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

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!

Exactly!
Also I bet this is the handheld.

concept gets an b+ from me. analog sticks and at least two physical buttons eliminates a number of issues with touch controls.

ergonomics at this second (never having held it) gets like a c- from me. it doesn't look comfortable AT ALL.

for reference I feel Nintendo has largely gotten ergonomics right over the year.. and love playing with the Gamepad.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

The Age of Nintendo is Over

Well that image is ripe for a photoshop of the unit as Elmo's head.
 
I'm hoping this is the handheld for that reason. An injury dulled my sense of touch so I can't feel buttons or rumble well.

I mean, how would real buttons be any different in this case? We saw from the first screenshots that there is still a visual cue for button locations anyways, so it'd just come down to learning the button locations like you would on any other controller.
 
Serious question, did we really expect Nintendo to kick the second screen design? Their entire Wii U back catalogue depends on it.

Wait a minute, next to the game pad it looks massive. Next to the laptops touch pad it looks shorter than a 3ds. Feels off, no?

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

Ahh I see. Was under the impression that the button was actually there, seemed that way from the pic lol.

I agree, I get it's fun to have all these knee-jerk, big reactions but this one reason why it can be detrimental to have hardware leaked. Nintendo has already lost the audience in the discussion even if it isn't real.
 
as funny as it would be for the NX to be a hilarious disaster I have a hard time believing these aren't fakes. why are they shot at a weird angle? get some close up shots and tear downs or shut the fuck up.
 
I'm just now realizing that the folks wanting this but with physical buttons had something fairly similar for a while now.


If the NX takes off, the Vita's grave could not be more desecrated. Poor thing.

I love how everyone here already knows how this would feel, even without touching it or knowing if it's a real thing. Messy.
 
It'd be crazy if Nintendo just thought "hey lets just make a sleeker version of the Wii U, maybe we'll get it right the second time around".
 
So, basically, it looks like the Controller itself, will basically be the portable version of the NX itself?


I know the rumors were that the System and a Portable version would run the same games. So it looks like, if you buy the NX, you will be getting a portable version with it, in the controller.



That scares me for price. I wonder if the controller will be a seperate purchase? One that works with NX and plays your games on the go, but the NX system actually includes a controller without the screen? I am just speculating.
 
It looks much higher quality than that last thing we saw. So that's good.

I still think it looks like it has terribly uncomfortable ergonomics.

Is Nintendo physically capable of putting out a system that doesn't have some kind of twist/gimmick jammed into it anymore?
 
Pretty sad to say that I find the gamepad in the shot much more appealing than this thing. The controller will have to do something pretty amazing to make me forget about the lack of real buttons. I'd also consider it a pretty incredible disappointment if this is what Nintendo gives us after the failure of the Wii U. "You know that thing people hated last time? Let's do that again."

Trying my best to reserve judgment and to wait until we hear what it actually does, but this seems pretty real at this point and what I see is not appealing.

I'm going to reserve any opinion on real buttons if true until we get impressions of the haptic feedback, because depending on how well that works, this could very well be superior to physical buttons and allow a lot of cool things as I've said

Could easily be a fake. If they have the controller they should have the console too, right? In that case, why didn't they show the console?

I really hope this isn't the design they are going with. Games like Mario, that require precise platforming can't work without physical buttons. We've all tried playing nes games on phones and that's just not the way to go.

I like it. Way smaller than the Gamepad, and I'm happy that someone finally took the steps to remove buttons from the controller. Everyone else wants to stay in 2005, that's their decision, but give me the new shit.

i thought this was supposed to be the handheld, since the reddit thread says "controller" then this should be for the NX console?
