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

They want "confidential" visible when the controller is face up. There is probably another sticker on the back.

We've been getting accessories for many games, if you want to go technical, amiibo, the PokeTracker for Pokemon Go, Circle Pad Pro are just one of the many things Nintendo is utilizing to sell their products.
No buttons, no worries coz there's clearly gunna be buttons.

It seems that the controllers don't have any kind of stickers on them, but I really can't find a good shot of the pre-release devkit controllers.
I did notice that all of the shots that I found of the development kit have a box sticking out of the top of the Wii U. I'm assuming that's for video, right? The leaked pictures don't have that.

This is awesome.
Which finally explains the lack of buttons. Because how can you press them when you have to hold the controller while wearing these......
Prepare for official Nintendo controller mitts. Nintengloves or some shit knowing this company.

At this point in time, Nintendo's weird hardware is not needed. There is an onslaught of VR hardware coming that is both unique and actually practical unlike most Nintendo's innovations. Nintendo usually offers a breath of fresh air with stagnant hardware design but no way this can compete with VR.
I wish Nintendo would just become a software company.

Just remember guys... it's not going to look exactly like this. It hasn't even been publicly revealed yet...
Heres the Wii / WiiU / NDS first public shots and actual launch products:
Theres probably more nintendo examples.
Basically, the NX is gunna look alot slicker come launch day.
Good stuff. The DS was equally as puzzling to me during E3 2004. Which was roughly 6 months before DS was on store shelves.

They tend to release at least a dozen games per year, though. Those haven't routinely been big successes unlike past gens.
;p
I mean, in context that has to be what people mean when they say the design will be updated since the underlying design direction isn't going to do an about-face in eight months.
These look cool, but it really is U 2.0
A second screen to show your hud. Games like rts(starcraft) to controlyour units or wow games does have allot of spells.
That kind of thing would be much better when you can place it on your screen instead of using a 3d stick to navigate to your items.
Second, you can layout your own buttons like physical buttons.
Read this first, befoe judging!:

This is a joke post, right? A touchscreen isn't new, and it's demonstrably worse than buttons. No, no, no.

These technologies are fine at trying to emulating the feel of a button... but these are meant for devices you don't expect to have buttons. Not only they're not as accurate as buttons, it's also expensive. But the point is to bring buttons where there shouldn't be buttons for other uses.
But in that controller case ?? It makes no sense. 2 dollars buttons does a shitton better job than this. Putting this in a controller is an expensive way to try to fix something that was never broken and worked better before your attempt at fixing it.
Yes, if it has a controller like what we are seeing, then I think it surely will be. Do you really think the Nintendo diehards are going to accept no buttons or a d-pad? How about the Xbox and PS crowd? What does that leave... the phone market?
But of course let us wait and see, as I have said. I am hoping for the best.

How the fuck would you even play Pokken on this thing? Action games would be unplayable on this thing.

I'm guessing more plastic accessories are indeed incoming. ;^)
Did some quick mocks...
Ergonomically it would be safe. My problem with it still is "where are the damn buttons?" though.

But like, both of these would be better on your HD TV without buttons in the way.

This is hysterical in its own right, but the hullabaloo reception going on with Batman vs. Superman takes the hilarity to another level entirely. xD
It's for video and to make sure that the gamepad stuff like the second screen and touch controls is working properly.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.

Thanks!
I really hope someone asks Kimishima about these leaks at the investor meeting.

Okay guys, as cool as it is in theory... In order for the buttons to 'rise up' with some kind of fluid that gets injected into predetermined spots, the top layer of the screen needs to be this thin film. You can already tell that this does not give a super smooth surface (look at the bottom part when the screen is 'flat'). It's a cool technology, but none of the 'in-action' footage looks consumer ready. I strongly doubt Nintendo somehow found out how to pull this off (or found a company that did), considering it would be huge in the smartphone/tablet industry if this worked as well as it sounds on paper.
Don't worry guys, that sticker won't be in the consumer edition to bother you.
Really, you have a real device of some sorts in some really big and clear pictures that were not tampered and you pick on a sticker?
You could say it's not Nintendo's, but ignoring the forest because one tree is a little bend is a bit too much.

It's a good thing people are reporting that this is a controller and not a primary screen, then.

No worries. I probably could have posted a pic knowing how tense these threads can get.
To me, GI and Sean have given enough independent sources to verify these 2 independent leaks as legit. Robertson's source seems to be running damage control the same way that Nintendo unofficially denied Trev's release schedule leak anonymously. In a way, it sucks that NX had to be revealed this way, but this isn't the full picture, I am sure. There should still be some surprises to come.

Very cool. I also imagine there will be an option to play/watch video in proper scale (16x9) in between the sticks.
I mean the fact the controller has a screen doesn't mean it won't be on your tv. Unifying handheld and console has been talked about for quite some time. What if this is just the mobile portion of the NX? What if docks into a traditional controller like the dreamcast memory card?

Then why is there primary screen stuff on it in that example 😔
All the sources suggest it's not the portable. And if it's just going like that on the controller, that's a huge waste of processing power. I don't know, that just looks pointless and dumb.

Full picture or not, this is just gamepad 2.0 without buttons. Another expensive gimmick that brings nothing to the table :/
At this point, all I'm hoping is that we'll get buttons. Because at this point, no dpad, no face buttons, no triggers... this thing is dead.

Power Glove was actually for pruning.
The feel and shape of a button. But not the tactile feedback or accuracy. Because you're still pressing down on fluid-filled rubber domes, which sounds atrocious for gaming.
For the rest of your post, I agree. This is a proposed solution for a problem that never existed.

Does the idea of attachments being released for it, from a company that ALWAYS released attachments sound crazy to you?Yes, if it has a controller like what we are seeing, then I think it surely will be. Do you really think the Nintendo diehards are going to accept no buttons or a d-pad? How about the Xbox and PS crowd? What does that leave... the phone market?

Going by the OP:
- Only the upper 'nubs' of the sticks move. The bottom part is static (kind of like the circle pad, but it moves along the bottom 'sphere'.
- The rollers on the top feel and look pretty much identical to a mouse scroll-wheel. Though I do don't believe this will be the final design.
- Haptic feedback is feels like Apples 'taptic' engine. Not like regular rumble.
- 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom
Assuming that it's real, it will probably have at least two triggers along with two of the stroller wheel button, and/or for the mouse wheels to be clickable. The final dual analog sticks could also be clickable like the ones on the Wii U. Going by the patents, I would expect the touch screen to have some crazy tech that would make up for physical buttons. Hope Nintendo will discuss this soon so that we can get a better idea on what we can expect.
