Treehouse guy's tweet is a wash and doesn't prove it one way or another

True he'd be fired for sharing leaked info, but he'd be equally fired for sharing speculative leaked info. The party line is to provide no comment and hope it goes away (for real and fake rumors)

It's likely that he just has no clue one way or another

No face buttons = no buy. This will be the first Nintendo console I do not purchase - not on launch, not ever.

To be honest, I am heartbroken.

Can you imagine playing Virtual Console games like Mario with no d-pad or physical buttons?

There are at least four physical buttons.

That said, I assume Nintendo wouldn't even bother to make something like this if they hadn't solved the issue of touch screen buttons not having appropriate tactile feedback.

I imagine a controller, like that...
Using the tactus technology to create a morphable touch-screen controller...
Add in an auxillary "shell" of sorts that will allow adjustable grips...

Could add up to something interesting. If, and only IF, those things show.
Otherwise, more Ningimmicks.

By the same token, they can throw all the stupid shit like this they want to at the NX, and as long as the console itself is competitive with the X1 and PS4, has classic controller support, and third party support; It's going to be everything the Wii and WiiU couldn't be.

I'm excited to see Nintendo present it.

Bravo for Nintendo. I imagined a console controller looking like this 3 years ago when we were discussing Next Gen.
This is giving me hype feels.

so guys, im from the future. here to give you some details on the 'nx'.
first off, the leak is real, but that's not the final product. although the final product is very similar, it is slightly larger and feels more pleasing to hold, even on its own. what you could compare it to is like a cross between holding a wiimote, and holding a phone (horizontally, of course). i'd say it's more comfortable than the wii u gamepad, but that's my opinion - some prefer the gamepad, but that really doesn't matter for reasons i'm about to get into.
now let me just say, i'm with you if you think it's not a good design for a controller how it is and how you see it right now, but as for the final design, you will change your mind... why? when you purchase the "NX", it comes with the console, core gamepad, hdmi and cables, 2 games (one of them is basically just for showing off the features of the "NX" itself), and the classic controller attachment.
now you'll probably be excited to find out that the core gamepad's design is how it is for a reason. while it is perfectly fine to use how it is, it's also designed for attachments. the attachment is comes with, the classic controller att., is exactly what you'd expect, it has those hand grips and is incredibly comfortable. in case you're worried about it being too bulky, it's not. also, the way the attachments click in is super satisfying, like more satisfying than the sound of putting in cartridges into the NES.
so there are a few other attachments, a couple of them are just for the feel, but others have special functions. There is one attachment i'm not going to mention, but i'll give you a hint: it is something that has been called expensive and gimmicky in the past. (btw, that's not to say it is in this case, nintendo pulled it off pretty well)
as for the other attachments, they're all pretty awesome. there's this other one that adds a totally new set of controls, so if you really love physical buttons and shit, that'll be for you.
speaking of buttons, the way they are set up on the core gamepad is really intuitive, i wont go into it much, but i will say that after using it, you wont care much about physical buttons. the haptic feedback really does its part. as for the shoulder buttons/scroll wheels, they feel so satisfying to use... this is a very satisfying controller in general. oh also, the circle pads have haptic feedback as well.
im too lazy to write anymore here, i'll answer just one question, and 3 yes or no questions. cheers



this sounds good!

Yeah. Just running some Hello World thingy on it would go a long way.

People would just say it's running Android in a 3D printed shell if it ran a homebrew hello world. Hey, even if it ran the true devkit BIOS, it would probably be the same.

But also, a lot of dev units have the serial overlayed on the screen as a HUD, like the PS3 devkit and debug firmware. Could be why they didn't turn it on.

To be honest, you don't even know if it's real and have no idea if they're using those crazy customizable buttons people have been posting all over this thread.

#TeamReal The morphing buttons thing could be cool. I feel like this console has been a rollercoaster of rumours so I'll be glad to see it finally over...

My only issue with it thus far is the ergonomics really. I would need to see the back of this thing. But Nintendo's always been pretty good about that, so I'm not too worried.
