I like it . I think it will be more Nintendo in looks once final. I think its their console/portable combo. Take the controller with you or connect it to the tv with a small box. It does look like a PS vita design.

 

[Maxim726X]

Imma just close my eyes and ears and hope it's a non-required peripheral or something.

The reveal is going to be a hot mess. God.

If anything, leaks like this will soften the blow.

Could you imagine if they just whipped this fucking thing out at E3 for the first time? The meltdowns would be beyond legendary.

 

[mattp]

Lot's of crow gonna be served.

yeah i know what im having for dinner tonight

 

[grkazan12]

So, NX event in April? Similar to the PS4 unveilving before E3, we even had a Gaffer who confirmed an event before E3.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

After using iPad for *heavy* gaming in the last 3 years I have ZERO problem with touch screen buttons...

...however...

...WHO THE FUCK THINKS AN OVAL CONTROLLER IS ERGONOMIC ?!?

NINTENDO, YO, THERE IS A REASON EVERY SONY AND XBOX CONTROLLER EVER HAVE HANDLES AND ARE NOT OVAL!!!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ovalness of this shit NEEDS TO GO!!!

 

[EatinOlives]

It is not the same fucking tree guys

BUT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND

THERE'S EXACTLY ONLY ONE LEAF-LESS TREE OUTSIDE OF AN OFFICE WINDOW IN ALL OF SWEDEN.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

I wish Nintendo would just make a normal controller.

 

[SunBroDave]

If this is real, then the NX and maybe even Nintendo are finished.

 

[wild wild rice]

November 25...believe.

 

[Portugeezer]

.

Ubisoft too. You know they love early Nintendo stuff.

 

[Little Mons†er]

I'm sure they have the reveal all planned out, but over anxious leakers are messing up those plans.

I guess Nintendo is nearly close to revealing the NX but I agree, these leakers are ruining everything.

Imagine if we had no knowledge prior to the announcement of these controllers...

 

[AtomicShroom]

No physical buttons?

 

[Human 2.0]

If this is the controller I think I'll be giving this a miss. I hate to be negative but it looks like one of those terrible internet concept designs that get posted up on N4G.

 

[TheLegendOfCap]

The shape of it REALLY makes me think there's going to be an attachment that has buttons.

maybe they're not actual buttons but physical buttons that push down on the screen in a predetermined area that a developer can use, if they want want to use the attachment.

In this case it would bring the buttons closer to the nubs.

 

[BearPawB]

This looks cool just sitting there.

But once I put my hands on I am just blocking off space in the screen I want to see..
that is just a bad idea.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Looks interesting to say the least. I'm intrigued to see what exactly Nintendo's plan is for it (assuming it's real).

TBH, after the initial mind warp of the Wiimote reveal, this isn't anywhere on that level.

 

[Kuni]

Oh no... That won't do at all... I don't understand. This is the same as Wii U, the controlles will be so expensive and they'll...

Oh no... I can't go through this again.

 

[KingBroly]

Today is the day we secretly figure out that Detective Gaf ARE the Nintendo Ninjas of Lore

 

[Asd202]

Honestly, I feel like Nintendo is going to set a trend for the future shapes of smart phones.

Why the hell would you need 2 analog sticks on the phone?!

 

[MrV4ltor]

I want to see ALL of the grass tho. How dare Nintendo cover up part of the screen to prevent me from enjoying the scenery. Smh.

 

[DeCreeperHater]

Maybe this is just an indirect ad for Apple and Samsung (the macbook and TV)

 

[Marvel]

DetectiveGAF is scary

 

[oti]

The meltdowns at the reveal thread

Get PERCHed

OK now you made me laugh. PopGAF is OK.

Spoiler

For now.

 

[jroc74]

Detective GAF strikes again..

Thats some Batman type detective work there tho.

They should seriously think about becoming a superhero.

 

[TimeEffect]

.

You guys are jerks lol. Trying to kill the prophet

 

[LordOcidax]

How can this be real? Look at the size of that ear bud, now how the fuck did a grown up pair of hands hold it? Thumb on top and two fingers underneath? And how do you hit the mouse wheels? Or the no buttons go that matter. What is it 5 inches across? No way it can be real, even Nintendo can't be that fecking stupid!

Totally agree with you.. Is too small. Thats why i think is fake.

 

[Tabasco]

This could possibly work out for them when you think about how successful the DS was.

Nintendo shouldn't be taking a huge risk like this, though.

 

[DrROBschiz]

I wish Nintendo would just make a normal controller.

Its called the PRO and ill lose my shit if its not supported and thrown in the box

 

[Japanmanx3]

CAUGHT READ HANDED!!!!!!

 

[blame space]

why the hell is the screen an oval

 

[Cidd]

Surely this will greatly improve Nintendo's third party support....

 

[Aaronrules380]

I am firmly in the "virtual buttons are total shit" camp.

But interested in whether the "haptic screen buttons" rumor is true. I am not really sure how that is possible on a screen? But that would be the only way to save it. If some how you could get a button "feel" despite being a flat screen.

There are definitely ways to create resistance on a flat screen that could simulate physical buttons. The question is how well they work with the current technology, and how expensive it would be. But incorporating materials that respond to varying levels of force and become more or less resistant depending on the force applied is a very real thing

 

[Popnbake]

NX is about to make Wii U tablet look like a good idea.

I could have sworn there was critisms over Wii U games not fully utilizing the Wii U Gamepad.

What can they do differently here to try the same thing without the buttons??

I hope this isn't true or there's more to it.

 

[Henkka]

It is not the same fucking tree guys

Seriously. It's clearly a birch tree, like this: http://www.ossipercussion.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Finnish_birch.jpg

 

[Shifty]

See, I always wanted Ninty to see the light and switch to capacitive touchscreens, but this is too far.

Why you gotta be like this Nintendo? Can't you see I'm dyin' here?

Spoiler

It may be that I just finished a round of Laser Quest and am knackered, but I'm actually feeling pretty apathetic about this whole thing right now.

 

[Soulscribe]

Woah dude, ninjas are already on their way.

I am laughing so hard at this

 

[The Technomancer]

I genuinely think this might be fake. The fact that we have no shots of any software actually running on it is incredibly suspicious to me. Someone with access to decent fab technology is fucking with us

 

[10k]

90 minutes.

At least that's longer than the NX's lifespan.

 

[Cre8]

I wonder how much they charge for screen replacement if you drop it?

 

[Harmen]

It looks neat and I am sure some games will work extremely well on it (I like smartphone gaming done right and this is inbetween). But I do have to wonder what this will mean for, say, fighting games or some of their own classic titles, where d-pads are preferred by many.

And I also really wonder how annoying it could be if many games have wildly different button lay-outs. I never have to look at my dualshock because the buttons are always there, it is a reliable constant without any learning curve (after your initial use). In addition to this, I have to wonder how devs will add buttons on the screen and how this will work together with a game being displayed on your TV.

 

[Josh5890]

Woah dude, ninjas are already on their way.

It feels like GAF is doing the work for Nintendo.

 

[Cathcart]

No handles, eww. / No buttons, no buy.

Delete as appropriate.

No handles could just be the devkit version.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I like it . I think it will be more Nintendo in looks once final. .

Yeah, people need to calm down.

The final version will have buttons

 

[Doc Holliday]

I'm trying really hard to find a good reason for this design but I cant.

- More expensive, probably more expensive than the Wii U pad because of the odd screen shape

-No buttons

-3rd parties had issues with Wii U pad, this looks ever weirder

-Nobody is asking for this! Not the hardcore, not casuals, they dont give a shit. Who is Nintendo making this for? fucking bizarre.

This thing will last even lass on batteries considering the smaller size compared to the Wii U controller

Assuming this is real, this looks like a giant fuckup by nintendo. I still its fake or a weird prototype model.

 

[MrV4ltor]

After using iPad for *heavy* gaming in the last 3 years I have ZERO problem with touch screen buttons...

...however...

...WHO THE FUCK THINKS AN OVAL CONTROLLER IS ERGONOMIC ?!?

NINTENDO, YO, THERE IS A REASON EVERY SONY AND XBOX CONTROLLER EVER HAVE GRIPS AND ARE NOT OVAL!!!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ovalness of this shit NEEDS TO GO!!!

You do know that they design their hardware in mind or probably at least change it before production through feedback from devs, right?

 

[Z3M0G]

Looks like what I would expect out of a Vita2...

I never would have imagined that Nintendo would basically take a Vita and make it the next controller for their console.

I can't believe that Nintendo made a new controller even more expensive to produce than the WiiU's controller... like wow...

 

[dancrane212]

Knew those strange sticks led some credence to that Reddit photo. Now I just hope Nintendo pulls a Wii U and gives us real sticks for the final model.

 

[Galang]

Reminds me of a snow globe kinda, looks awesome

 

[Plasma]

I can't stand touch buttons, if they do go ahead with this I hope they offer a pro controller alternative.

 

[Man]

The tree in the reflection looks like a white Birch tree to me.
