Yes, 3d printed fakes that are copying a nintendo patent. Physically real, but not the NX controller, or actually a functioning electronic device. Think of a fake phone display model they used to have at best buy.

So Massive Entertainment in Sweden have a 3D printer? ;)

so for button configuration, the only way you can change anything is by adding an attachment with buttons. so you CAN have physical buttons if you really want them, but you'll need to buy the attachment separately.
i don't think you'll want to though because the touch buttons are really good. it doesn't feel exactly like physical buttons, but you can still push down and feel when they've been pressed because of the haptic feedback thing. if you run your fingers across them quickly, you wont feel the buttons, same as when the device is off... but that doesn't matter much because you'll very quickly get used to the positioning of the buttons. i'll admit, it does take a little bit to get used to it, but you'll forget about it after using it for a few hours.
As for the handheld, i dont really know. all I know of is the console, core gamepad(s) and the attachments. I'll update once i know more.
the price is lower, but that doesn't mean this isn't a powerful console. it may not exceed the ps4 (i don't know for sure), but it is definitely on the same level, if not, better than the xbone. that all doesn't really matter though, the games that will be announced will make you forget about the console. :)))

This indeed is how a fake sounds like. Like, who's this leaker that has access to all this info? Is he Kimishima? That's 100% bullshit.
 
If it's fake. Why does someone have a white one, and another person has a black one exactly the same?

Not really been following the thread. Are the two sources unique?

oh it's certainly on par. 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

Nintendo VR?

I'm going to bed. When leaks start coming from people claiming to be from the future, I know it's time to just go watch some porn and then fall asleep.

Night all.
 
Maybe the nubs act like the nub on the N3DS.

Dont kill me.

They wouldn't look like this if that was the case. These sticks look really weird, I think the top looks too small if it's a circle-pad thingy to reach the edges like you'd expect.

Edit: or actually, they might be big enough looking at it a second time.

Guys that guy from the future is lying.
I'm from the future's future. NX became self aware in 2018.

Nintendo wasn't doomed. We were.

Oh my, what the hell is Nintendo thinking? that pad looks awful, uncomfortable and just so bad, even worse than the WiiU gamepad, at least that has a bigger screen a better buttons...If it is that small i think you should be able to bring it with you everywhere using it as a handheld, but how exactly? Just streaming via WiFi/4G or it has also a CPU/GPU inside??? I think we can't give nothing for granted yet, though it does not look good at all for Nintendo, with this thing I call a WiiU like fail
 
Looking pretty legit to me.

Which sucks. No face buttons. Hope they can catch lightning in a bottle like they did with the Wii, because otherwise this feels like 'Wii U part 2, this time with no 3ds to bail your ass out'

Not just sanded ABS plastic, but sanded ABS plastic that's been spray painted with a primer coat and dull black. Construction of this likely took them a day at most. Not hard to model it either, its geometry is simplistic.
