Did Nintendo tell you to make this fake so we don't believe any rumor from now on?

I'm still confused with Rostis post. He was saying Nintendo was upset by these leaks? Maybe the actually controller is somewhat similar
I can't imagine it being very different., honestly. Something close to a smartphone is the obvious path they would take.
haha awesome!

It will probably be a mix of specific touch control and some physical buttons like a Wiimote/DS mix.
Probably throw in a Pro Controller design for the purists.
Edit: Most arguments here take me back to Wii. People dismissing motion control. Fun times...

Good job dude.
Quickly made a gif of your other video, which is now fitting:
The moment you think this thread already delivered....
he didn't know anything. Even if someone did have a prototype the nda would prevent them from saying anything (even acknowledging its existence)

If you search post history, I scoffed at the first image. When I saw these images I somehow instantly knew that they were legit images of a thing that existed but I refused to conclude in my brain that it was Nx.
Regardless, that a gaffer actually had an entire 3D modeling shop and easily made probably the most elaborate fake the internet or nintendo has ever seen...man...the guy deserves a tag not a ban. No one will ever ever believe leaks after this thread, and thats a once in a lifetime thread. Bravo.

Maybe the tree was fake as well...
Well, to be fair, I can completely see why people at Nintendo would be nervous about these leaks. Because I had people in the office ranting about Nintendo over the last couple days. These are guys in their 30-40's, some with kids, that you would call "average" gamers, they don't typically go to gaming sites (but do frequent tech sites, etc.) that were now convinced that Nintendo has finally gone completely nuts. A few of them have Wii U's (which they never use, I hear about it all the time) that they bought based solely on the brand and they thought that design was reaching at best. With these leaks they were utterly convinced that Nintendo was gone forever.
I actually had people that wouldn't know one dev studio from another, telling me that Nintendo needs to "just make games for the PC, PS4 and Xbox already". I was a little shocked to see such a reaction out of people that really don't follow the industry at all, just based on a "leaked" piece of hardware.
...and yes it was based mostly on the "virtual buttons".
So, I can see Nintendo being worried because it potentially really damaged their brand in this vulnerable time for them when they have nothing to show people. I can also see them being very worried at the negative reaction of a lot of people, if the real design has any of the features people were really disliking.
Maybe we should stop paying attention to him?
My guess is that the actual NX controller is very different, probably a lot more traditionnal, and Nintendo is worried the gaming community will get angry at these "leaks" because they don't represent the shift from previous products (the Wii systems and branding) Nintendo hinted at and is working towards.
At least that's why I would want Nintendo to be concerned for.
I hope Nintendo slows down a bit on trying to innovate on hardware, and instead gets back to pour all that creativity and genius design on innovating in software.
This is Nintendo at its best for me.
People used to gaming always dismiss anything different than a normal controller as shit. Not only this is very close minded, but I'm still amazed people expect nintendo to use a normal controller for their next console.
Or to be more powerful that a ps4 but that's another matter.

Nah, if anything when the actual NX leaks no one will believe it. Someone will say something looks odd and everyone will agree it's just another fake, and then a few weeks later they show it on E3 and everyone will be dumbfounded. And that's gonna be awesome!
Still, a Nintendo official reveal will reach a much bigger audience than this leak. It will really be reported everywhere, including the mainstream media. As you say, they bought Wii U and that was like the anticlimax of the reveals and advertising. So, as I said, a bit strange.
The official Nintendo statements about how NX will provide a new way to play still exists even beyond these fakes. So I wouldn't bet too much on a traditional console.

of course
I was laughing through the whole thing
Insane that some people even had matched it to some roof boards in Bergsala, Sweden.It's a CNC CO2 laser cutting machine. You can basically cut any vector shape
Exported the face from Fusion 360 to a DXF and brought it into the laser cutting program.Yep, it's my head. I honestly didn't even see it until some guys here pointed it out. It's a double reflection from the Samsung TV
That was me
Nice detective work
You got me there. Really good job, which shows me that I shouldn't believe any Leaks from sources that are not well known as leakers. Especially in this in this day and age, where it's seemingly so easy to 3D print things like this and put some glass on it. I was fascinated by both the 3D printer and the Laser Cutter. This is also the 1st time I have seen a Laser Cutter in action, so this is some impressive stuff.
Good job dude.

Hah, yeah, we actually make and sell those glasses. I was wondering if I should have them on in the video but decided against it. But you can see them on the laser cutter lid in the video where I put them down
Oh, I thought he was one of the more trust worthy people on GAF.
It might be shocking to you, but most people don't go to Nintendo for revolutionary peripherals or control schemes. Nintendo is comfort food, they go to Nintendo because of their IPs, not their technology, or some wacky new way to control it. Nintendo is successful despite their quirky hardware, not because of it.
Not anymore. Alot gaffers with "inside information" must feel pretty bad at the moment. It would be fun to hear their excuses haha.

could never
Long gone.
This is extremely well done - nice work! I'll admit that this is the one that made me start to believe it was real (I'm rather glad that it isn't!).
There is only evidence that the original picture was made and manipulated with photoshop. There is no evidence that the controller itself, which is supported by official patents, is fake.
It all might be part of a viral marketing campaign funded by Nintendo, and the above video supports that.

Ok, you got yourself a Like out of that. Amazing work, glad I didn't get myself worked up over this even though it looked real.
EDIT: And Sony did patent some brain control scheme as I recall. If we were going to see it PSVR would have been the most opportune, what else could make them win VR?

Well, the good thing about all this is that I know not to trust Rosti and ShockingAlberto now when they talk about insider info

I feel like Nintendo should be happy. They get more headline news
They want to attract other people than regular self proclaimed gamers, and that's what they'll do once again.
Nintendo is only successful when they manage to do so. A traditional controller will not make a nintendo console successful. It's not really hard to get. Regular gamers won't sustain a nintendo cnsole alone.
Basically what happened with Smash. So many fake leaks that has been dismantled that when a real leak came about it was dismissed because of similar mistakes.

The best thing you can do for yourself is not to put "trust" and "worth" in anything you read on the internet. ESPECIALLY a gaming forum.
Let it go brah.
Maybe, I don't know.
On one hand, getting people talking about their next system is great, because it's likely they'll announce it soon and ride that wave of excitement.
On the other hand, I feel like these fakes clearly proved that core gamers are tired of Nintendo's gimmicks, and if they are aiming at a new one this time around, all of this "hate" towards their sense of innovation might very well translate to the new gimmick they found and believe in for this generation.

Hahaha, #TeamFake for the win!
But kudos to the maker of these fakes. This one and the Rayman one from Smash Bros really had "production value".

Like anything..Like the Dual Shock 4 for example, technology evolves. There isn't a defacto design.
Earlier in the thread i think we started to have a good discussion about the pros and cons of the fake created, I understand why and i have concerns myself about touch buttons, but i'm willing to try what they put out rather than outright dismissing it from the start.
I think that half the issue, there is a lot of people dismissing anything New as shite. Which is unfair. And i get why Nintendo could be nervous because gamers are a dismissive bunch, not just on hardware but also games as well ( see all the shite aimed at indies and 'walking simulators'). But more often than not we are wrong as well. Someone earlier in the thread made reference to this:
The gaming community were:
wrong about DS
wrong about Wii
50/50 about 3ds
right about wiiu
wrong about mobile gaming
50/50 about psp (leaning to wrong, but it did very good in the end, mostly because of it's success in japan)
wrong about vita
And also we act like the boy who cried wolf. We whinge and moan at everything. Reggie mentioned this himself in regard to the general responses to the Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong TF, Splatoon etc Reveals.
I just wish people were more open to new ideas rather than jumping in with the pitchforks. If they do go touch screen? I really hope they have found a way to make them reliable, have a presence, responsive and tactile. If so there are some very good pros to why they would want to pursue this.

I remember people were responding with this image to the Nintendo Twitter.
They probably saw it and chuckled maniacally to themselves.

kankki, thanks for the in-depth video. While the original guy's video mostly made me crack up, your own was incredibly insightful on the world of DIY.
I was one of the people clamoring on how both versions looked too good to be 3D printed or photoshopped (with the exception of the reddit guy's cropped in-game screenshot).
Did you expect it to look that good in the end and bear such a resemblance to the original fake? Man, I may never trust another leak of this nature again.

Great response. Judging it based on what tablets and phones have seems a bit silly. Going back and playing DS touch games and yeah there is a huge difference between that and what we have now.
Bring on the NX, hope it is not traditional.
