Original NX Controller leak revealed fake by leaker.

Well done. Still, with all the different sources saying this lines up, something smells fishy. I wonder if ninjas aren't at work here. Don't underestimate the litigation powers at Nintendo. Maybe I'm still in denial. Reveal can't come soon enough.

Was on #teamFake... but was hoping it was real, because of how bad it looked.

Would have meant one less console under the TV and less money spent.

Called it

I thought it was plausible for more then a day, but the more I looked at it the more I was like "...I could make that"

for more than a day? geez...even that was too much wasted thought in this, I never believed it for a second. I suppose it's easier to be duped on places like this simply because some folks make a big spiel out of rumors and stuff but the truth is...this is simply another lesson learned for those that were duped into believing this was the real deal. I was shocked by the folks that were actually liking it though, ha!..i suppose that's part of the inner fanboy inside some folks, to root and support their brand of choice which is asinine imho Hopefully some people will slow down and not be so hasty into reacting over things like this. It's so damn easy to dupe people on the internet yet people fall for it every day. Like that old saying goes, there's a sucker born every minute.

How many here more than believing it was real, just kinda wanted it to be real just to witness the meltdowns

I can't be the only one

How hard would it have been for someone to 3D print that other leaked controller (the black one)? The screen would have been super difficult to do and have it look as legit as it does in those pics.

The faker is a NeoGAF member judging by the dark theme.

Reveal yourself!

Good catch!

Unless his dark theme screen scrolling was also faked?!?!?!

FAKE-CEPTION

No but seriously, we won't be mad if you reveal yourself! That was the greatest fake EVER!

Not difficult at all. One mold with an acrylic or plastic cutout placed on top.

This begs the question though, were the no buttons rumors still legit. We had a couple sources saying it.

No. NX will have buttons. Mark my words. Make me eat crow if I'm wrong.

Nintendo is not abandoning buttons. I guarantee it.
 
Has #TeamReal ever been right? Ever?

There have been tons of legitimate Nintendo leaks in the last 18 months.

Smash Bros. ESRB roster leaks
Paper Mario Color Splash
Trev/SuperMetalDave's source on the 3DS lineup
Most recent Nintendo Direct contents
SNES games on n3DS VC (which I believe was also rumored independent of the Nintendo Direct leak)

Screen is most likely not hard at all if it doesn't need to actually work. And that leak only had a black screen
 
Also, this should've been incredibly obvious the moment a treehouse employee retweeted it. Treehouse must've been laughing there ass off about us arguing over a fake rumor

Yep, we're now at this point where a "fake" made actual sources come forward and vouch for certain details concerning it.

Someone in the other thread pointed out that the screen looked ridiculously reflective, which is consistent with someone using a CNC cutter with black acrylic.

That or it's an even higher quality digital fake.
