Anyone not excited about this is lying to themselves.

I think it looks garbage honestly. Nintendo needs to go back to traditional controls.

Think what you want, but Nintendo isn't built on innovation. It's built on powerful franchises that transcend the medium, like Super Mario Bros and Zelda (especially the former). I can assure you that if the NX has only this controller (no buttons), it will crash and burn.

 

[Anteo]

So now everyone's gonna believe this Unseen 64 guy?

They will believe anything that's not a buttonless controller

Nintendo is the greatest roller coaster of all time. Nintendo to have roller coasters at Universal confirmed. Lol

 

[Mr. Smiley]

So Liam is unreliable?

 

[KojiKnight]

Dude is often full of shit but it appears he's accurate this time.

You've all been had.

Based on what...? His word? His word you just said is often full of shit? This is nothing, it's less than nothing.

 

[Josh5890]

So...an NOA treehouse employee tweeted this thread.

Uh.....?

what the fuck's going on?

This is turning into the greatest soap-opera in video game history. They could do a reality show about the development/hype of the NX.

 

[Clawww]

Dafuq is this

"wii cross"

lord no

 

[Doctre81]

Of course it's fucking fake

No real leak would have a CONFIDENTIAL label on the device

Why not?

 

[Pancake Mix]

From Liam Robertson (Unseen64)

Tweet

CONFIRMED 100 percent real!

This crybaby is unreliable, ignore him.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Every time I see a leak with the words "Do not share" or "Confidential" on the product, I automatically assume it's fake.

 

[Aaronrules380]

treehouse members are on the low end on the company totem pole. they wouldn't know as much as we do anyway.

Treehouse members also handle localization and marketing, so they probably would have an idea of what the system looks like. Unless you think NoA hasn't even begun to start thinking about how they'll market the system in the US. You'd need some sort of marketing strategy ready by the reveal, which means people there would have to know what they're marketing earlier. And a reveal is almost certainly happening between April and e3

 

[Ashodin]

Where is the proof this is from Massive? A tree?

The bestest tree.

 

[-Horizon-]

If it actually is fake, the thread meltdowns here and detective gaf will live on in infamy.

I don't even care if its real or fake at this point. This is reaching BvS review score thread levels in OT.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Where is the proof this is from Massive? A tree?

same tree...according to this thread lol

 

[Sammy Samusu]

I REFUSE

 

[Farsi]

Wait,I looked at one of the patient links that was posted here. This is actually pretty cool how it works. Tthe buttons are raised from within in a screen, so they still act like traditionally buttons, but just deformable inside the screen. That is awesome!

Greatest controller of our time.

 

[MK_768]

treehouse members are on the low end on the company totem pole. they wouldn't know as much as we do anyway.

They wouldn't tweet about this though. No way Nintendo would allow it lol. I guess we'll see what happens to the employee and his account.

 

[RipperGrim]

That design looks so shit that for Nintedno's sake it better be fake or else they are going to have a hard time with their next gen console.

 

[MrSaturn99]

WHAT'S GOING OOOOOOOOON

 

[Comfort Jones]

Wait,I looked at one of the patient links that was posted here. This is actually pretty cool how it works. Tthe buttons are raised from within in a screen, so they still act like traditionally buttons, but just deformable inside the screen. That is awesome!

That sounds like absolutely nothing that I want to play around with lol.

Nintendo just needs to give us something or the speculation, and rage, will never end.

Nintendo needs to go back to the console archetype that nearly killed them in the first place. Ok.

 

[Archer]

awesome

 

[khaaan]

Is the ride over? Can I get off? plz?

I'm willing to ignore GI claiming the design matching what they heard.
I don't even care whether or not that IS how the controller ends up looking, I just need a breather.

 

[BRocknRolla]

If this has all been fake...

This is incredible...

It also makes me think there really are no insiders for Nintendo on these boards. Seems like they could have shut this all down. Maybe they just wanted to watch it burn I guess.

 

[Ferr986]

Not saying its true or fake but some guys are really holding on on that guy tweet.

Whatever, this is being fun just for this rollascoaster

 

[The Last One]

Wait a moment, if there aren't triggers we will have to lock on the enemies's using a touch button in Zelda U?

 

[ReyVGM]

I'm afraid now.

I played Twilight Princess on the GC back then, and I'm glad my first experience with the game wasn't with the Wiimote. While they got sword motion right with Skyward Sword, in TP is really wasn't as good.

I was willing to skip Zelda U and play it on the NX, but this no-button controller has me worried I might end up ruining my most anticipated Zelda in decades if the haptic feedback on the controller is not perfect from the get-go.

Remember, the Wiimote needed the Motion + accessory to make it work like it should have been since the start. So I'm worried this controller will have a 'lesser' haptic feedback that will not work or feel 100% right from the start.

The NX went from day 1 to a wait and see approach. Hopefully E3 reactions will bring good news.

 

[Kodaman]

Oh boy what a ride...

[DrROBschiz]

What the fuck is even happening right now

 

[Gormless Noodle]

So now everyone thinks it's fake and is relieved only to be smashed through the pavement when the real thing is even weirder.

 

[C-Drive]

I seriously think this is a controlled leak and the reveal is coming within the week.

 

[Obliterator]

Wait and now that Nintendo employee deleted his Tweet about this thread?!

What the hell is happening lmao

 

[L Thammy]

What if it's fake and real at the same time?
Like some kind of Schrodinger's controller.

 

[MaximumSpider]

I REFUSE

STOOPPPPP

 

[Toxi]

So Liam is unreliable?

He's so unreliable mods banned threads based on his rumors.

 

[seady]

I kinda like it. Maybe better if it's bigger. Maybe will have NXXL version.

 

[Davey Cakes]

If these pics are fake, they're impressively fake.

I'd tip my hat to those who put in the effort.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

I missed the first 60 or so pages of the thread, but looks like I got home from work just as things are getting good.

*grabs popcorn*

Now this is actually kinda cool.

 

[philion]

PROVE IT'S FAKE INSTEAD OF "MY MATE SAID..."

 

[Snore Crime]

I have vague enough feelings about this that I will be able to gloat towards whoever turns out to be wrong.

 

[MilkBeard]

From Liam Robertson (Unseen64)

Tweet

I hope we find out eventually that this is a prank from Nintendo headquarters. Would be a riot!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Retweeting is not breaking NDA. The tweet doesn't mean anything definitive, and if it does we have 0 way to tell.

Why would he retweet a legitimate leak as an employee???

They don't do shit like that.

They're practically scared to pee the wrong way over at the big N.

 

[jroc74]

Wii X is the name folks.

 

[Just_myles]

Wow the last few pages are amazing(real pic, Noa staff tweet, debunked). Just like the BvS review thread.

DetectiveGAF on point today!

 

[eFKac]

Looks hilarious but at least visually nice unlike previous Nintendo hardware handhelds looking like toys.

 

[daveo42]

So a fake? If that's the case, sounds like good news for Nintendo. While it would have been a radical departure from the more traditional layout, I'm not sure touchpad tech is there yet to wipe out the need for physical buttons on a controller.

I eagerly await Big N revealing this exact same controller at E3 in a few months.
