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

So we're back to square zero. Nice! I think Iwata's passing really threw a wrench in the works when it comes to the NX and how it's been handled so far.

It honestly feels like someone is feeding insiders/community connection people with hot bullshit information.

What if Nintendo leaked this. What if this was the plan all along... and only told a few people about the design being "real"... and now, now... they are all de

That would be pretty gnarly but I could see a company doing that. After the rash of leaks, Mother 3 and Paper Mario, they'd want to find out who's telling who what, so they come up with a bunch of different bullshit things to match who leaked what. I don't think that's what happened here (just someone with talent and free time) but I wouldn't find it hard to believe if a company did something like that.
 
I think I am rolling with #teamreal until we see the final product. Something sneaky is going on here.

Or until I see a video about how the black one was done at the very least.

The only sneaky thing is some people believe everything posted on the Internet. The shocking thing is, they will do this the next time again.

Wait, that black one is a physical device. Photoshop my ass! I'm not saying this is the real controller or anything like that but bullshit thats not a tangible object.

BOOOOOOOM VINDICATIOOOONNNNNNN

Everyone that shit on me for suggesting it could be a 3D print can suck it!! It all turned out exactly how I speculated, with the exception of the white one actually being a render and not also a 3D print.

youre still wrong... its holograms. its always been holograms.

reddit said:
why would we believe you?
I´m calling you out: This IS the real NX controller/handheld, and you got cold feet after detectiveGAF went too deep. To cover your buttocks, you created a 3D-Render and made this video saying "haha, got you guys!".
Your only intention here is to do damage control, because you´re afraid of having broken Nintendo´s NDA. Oh, and you´re probably the same person as that recent AMA-guy, who made some bs comment about "8GB DDR5, no, not GDDR5", then excusing himself by being just the "art guy". Yes, you are the art guy, hence being capable of creating this 3D render.
It´s all real and you´re busted. Sorry

This guy believes it's a cover-up. Thoughts?

Guys, remember the original white NX controller picture?

The original person on Reddit who posted it just posted a video about it:
https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoNX/comments/4avdcg/codename_nx/d1ce8fz

I'm sorry #TeamReal, but it's not your day.

Thank you.

I knew it with that silly cropped unreal engine pic.

One thing I know though, with all the threads and pages and posts created over silly rumors, Nintendo is far from dead. The thirst is real.

Fuck everything

Fuck Reddit

Fuck NX

Fuck Idriss2dipshit

Fuck that new dev

Fuck GAF

Fuck this thread

I'm glad you keep me in your memory, so I looked back at whatever post I sent to you and this was what youre referring to

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=199069150&postcount=6626

I didn't say anything about it being fake or real.

In fact, I even said i "Wouldn't be surprised if fake" a couple minutes later

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=199070726&postcount=6688

I am still on the fence, honestly. Depending on what ShockingAlberto is talking about.
"A couple minutes later"

Well take the L for the couple minutes before then lol

I know one thing. I'll never be able to look at a leak the same way again due to the advances of technology making things more and more believable these days. I knew this was fake, but so many, even news outlets thought it might possibly be real because it did look real in a lot of ways. People even scanned it to see if it was a Photoshop and when it was found out it wasn't, it solidified some people's expectations and speculations.
 
Guys, what if the NX is just an elaborate series of fakes and 3D printing projects? What if it's an AR game? What if it's Frog Fractions 2?

I said the white one was clearly photoshopped in the previous thread. It was rather apparant. The black one is much more convincing but could still be easily faked. The entire scene could be done in 3D. It's a rather simple scene as well. You guys should really take a look at what 's possible even with Blender3D, a free opensource 3D program.

Damn guys, I just can't believe that the black units are straight-up photoshopped in. Those are some amazing fakes. Especially this one:



How do you fake something that well using only software? I was positive it was either real, 3D printed, or hacked together from some other random product.
The shadow the controller is casting over the headphones' cable is all kinds of wrong.
 
So did the Game Informer guy accidentally give out info since he thought these pics were real?

He said he heard the system had no "buttons"? Does anyone have his quote? Did he specifically say NX controller or NX handheld?
 
But the model in the faking video for the white controller uses the design from the black controller.

The story is he sent the model he made to a confidante because he himself could not 3D print it and that guy is the one who made the black controller from the design he was sent.
