So a couple of things:
1. The rumor isn't from Duel Pixels or Geno. It's an independent source from Reddit.
2. The patent was for the controller.
Not saying it's real but those two arguments don't really hold water.

My favorite thing about this thread is seeing all the grayed out names.
Gives me a h on.

Ya. But I do hope this is just a devkit or prototype since it is ugly in the picture.

Actually, just in case this thread pops up again 11 years from now, I am PRO oval controller! Different and new gameplay experiences are what we need more of, as long as at least Nintendo supports it with excellent first party games.

I can see this as a dev unit with the consumer model being different(slightly).
Ok insiders. Yes/No/No comment(ie yes) lol
Does that mean their banned, or just that talking about that rumor was banned? Don't remember those days, it's possible threads about that rumor kept popping up.
Thats arguably worse

Surely fake, but if not, RIP Nintendo.
This is generally how R&D and new technology work.
I opened the thread, looked at the picture, and almost fell over laughing.
So uncomfortable. Reminds me of the PS3 boomerang.
It's really trying to match the patent mock-up image, which is really meant to be a design abstract more than a 1:1 schematic of the look of the actual product.

I'm calling fake because the patents only describe functions on not actual designs. Not to mention only that image was going around despite the patent discussing other functions like cutting the free form display to allow for buttons and other forms.
This fake is following far too closely to the look of one specific patent though we have no design patent like we do of the Wii remote.

you mean Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot ...
(endorsing an awful over-used gaf(?)meme so yes, I feel bad)
since it's Nintendo I'd say there is a (small?) possibility that this egg-shaped thing isn't fake. scary thoughts
Half-Life 3.
I had a cool idea awhile ago about removal d-pad, buttons, and analogs. So the player can customize the controller. Developers could even include their own buttons/analog/type-things, and it'd be cheap plastic that just stuck to the controller surface with, I don't know, magnetism?
I think it'd be a cool idea. Not ever game needs buttons, and it'd allow for a complete open-end to how we use the traditional controller interface.
If my theory/dream is right, this controller is just fine. There's no way Nintendo is releasing a non-button controller after-all.

Looks to be a tech demo running 62fps.

Nintendo is probably the last company I'd expect to usher in a groundbreaking next-gen technological improvement.

Waaaaaay too soon for that.
We did the same thing with the Wii controller and that ended up actually being pretty well liked. For motion controls. I guess.
I believe that Xbox One Elite controller has that sort of functionality. Seemed pretty neat.

a lot of you wants it to be fake but deep inside there is this little tingling that says to you ...it's real.

If it was real why not leak a video of it being used and rotating it 360?
I thought the same thing.

If this were any other company I'd be 100% sure it was fake but it's nintendo, so I'm 98% sure instead.
Zero-latency WiiU controller?
My problem is here:
The lighting is bizarre to my eyes. How can it have the same shading around where it should be bright on the side of the stick? The light is very bizarre.
Someone check with different eyes.
I mean, why would you expect Nintendo to be the one doing the R&D? Broadcom with Nintendo's interest/input did the R&D on the WiiU streaming tech.
