I DONT UNDERSTAND WHATS HAPPENING

 

[JetBlackPanda]

that uh... looks bad.

 

[Owensboro]

Honestly, I just love when Nintendo has their back against the wall because the craziest shit comes out of it. If this is true (a big IF), I can't wait to try it for myself. Remember when everyone thought the Wii remote was batshit insane?

 

[Frodo]

Yep.

I'm ready for this!

Nintendo, announce it already!

 

[diaspora]

That surprisingly looks premium and well designed. Better than I thought. Not Fisher Price like traditional handhelds out controllers.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I really cant believe that the one big publisher still making platformers is getting rid of buttons.

 

[serenewarfare]

For people who have tried this, how good is it at replicating "real" button presses?

The "taptic" engine was never made to do that. I'd imagine it would work well based on how it feels using the Watch, but there's no way of really knowing until it's tried. Apple never used it to replicate physical buttons.

 

[Palocca]

That looks really uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time. And where the hell are the buttons?

 

[Chris Metal]

Has that WiiU pad on the right been abused to hell. Looks cracked/damaged.

 

[moggio]

What is the purpose of having screen space around the sticks? Why have an inch of screen to the right of the right stick and left of the left stick?

Because that is the shape and size of the screens they bought.

 

[Xion_Stellar]

All I want is 1080p console with a Traditional Controller and a functional Online Account System is that too much to ask?

I REALLY hope this is fake.

 

[Insolitus]

Worst kept secret.

 

[Markoman]

NOOOOO, Nintendo has lost me once again. Well, at least the shape inspires alternative usage. Now, if NX is only on par with Xbone spec-wise...good luck Nintendo, you're going to need it, all of it.

 

[KingBroly]

It looks so cool!

Why does it look like there's someone's face in the reflection of the controller on the right side?

 

[SDCowboy]

Why they just not make a better Wii U gamepad?

Or better yet, just a regular controller.

 

[cory64]

Even assuming the haptic buttons work better than any existing non-physical solution, I just don't see it for ha.

 

[EVIL]

So...how the hell did Nintendo figure out haptic feedback?

Its not magic...

 

[Samurai G0SU]

portable nintendo system that can connect to tv's with it's hdmi output?

feel like the hands will cover a lot of screen space. HMMM the future is here haha

 

[Neoxon]

Pls Nintendo. Don't take buttons away from me.

Like people have said in other threads, I really hope Nintendo's gimmick/innovation doesn't degrade the precision of the controller (as compared to a regular dual-analog controller).

They'll probably let us use the GameCube Adapter for Smash.

Anyway, what of the handheld?

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

I'm not really bought into the idea that this is what the final controller will be like, but this thing looks crazy enough that I'm totally into it.

 

[Professor Lich]

Question: Have we seen the underside of this yet? Couldn't there be buttons somewhere else on the controller? (If this is one.)

 

[nycgamer4ever]

This can't be real because that looks stupid as fuck! if real I have no clue what Nintendo is doing with this.

 

[Jaruru]

exactly what I thought. show us the whole package (games). can't wait for E3 guys

 

[Milestoned]

It's real, isn't it? I mean, I have no problems with virtual buttons for basic things in smartphone games, but for a dedicated gaming console? Color me cautious.

 

[VeryGooster]

I need a hot take to tell me how to feel

 

[DrROBschiz]

Remember when millions of people played Wii sports and then bought an Ipad?

 

[SuperDowns]

It looks legit, I wonder how it feels.

 

[Twookie]

Please dont nintendo, this looks terrible, touch buttons can never replace real buttons :-(

 

[big fake]

Nintendo, what are you actually doing? Trying to kill your company? I mean this is gonna do some real damage. Why?!? JUST WHY?!?

 

[3rdamention]

The scroll wheels on the shoulders, that could also act as buttons, is interesting. You could do a lot of cool things with that in game.

 

[injurai]

Why does it look like there's someone's face in the reflection of the controller on the right side?

Because that's how reflections work.

 

[Vaga]

Hopefully the rest of the industry will not follow and leave nintendo in the dust. This is beyond repair.

 

[Azalean]

Knew that shit wasn't fake.

 

[digita1alchemy]

Seems like it could be real, but who knows. I can't really judge it until Nintendo explains how it's supposed to work.

 

[jonno394]

I like it. No buttons concerns me but I'm sure I'll adapt If this is true

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

That looks really uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time. And where the hell are the buttons?

Maybe on the back :O

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Haptic feedback is presumably being used according to the same rumors, so you'd get some sort of tactile feeling and resistance when you touch the buttons on the screen

I'm not super clear on haptic tech, how could the controller differentiate between intentional button presses and attempting to locate the "button" in the first place?

 

[Bots are better than you]

Also, freaking LOL at all your overreactions in here!

While it's looking a lot more like the real thing, we still don't know ANYTHING!

Not if this is the handheld or the console controller, not what's in the thing, HELL NOT EVEN IT'S BACKSIDE!

But you guys already know everything about it, just by looking at the pics.

This is some pure comedy gold in here, someone hand me the popcorn!

 

[orioto]

Of course it's usless to remind people it can still be real.. while being a prototype that is not used in the end... We'll continue to pretend it's the definitive NX controller for 100 pages

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Please be the handheld

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

Nintendo fully embracing the mobile future??
I love it

 

[Aaronrules380]

Where's the B Button in this one?

It was a digital button, the screen presumably works as a touch screen (and has haptic feedback according to these rumors to simulate real buttons), so the button would be a part of the screen. Honestly, I think if the haptic technology is far enough, this could be really, really fucking cool and allow a lot of cool things, like reconfiguring button layouts on the controller so that you can customize the layout to your own tastes and hands

 

[burn this down]

I direct you to Exhibit A, the N64 controller.

I mean, it was confusing to hold and poorly layed out, but at least it was comfortable when you held it. This is like a new level of bad.

 

[Guevara]

The bad part about this, assuming it is real it totally blew the mindblowing reveal.

I mean, just imagine that controller all lit up with Super Mario Galaxy 3 fire.

 

[netgrimoire]

They better really communicate why this is a thing.

 

[Euron]

The Age of Nintendo is Over

 

[StoopKid]

Barber: what you want fam?
Vita: just fuck my shit up.
Barber: say no more.

 

[killroy87]

Logic and reason has no place in a thread like this. Hype and speculation only

 

[898]

I'm not judging but Nintendo knows better, right?

 

[DrROBschiz]

Please be the handheld

FUCK no thats even worse!
