Microsoft's agenda of removing the buttons from Nintendo controllers just keeps going on. We thought they were done with the GameCube controller without buttons, but this?

Well played, you bastards.

Cause either

1. It's fake and he was laughing at the thread.
2. It's real and he was helping confirm that for goodness knows what reason.

If it's number 2, he could have some punishment, which lead me to believe it was case 1.

Either way, I'm pretty sure Nitnendo employees are not allowed to engage with stuff like this in any way.

He also says...

oh it's certainly on par [with Xbone]. what's exceeding is the controller's capability. i guess i may as well just say that it has vr. support, there's a vr headset attachment for the core gamepad. unlike the current vr. headsets, this one is probably the smallest out there, even more so than the google cardboard. of course that's not all, there are plenty other attachments and motion controls. but yeah, it's definitely on par with the xbone.

I like how this is representative of how Nintendo misses the point of some big events in technology.

Nintendo guy 1: "people sure do seem to be playing a lot of games on cell phones."
Nintendo guy 2: " I wonder why?"
Nintendo guy 1: "Buttons! they must hate buttons!"
Nintendo guy 2: "I bet they like obscuring their viewing area with their hands."
Nintendo guy 1: "I have a cunning plan about how to turn our consoles around!"

The NX was Iwata's idea, wasn't it?

From his famous GDC keynote;

Secondly, we must always weigh challenge and reward. How much work and frustration a player is willing to withstand depends on the personality and skill of the payer. Core gamers have a huge appetite for challenge and casual gamers want less difficulty. At Nintendo, we believe it is our responsibility to make games for all skill levels. And that includes people who are not playing our games now.

I realize the quote is old, but he was clearly still not ready to put down the idea of appealing to mainstream gamers with touch gameplay if this is real. I still think with their interest in going to mobile platforms, much of the IP and game-designs will be used on this screen and then ported to mobile.

What kind of hands do the engineers at Nintendo have if this is the shape they came up with? Looks like something someone from the 50s would design to look futuristic. The idea is kind of neat but I have never liked virtual buttons not once and the shape of the thing looks just straight up strange. From unwieldy Gamepad to this shape is not quite what I was expecting. Like many have said it needs some sort of grips or handles.

Hopefully that's a controller you buy separately and the one which comes with the console isn't expensive with "useless" features, just a normal one and with buttons.

Or

3. He wasn't privy to the NX's final form, for whatever reason, and though the thread and design was ludicrous (i.e. 1.), but it was actually a real prototype

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!

Hope this is true. Nintendo always had great controllers ( despite the WiiU controller was a bit of a letdown ) and I'm confident the NX controller will be great.

By the way, they're going to stick to the "ii" brand.

Not "Wii", but something "ii". Miiverse, Amiibo, Miitomo, that's the future.

Shiit?

Maybe they can get Senator Clay Davis to be the spokesperson for the Nintendo Shiit.

If Nintendo just released a console (without a gimmick) that is more powerful than a PS4/Xbone (say a PS4.5/Xbone.five) in the current market in addition to dropping the arrogant Nintendo attitude they normally have that drives 3rd parties away they would do gangbusters. This gen has proved that gamers want games and not gimmicks as the centerpiece.

If Nintendo want a gimmick, then it should be an add-on and not take centre stage. You don't have to use a gimmick just for its own sake.

I'm also sick of purchasing a next gen Nintendo console that is almost as powerful as the competitors' last gen consoles.

Amiibo is an abomination to the Wii U owners where for 15€ you can buy a figurine that barely does anything of note.

I'm off the Nintendo train next gen. It's been emotional.

Sorry for the rant but if the direction and pictures of the NX are legit then I could easily see Wii U numbers for it.

Definitely.

I believe both case 1 and case 2 would cause a reprimanding. Just that Case 2's consequences would be 10x imo. EDIT: and hence, not worth it.

Gonna spitball for a little bit:

- I'm 99% sure NX will play Wii U games. I think most are in agreement with this.

- The Wii U controllers (standard and Pro) will be compatible with the NX. In fact, they may even be the standard controllers for the NX. Just with different branding (ie 'Wii U' logo changes to 'NX' logo).

- This new controller (this thread) is actually the next portable. And this controller will be able to stream its games to the NX for TV-play.

- I'm a little shaky on this one, but I think the NX will come in two packages:
1) For the new owners: console, new controller/handheld, classic/WiiU controller
2) For the Wii U owners: Wii U add-on and new controller/handheld.​

Book it.

Everyone freaking out and it's not even the final design.

That being said, I would personally not be a fan of this set up. Probably wouldn't ever buy it if it remains the same.

It isn't. It's too early for him to know SKU's and what will be bundled with the system - the pack-ins were even changed last minute for the Wii, I believe.

Interesting digging done by /u/casey_contra on /r/NintendoNX. He found some Sharp patents and this one in particular could solve the 'no d-pad/ no button' problem.

https://www.google.com/patents/WO20...ved=0ahUKEwj886vPgdLLAhVHu4MKHaOWAr4Q6AEIHzAA

This patent is basically a way to put a hole in a display without ruining the quality of the screen. Why? “it becomes possible to provide substantially the entire area of the viewer-side panel as a display area”

Other quotes: “The liquid crystal display device (or electronic apparatus) 100, for example, portable game machines, smart phones, mobile phones, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), tablet devices, e-book readers, music players, cameras, electronic dictionary, an electronic notebook, a navigation system, the display device, a personal computer, wearable computer, wristwatch, game machines, televisions, and may be a information display.” – it specifically mentions gaming

What goes in this hole? “More specifically, input and output devices 30, and receives input from the user (direct operation), push button, a direction key (cross key), an analog stick, a touch panel (touch sensor), the rotary switch (Volume Controller), rotating expression selector (jog dial), toggle switch, trackball, track pad, stick-type pointing device, may be met in such as a hardware keyboard.”

“In this case, the fitting hole and the screw hole provided in the operating portion, by the user mounting the stick portion as needed, it can be used as an input device such as an analog controller.”

So perhaps we can switch out the sticks with D-pad modules or perhaps even a set of conventional buttons?

Oh GAF, never change. Knee jerk reactions to a thing you can't possibly know anything about other than its form factor, if the pics are even real.

People think Nintendo begins and ends with the NX reveal. If NX were the future of Nintendo as a company, they wouldn't be moving into mobile.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride through E3.

I think this would be interesting as a handheld but I can't wrap my head around why this would be ideal over a normal controller as a console controller.
