Good point. If it were real, then wouldn't the screen be showing more of the image and not less?

Maybe it has some sort of weird periscope property to it where you can hone in on certain parts of the main image by moving it around parallel to the TV and zooming in.

Damn already?! LOL.
I'm all for innovation, but I don't think I like physical joysticks that cover part of the screen.

I was a skeptic of haptic feedback until I tried it on the Steam Controller. It does take getting used to, but I love the trackpads on the controller and the customizations they offer to the player. I have no problem using them as a dpad, mouse or buttons. Now I am not sure how it would be on a glass surface, but on the trackpads it feels and responds wonderfully.

Would be very strange if NX used, if going for mobile chips, something older than a Snapdragon 820 that has just launched and is fabbed at the more efficient 14nm process. Well, but this is Nintendo after all, who knows.
What was the frame rate of that UE 4 demo on a Snapdragon 800/810?.

That's incredibly vague and does not actually mean anything.
It could be a scrapped prototype. Which is definitely something that Nintendo would not want exposed.
e: I would not take this comment at face value because it is intentionally cryptic and seems designed to make people freak out. It reminds me of when lupinko was talking in riddles leading up to the reveal of UMvC3 and everyone was making wild assumptions and losing their shit.
Great spot whoever it was. So either this fake is god tier when it comes to detail or NX is nicely powerful and has some sexy tech going on wit the controller.
Colour me cautiously-hyped.
Better comparisson, cut from the video, the "NX" version looks downgradeda bit with shadows.
This makes it seem even more real
Maybe the console has a default button overlay if the developer doesn't use a custom one

Well I'm IN for the most innovative controller ever.
Imagine a game of Find Mii where you have to tilt the controllers gyroscope to reveal the Mii hidden underneath one of the sticks.

Well, if we look at it from a business perspective, Epic's growth path for UE4 is convincing Japanese handheld developers to jump on board, so presumably their primary interest would be in making their engine work well on the handheld.
If they put their efforts into that, and this is a console that they have low expectations for, it would be simplest to just port the same demo over to show that UE4 works on the system.
You instantly sell the idea of "You can make handheld games that scale up to the console if you want." while also having to spend less resources working over two demos this early in the game. It's at 60 FPS as well so anyone who wants to target that framerate can see it runs sufficiently.
Or maybe the console is based on mobile parts and thus isn't especially powerful, and the mobile demo was more suited. There are a lot of potential scenarios.
And yeah, it could just be a handheld.

Still, not better than proper buttons. haptic is rumble 2.0.

There's something way off with the lighting and shadows as well. It looks like it was an offscreen picture taken from another device and pasted onto the supposed NX device.
Another thing that bothers me about the NX Photo is that the picture gives no indication via reflections that the free form display is covered in glass, which to my knowledge is a requirement of Sharp's FFD tech. There would be at least some reflection evident in the photo if that was what we were looking at.

Nice find, that's pretty convincing IMO
Not sure if this has been posted yet but the image on the screen is from about 6 seconds into this tech demo.

Jesus. The cropping!
Considering that 1/3rd of the screen is going to be covered by thumbs, the usable field of view is pitifully tiny. I can't see this being real. One you think that a tech demo would use a wider fov to emphasise the benefits of the ultra wide screen, not give us postage-stamp-o-vision that's cropped not only vertically and but also horizontally.

Seeing that Unreal tech demo video, it is concerning that the image in the NX photo seems to be stretched out, rather then the 'middle area' being the full screen with the rest being a bigger fov. Like this:
I doubt a dev would waste their time configuring what is likely just a hardware showcase to take advantage of the system's features. Save that work for their own games.
I also think the "leaker" just used the video as their image source, and that's why it's simply stretched out with no real effort, so there's that.

Depending on the resolution.
What am I looking at???
Iwata talked about using an iOS and Android approach, meaning a single architecture/os that can be used on multiple form factors a la iPhone/iPad/Air/Pro/Watch never mind the myriad of Android form factors (S7/Edge/Note from Samsung alone) so we could in theory see many different approaches from Nintendo. The main problem being, they probably couldn't just drop and use free form displays on a whim as I'm sure it isn't free to use resource wise in regards to the extra screen estate and could cause fragmentation funnily enough not unlike Android.

My best friend once said he really wanted to be able to play games on the side mirror of my car. I thought he was just high.

Actually considering the nature of the demo and how expensive the chip is, I'd say this is a handheld, unless you're in to $250 controllers.

Is that image not moving though? Could be a few seconds out if it's zooming through that landscape or something?
Edit: Or its just a tech demo slapped on the devkit. So isn't necessarily tweaked to take advantage of the extra screen space perhaps?

I knew those were some UE4-ass rocks, lol.
Was looking at the UE4 tech demo and I skipped over that one because everyone kept saying it was the controller and the thumbnail is a house.

what type of analog sticks are those? They look odd.
I've got some magic beans if you want to buy them.
Of course. At least it means NX probably supports UE4 (of course it had to, especially if they were getting DQ11)

This seems more like really bad game design ideas
You really should let the developers just surprise you instead of thinking about bad game design options .Seeing that Unreal tech demo video, it is concerning that the image in the NX photo seems to be stretched out, rather then the 'middle area' being the full screen with the rest being a bigger fov.

powerful if based on Snapdragon 820 yes, if is an 800 model, well, a Xiami Mi5 would already be 3 times more powerful.

The gamepad likely will have sensors in it, so the fact that the image is 'cropped' might suggest the pad acts as a POV camera?
