn't. When have they ever made a console/device without a d-pad for example?
I would bet on this being a fake created by someone with the mindset "lol nintendo so crazy, always the strange controllers!". In fact Nintendo's controller's have always made a lot of sense. The Wiimote got a lot of hate early on but when they first showed it, my reaction was "of course. that makes sense.". This controller would need a lot of explaining before it could start to make sense.

If this is real, how much does that controller cost? And then to bundle a modern console with it? Unless the console is in the controller which would be quite the feat.. Still I don't get it and then how do you project the game screen to the tv without stretching the image considerably.

Nobody else sees ET in the shadow on the upper part of the controller screen? I think we were trolled.

There's no way anyone in the world is releasing a modern controller without grips. That and the other 30 reasons this is stupid and fake.
Haptic is legit...but no where near primetime especially in that form factor.

If it's real (IIIFFFF), I hope it's way more comfortable than it looks.

Sidenote : And that doesn't appear to be the unreal engine demo. I just rewatched the vidoe and that is not in there.

Well, no. No buttons and no sticks would, but we're getting pretty close here.
I don't know, man.
Looks relatively representative to the final product to me. If this is really the NX controller, it'd be hard for the patent to be that much simpler than the final product, given how simple the controller is, design wise.
Of course I do, but he mixed it with other rumors, too.
And when has a product ever matched 100% drawings from a patent application?

considering the reaction over the last 5 or so years by core/enthusiast gamers to mobile/touch screen games, this shouldn't be a surprise. If this thing is real, what it makes perfectly clear is that Nintendo is going the unconventional route again, which has been boom or bust for them (boom with the wii, bust with the Wii U) but hasn't exactly garnered a ton of support or loyalty with hardcore gamers in either case.

finally an oval screen
A mistake.

The fact that this looks like something nobody would actually create and a looks like a fake troll concept is the same reason why I think it could be entirely possible from Nintendo and has an air of legitimacy about it. Lmao.

I don't know what to think. THESE DAMN PROTOTYPES. I also remember thinking that the DS4 was ugly as fuck, but that was just the prototype.

Where is the thread for that patent again? I want to know what it can do if real.I don't know, man.

Ok detective NeoGAF,
We need to scour Unreal Engine 4 tech demos and see if we can find the matching background.
We have already noticed virtual a and b buttons, along with virtual arrow keys around the far right stick.
We have 62.22 at the top of the controller that's thought to be a framerate counter or I'm thinking a "build" counter for the demo or controller.
The bright white light is almost certainly a flash back from the camera.
We have 5 things that look built into the controller at the bottom of it. Horizontal slots most likely speakers, the pinhole for mic, the circle a camera, the square black area possibly an infared or 3D camera or black duct tape covering something they don't want shown?

Bingo.
Dude, there's a difference between that and this.
The Wii U gamepad is clearly based on an engineering drawing and is a patent for the device as a whole, whilst this shit is something someone cobbled together in 2 seconds to demonstrate a single concept. They're not exactly compatible.

It looks like the patent concept.

Man, I hope not. We need a traditional controller for a traditional, gimmick free system.

Like seriously does ANYONE know who they are, like Idriss2 turns up nothing but wikipedia articles about an old Moroccan ruler.

The original orientation looks better in my eyes, gives a better idea of the width imo. The more I look at this thing the more I like and am intrigued by it.

that Wii U controller design patent were after Nintendo's unveiling of the Wii U, not before. The Wii remote design patent was also after the unveiling of the Wii. Same for a bunch of their design patents.
Like I kept saying before, this is following way to close to a non-design patent that only described specific functions about a free form display and not the actual look of the controller.
Huh, must've missed that.
But it seems like this covers way too many of the recent patents specifically.
waits for tomorrow to show the cloud cube dongle
tbh I see Idris Elba promoting an upcoming Nintendo first party shooter
