These mockups are a migrane. Nothing looks comfortable, and nothing looks appealing.
Honestly there are so many rumors of what the NX will have on it that at this point we're counting like nearly 100 different things about it just because someone like Emily Rogers or whoever was like "yeah, I think I heard that somewhere too".
Plus, the idea of taking off the controller bits on the side to make mini sideways Wiimotes to play multiplayer with feels kind of like a turn off. I haven't seen a single idea anywhere that makes it look ergonomic or appealing.
Name 10 things that have been rumored by Emily Rogers (or any actual insider or journalist) to be on the controller.
So far we have split d-pad, share button, and a 720p multi-touch screen. The controllers can detach and have motion capability and force feedback
That is 5 rumored elements, two of which (motion/rumble) are practically a given, and one of which (720p scree) isn't anything new. If we just look at these rumors I don't think there's too much of anything, and it seems like they all coexist nicely. I'm not getting the whole frankenstein vibe that a lot people seem to get.
Now, if you want to include speculation based on patents, like scroll shoulders, SCDs, IR ports, pico projectors and the like, then that makes it a lot crazier, but note that
none of these insiders are reporting those things.
There's really nothing ridiculous about what Emily Rogers and others are saying, you might just be conflating those rumors with speculation that is not based on rumors.
