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

Phone reception is more important to me than human rights
Yup, Nintendo stays winning with every console, but one, selling less than its predecessor since the 80s and the WiiU lasting just 4 years.

lol

Maybe winning has a different meaning where they're from.

I trust him.
 
Even if the thing is fake, some of the reactions in this thread at the possibility of it being real are extremely over the top. So many baseless assumptions based on a picture and a tiny bit of info.

Why are people saying the Treehouse retweet means it's fake? These people may not even know anything about internal affairs, R&D, prototypes and such. I assumed they're basically just PR demo people that set up the stage at E3.

Also, people make mistakes. If it costs this person their job, that's sad. It could also be the other way around - Nintendo already knows about the previous leak, probably just throwing a curveball.

People are so eager to claim fake just because one person comes out and says so. There's more proof that it's real than fake at this point, but it is probably a prototype, as said many times.
 
You know what? I love my buttons but this looks pretty cool and sexy and I really want to see and feel how it works. At least there's one console manufacturer who doesn't make he same controller for 20 years.

Perhaps this is a controlled leak by Nintendo themselves. So everyone freaks out and Nintendo uses the awesome technology of morphed touchscreen buttons with haptic feedback to win everyone over.

I wonder if the photographer is trying to give us a little hint about what we're looking at with this HDMI cable in this photo?


And it was nice of them to show it under light in this photo. Is that edge where the screen awkwardly cuts off? Or is that the reflection of the lamp?

Do we have any other reasons to be believing that it is definitely a fake now besides Liam Robertson? I'm having trouble keeping up with the quickness of the thread at work!
 
I think a touchscreen controller would be fine if it is expensive enough to include the tech that would make it as good or better than physical switch solutions.

But I don't see how or why they would do that.

Holy crap!! It was real all along

That black color is sexy though, obviously not the final design, so we will see. I still don't understand the point of the mouse wheels on the back
 
The evidence is mounting but I really don't want this to be real. I don't know what I wanted Nintendo to do next, but it definitely wasn't this.
 
I trust him.

I hope you're enjoying playing as Shovel Knight in Smash Bros. and also Starfox Zero is having a meeting to decide whether or not they'll delay it on the day after the Nintendo Direct where its release date was confirmed.

The latter was especially bad because after the release date was confirmed t not be delayed, he backpedalled on it by mentioning a bunch of information he apparently knew all along but apparently chose not to mention until then.
 
What really gets me is that somewhere there is the dude who made this all up and he made the prototype and whatnot and he planned the whole thing and he figure out who to talk to and he used his little 3d printer and maybe a laser cutter and some other things too and he managed to get the whole internet riled up for it throwing arms and legs around like a crazy disco party back in the 80s when everyone was high on ecstasy or LSD or shrooms or whatever else.

I'm really really jealous.
 
Yeah I know, just a bad joke.

But that does bring up why he did it that way, instead of just clicking the RT button. What he did takes more effort.

It was a statement. It was something he had to think about.

woops.... bad joke sensor failed today
as for that RT, some old apps still use that method and not updated to quote tweet function
