GUYS OMG THIS IS A MINDFUCK PICTURE!!!!
When you look at the side it looks like the stick is outside, and when you look when the black box is on top it looks like the sticks are inside!!
Think there is something wrong in my brain lol.
Omg can't sleep now xd

Lol now I can't unsee this

 

[?oe?oe]

He should have recreated the horse riding patent.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

There's another thing about this. The guy who posted this on reddit is incredibly transparent about himself being a developer for the system. If this were a real devkit controller for the NX, wouldn't he know the ramifications of leaking both the existence of it AND MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN.

 

[RootCause]

Looks fake. I hope it's fake. Nintendo better hope it's fake.

I'm okay with this dying a horrible death like the DreamCast(or wiiu).

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Looks incredibly fake, like someone just looked at the patents and tried to copy it, not realizing patent drawings aren't suppose to be 1:1 in terms of accuracy and are just suppose to be representations

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Thats some X files looking shit.

 

[Scum]

Half-Life 3.

¬¬

Looks to be a tech demo running 62fps.

An UE4 tech demo, perhaps...?

 

[Plinko]

If real this will flop worse than Wii u



Quote this when NX is the second coming of the Wii

Come on. This is beyond ridiculous. You're looking at a controller, knowing nothing about the system itself or the games to be released.

 

[JAV Actress]

So controller also works as the handheld, neat.

I imagine like the article says the physical buttons are probably there for dev, will be removed later on.

 

[prwxv3]

I'm okay with this dying a horrible death like the DreamCast(or wiiu).

If you want Nintendo to continue making consoles you dont.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

So...uggo

I miss Tyler Breeze. Fuck what they've done with him on the main roster.

 

[Boogdud]

I really hope they aren't considering haptic buttons like this (hopefully fake) controller has, if so, I'm out before I had a chance to be in.

 

[Aselith]

Looks a lot like the patent, but it has the ring of truth to it- that screen's not something you can easily mock up.

I'd be surprised if the consumer product looked like this, but as a dev thing? Yeah, I can see it.

I literally can't think of anything that's easier to fake than a static picture superimposed over a controller base.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

The three seashells of gaming

 

[The Hermit]

it looks kinda like people expected right? I mean I'see that prototype before

 

[Inviusx]

My hands get cramped after holding a VITA for an hour or so, this thing would be a fucking nightmare. My fingers are hurting just looking at it.

 

[Schnozberry]

Maybe he signs NDA's like I agree to the terms and conditions of random shit I sign up for.

 

[bachikarn]

I can't see nintendo not having physical buttons. Id make more sense if they were there also on the free form display

 

[MrCunningham]

It's a little to early for April Fools' Day. Looks fake AF. It's like someone made a mock up based on the patent images and took a screenshot. Something about it just doesn't look right to me.

 

[rrs]

Prove it.

sure

 

[Oersted]

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.

They are banned

[n0razi]

Whats Nintendos obsession with putting screens (crappy ones at that) on everything? Just catch up with everyone else as far as online, VR, an 3rd party support goes please.

 

[Vena]

For new page since it may get lost on next:

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.

 

[AGoodODST]

The sticks don't even look like they can move. And surely the screen would reflect of the white raised part?

 

[chaosblade]

Zero-latency WiiU controller?

That's not really groundbreaking, it used a customized Miracast implementation IIRC. Haptics that can fully replace the tactile feedback of a button probably isn't feasible with current technology, and if it is, it's probably expensive enough to make the Wii U gamepad look cheap.

 

[cordy]

I miss Tyler Breeze. Fuck what they've done with him on the main roster.

Let's just pray that Trips continues to put his love for him on front street so Vince doesn't let him go.

Sad day for the NXT dudes moving up.

 

[Nanashrew]

sure

Clean your controller!

 

[bomblord1]

All ya'll are a bunch of Debbie Downers I love the design here.

When the real control releases and looks similar to look this I'm probably going to cry softly in the corner as everyone says Nintendo is doomed because they released a cool controller.

 

[rrs]

Clean your controller!

prebaked dirt: an Nintendo innovation

 

[Boogdud]

Come on. This is beyond ridiculous. You're looking at a controller, knowing nothing about the system itself or the games to be released.

To be fair, looking at the Wii u's controller was all that was needed to see it's future back when it was revealed...

 

[RootCause]

If you want Nintendo to continue making consoles you dont.

I don't want them. But this doesn't appeal to me. I'm not buying into something just so the company can survive to release another one that might appeal to me.

 

[MikeE21286]

I'm still not even exactly sure what in looking at?

Two thumb sticks on top of (presumably) a touch screen?

 

[Magusx]

I think it's real and hope it's real. I love handhelds so much, and really want the next generation. If it's true about it having Xbox one power I would be really happy.

 

[Randomizer]

Those shoulder buttons look like a middle mouse scroller, just like that other patent. Hmm...

 

[ultrazilla]

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.

The angle the picture was taken with the flash. I think the pic is legit.

 

[MindGamingMantis]

LMAO. This is so bad it can't be real.

 

[prwxv3]

It's understandable why they won't make a VR hmd. They are expensive as hell to make. The only reason why Sony is making money on their 400 device is because of their suply chains and other Sony divisions.

 

[Tempy]

Anybody recognize the "game"?

 

[Brofield]

sure

I give you a 7/10 for actually following through.

What is that on top of the TV remote? Removable N64 C buttons?

 

[Gsnap]

Feels fake. Too close to the patent. The same patent that had a bean man shooting a gun at an iguana. Nothing in that patent screamed, "Yes, this is what it will actually look like." Instead it just seemed like a bunch of crappy, hastily drawn pictures to help people understand the concepts. Even if it is real I imagine that's just a prototype and not what it will really be.

We'll see. Nintendo tends to be able to make things work (as in, they're more functional and comfortable than they seem at first glance), so I won't write it off immediately if it is real. But I don't think it is.

 

[Syf]

LMAO. This is so bad it can't be real.

That's what I thought about the Wii U

 

[Ravidrath]

My theory is that it's real, and Nintendo of America leaked it in a last-ditch effort to convince NCL not to do this to them.

 

[pestul]

That's not really groundbreaking, it used a customized Miracast implementation IIRC. Haptics that can fully replace the tactile feedback of a button probably isn't feasible with current technology, and if it is, it's probably expensive enough to make the Wii U gamepad look cheap.

I won't argue that. I'd fucking hate losing real buttons.

Guys about the lighting argument. The camera flash probably nullifies the screen illumination (if it is a screen and not just and printed render).

 

[bomblord1]

]That's not really groundbreaking, it used a customized Miracast implementation IIRC.[/B] Haptics that can fully replace the tactile feedback of a button probably isn't feasible with current technology, and if it is, it's probably expensive enough to make the Wii U gamepad look cheap.

No one had done it before the wiiU though and it was a custom design.

Also there are several haptic feedback touchscreen technologies to choose from

 

[?oe?oe]

Anybody recognize the "game"?

It's the secret dark game.

 

[Taco_Human]

Bullshit, that looks like a previous mockup I saw here.

 

[TheSpecialOne]

If the nx releases with this controller, I'll save my money. It complete trash for any type of complex game. I guess they are trying to wow the casual audience again. Unfortunately, the controller looks like hey arnold's head.

 

[BitStyle]

Anybody recognize the "game"?

Is a game even being displayed from the controller? I can't tell what any of that stuff looks like.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

that doesn't look comfortable. Also lol @ people who are expecting parity with PS4/Xbone/PC if that thing is the controller, though I'm sure it will be excellent for Nintendo's own games.

Nintendo pls

 

[gamz]

Anybody recognize the "game"?

Looks like Halo 5.
