the second picture is obviously the render

Sort of proves his point then.

what about the confidential stickers?

Companies don't just write "Confidential Property" on a prototype. It would be the full thing, their company, the product serial number, some kind of code track. Not just saying "psst it's secret." And normally they wouldn't put it on the controller, the part of the console with the most wear.

I like that guy.

So are we back on the hypetrain powered by industry-leading chips?!?

 

[Kissenkopf]

I confronted a dude yesterday on reddit. I asked him to explain the the fake, he said "Nothing to do with me" a mealy mouthed reply.

Oh you!

 

[SimonM7]

Thank God.

But it's been fun watching people try to rationalise it.

 

[Krammy]

I've never been happier to eat a crow in my life. Now can someone pass me the pepper?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Whew, thank god.

 

[2+2=5]

As i said in the other thread i have always the suspicion that some leaks are commisioned/helped/made by the manufacturers themselves to see people reactions and eventually change the product with another ready (more conventional i hope)prototype, if that's the case i guess that Nintendo didn't like our reaction, luckily i'd say

 

[Possumowner]

Nintendo saved.All hail whatever there new thing is...thank God it wasn't that controller

 

[doofy102]

I genuinely wanted that controller, though.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Nah.

Even those who will inevitably express disdain or disinterest in NX will find themselves focusing in on this, in the same way Nintendo fans were undoubtedly watching the PS4 and Xbox One reveal events in 2013. Any time one of these companies debut a new generation of hardware, there's a scope to this that no revision or extension is going to "overshadow". VR may have had this potential, but we've heard about and seen all the relevant technology.

It's like the biggest thing that can happen at an E3.

Exactly.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

200 pages into the thread about the now fake NX controller and now all of a sudden no one was fooled by it right? If this thread is anything to go by everybody just knew it was fake wasn't it?

 

[koopathecat]

I was convinced that was real. Iam easily fooled i guess. Suddenly the membership of #teamfake includes everyone.

 

[pinkurocket]

It was convincing for sure.

I made this fake. Let's see if I just got myself banned.

Oh thank god!!!

I'm now happy.

 

[chadboban]

And now the ritual of insanity is finally complete. Take a bow "leakers", you guys are officially legendary. Great work!

 

[poodaddy]

Lol #Team real indeed. You naysayers got me dammit, I even started believing it on the second thread though I called it fake on the first thread. Thank God man, I knew Ninty was better than that. We just need some proper NX info to chill everyone out a bit.

 

[VenomBoss]

Gaming journalism integrity has hit a new low.

Shameful number of websites and twitter journalists spreading FUD by claiming their sources "say its true from what they've been hearing".

Nintendo should sue.

 

[The Last One]

This is good news.

Companies tend not to listen to people, and i think in general , rightly so.

Someone made a post earlier in the other thread based on general consensus of GAF through out the ages, we've (and the gaming community as a whole) been wrong on the success of literally everything, bar the WII U. I think the post suggested this:

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

The other problem is, we're also like the boy that cried wolf. Everything Nintendo shows , or new tech in general in the gaming sphere,seems to hated at first.

[Genio88]

I new that

 

[aravuus]

Thank god

 

[Ansatz]

It will have buttons.

I can see if physical buttons are main reason why people are relieved right now.

However it's probably unwise to assume the actual NX controller won't have a screen in it, everything points to a gamepad 2.0.

Wow now i want a 3d printer and all the rest, but is it normal for a 3d printer to leave all those residuals?

While true that gamers and people in general don't like innovations at first i think manufacturers listen to people(remember that products are made to be bought by us!) not to change completely a product, because the basic idea of the product cannot change, but to make some refinement and little changes to appeal to a wider public.

Obviously this is just my idea, but if i was a manufacturer i think i would do something like that, a free, wide and anonymous survey to test the waters before the finalization, why not?

Sometimes, yes. The material is very malleable and sometimes it won't dry as cleanly as you will hope, so sanding it down on the residuals is usually how to smooth it out the way you want.

Thanks for the explanation

Well it's going to be funny when Nintendo reveal a cheap plastic piece of crap and we all clamour for the fake again.

Just wanted to say you did an amazing job there, Kankki. I'm very glad you shared that video too, I was dying to know how the second set of pictures was faked.

I'll never be able to believe any leaks now though.

 

[Parsnip]

Damn good.


Hats off to my countryman for the black version.

 

[Crazyorloco]

HOLY SHIT. lol this is too good. Amazing fake.

Nothing is real until we hold the controller in our hands.

 

[Splendor]

This leaker right now:

 

[SiegfriedFM]

I remember when I made a fake Gamecube for April Fools. It had a cart slot for old games, but the actual slot was copied off a Saturn. I made it look like a scan off a JP magazine, and it did fool some people.

This was pre-GBA Player too, by the way.

Ahaha.

"Apple couldn't 3D print something this convincing, let alone a faker". That was truly thread of the year material.

Yeah, you really had major fan with smiles and Moon landing while the madness was unfolding, didn't you XD

[AgeEighty]

This whole sorry episode just frustrated me. Not only because so many people were being taken in by the idea of a consumer product looking exactly like concept images from a patent application (which never, ever happens), but also because so many people apparently actually believe Nintendo would release something so inherently impractical and blatantly uninspired.

Whether you liked the Wiimote and the Wii U Gamepad or not, at least they both had clearly demonstrable use cases. What are the arguments in favor of a controller whose whole face is a screen, with an image you partially block with your hands when you hold the thing, beyond just "It looks kind of cool"? There aren't any.

 

[-Horizon-]

...so the moon landing was fake

 

[SuperLeviathan]

What was that about Occam's Razor again? the simplest solution being the best one?

HAH!

 

[Vena]

...so the moon landing was fake

Of course it was. Took place on Mars.

Not sure I agree with this. I agree that no buttons are dumb. But gadget sex appeal is a thing and there's a reason why some people pay 100$ more for a S7 Edge than an S7 phone. I'd like to see the visuals flow across the unit. It doesn't detract from anything, you still get a full wide screen format in between, it's just bonus flare on the side.

I recall that once gaffer...Stilton Disco, making it seem like Nintendo's future was dreary at best, using these "leaks" as evidence.

Oh who am I kidding? There are a ton of people like him who will use anything and everything as proof that Nintendo is doomed. Even if supposed "proof" really has no basis.
