I assume this controller is also the handheld. Didn't Nintendo reveal long ago that they wanted to integrate both handheld and console for the NX?

Genius
Why this devs have a normal Wii U gamepad instead of the devkit gamepad?
That does not look ergonomic at all.
Kinda?Smash would kinda suck without physical buttons, but this looks pretty cool.

12 years and Nintendo still doesn't get it.
Exactly this referring to my second point right? Sorry I've only just jumped in to this thread and I didn't even follow the other leak that much. If it's exactly like what is displayed in the gif then cool. I still think that design should be a handheld console, though, there's no point in trying the gamepad again, imo.
Because he/she is respecting NDAs

Ah, the reactions are an endless source of comedy gold. So many people freaking out when they know literally nothing about how well it might actually work. For all we know the haptic touch tech might actually work well and the controller might actually be fine to hold.
I mean, for all people complain about Nintendo's 'gimmicks', they at least actually work well when properly implemented in-game (unlike, say, Microsoft, which released two garbage motion control devices that nobody uses anymore), and any deficiencies are usually fixed up in revisions (mainly for handhelds, pretty much every handheld generation has had a major revision that is a massive improvement over the first iteration). I don't see Nintendo half-assing this one. If they're dropping physical face buttons and the d-pad, it wouldn't be unless they know the haptic tech works well enough to replace them. I'm withholding my verdict until we actually get hands-on reports with this thing, but I'm willing to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt for now.
It's not like screaming about it hysterically is going to change anything, honestly.
The patent has been granted by the USPTO today, April 23, and explains that the display makes use of an actuator to vibrate the surface of the screen and change its temperature in order to fool users that they are not touching a plastic display, but a material of other origin.
The actuator that causes the display to vibrate may move in different directions and with different speed so as to emulate smooth or rough surfaces, like plastic, metal, and glass. In addition, the change of the display's surface temperature also adds up to the "illusion", as it tries to simulate the thermal conductivity of the same material.

True. They look tiny compared to the Wii u sticks.Missed in all the madness over "no buttons?!" is the fact that the sticks look absolutely terrible for a home console.
Sad.
Sure. And I think a Nintendo with a good control focal point has proven it can be a big splash, like Wii and DS. Wii U was just a boring one that took a step backward and sideways. Functionally it was nearly identical to the norm found on other consoles for the last 20 years, though, so it wasn't a barrier.Wii U controller also had that big ass screen in the middle that was supposed to be used regularly in games.
DS4 has a touch screen and the PS4 is selling like hotcakes.
One was focal point, (or supposed to be one) one wasnt.
Ikea desk?
We should identify those headphones.
So what's the point of the new designWhat if we did something like this? We used the middle of the screen for important information, and the outside for custom controller layouts. Obviously Nintendo could add embellishments so it doesn't look so plain.
The right control stick, in this case, substitutes the A button.
This thing is obviously smaller than the gamepad, so the UI would look a lot better and would be tailored especially for that screen. Another user and judged the controller to be about 6" from stick to stick and about 8" across.
Doing it this way makes sure that the players view of the game isn't covered up by anything.
How can we add trees to this one?
I wonder how many Gaffers are becoming dendrologists at this very moment.
Nintendo... no!! You were the chosen one!
Where exactly can you see this? Can't make it out.

We don't know ANYTHING about this controller. Including if it's real.Kinda?
Explain how _any_ core game could work with this controller without gettng much worse controls.
