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

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

If you look closely at the far right circle stick, you can see virtual arrows around it and a very faint virtual "a" and more visible "b" virtual button.

What seperates this from a simply touch screen interface is the fact that the user can reconfigure the background imagery/video and virtual button layout.

Say Link gets hit with a fire spell, the whole controller face would erupt in orange flames. Or glow red for damage. Green for health.

 

[Malus]

Real or fake at least its some fuel to pour on the NX speculation thread fire.

 

[Pancake Mix]

That power brick or data cable hanging out of the controller/device is classic Nintendo...I wouldn't be surprised if this is real.

 

[Kodaman]

:rolleyes

 

[prwxv3]

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.

If they pull another wiiu (expensive controller bringing the price up) they deserve to have their console divison crash and burn.

 

[RootCause]

If it's true.

How can the mobile gaming detractors(no button movement) turn around and be supportive of this?
Seems very hypocritical.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

Anybody recognize the "game"?

looks like a fzero track or a metroid level

 

[Ninja Scooter]

for some reason it reminds me of

 

[Magusx]

This NX picture is the same as

Same kind of mindfuck

[Killer Queen]

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

I mean, if this controller is real I'm a lot less interested in the console and I think it's fair to say others feel the same.

For new page since it may get lost on next:

Multiple light sources, ambiguous angles? The lighting looks fine to me, my issue is with the content of that reflection. Why the fuck is there a dog in it?

Ahh yes I see the virtual buttons now



This feels real when combined with the patent

 

[Doc Holliday]

If real, what a waste of money and r & d.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

If it's true.

How can the mobile gaming detractors(no button movement) turn around and be supportive of this?
Seems very hypocritical.

same way they've pivoted on micro-transactions and DLC.

 

[Boogdud]

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

Wasn't there talk of Nintendo using some odd pressure sensitive buttons instead of traditional sticks in the NX thread? I didn't think even they could be that crazy, but you never know.

 

[Neoxon]

If what the source is claiming proves to be true, then we should expect...

• Haptic buttons on screen
• Joystick force feedback
• 2 buttons in top analog "roll" like a computer mouse

Force feedback for the joysticks aside, these line up with the other patents (almost too well). And the sticks kinda remind me of the ones on the Sega Saturn's analog controller.

If you look closely at the image itself, it looks like it says 62.[something]fps, which is a bit impressive for what appears to be a UE4 demo. And you can see some of the haptic buttons at work (note the B button & what appears to be an A button that's hard-to-see due to the in-game lighting).

 

[rrs]

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

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

it's an aftermarket N64 controller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONzx_BK40SE

 

[Atheerios]

Anybody recognize the "game"?

Apparently it's an Unreal Engine 4 tech demo.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

It would be weird that it would be a 1 to 1 copy of the patent pictures. Those are usually drawn to illustrate and concept than a straight prototype.

 

[James Scott]

I imagine the sticks could be used in place of buttons (right stick=a) but it would leave the system without a d pad which would be unusual.

Looks like Halo 5.

Biggest megaton here.

 

[antonz]

People saying Patents generally don't show the real things are true but do not forget patents for the Wii U in 2011. Had a controller design that was 95% accurate to the final design.

In fact the Patent had a near final gamepad design but was still showing a console that looked like the Wii instead of the Wii U

 

[Aselith]

If it's true.

How can the mobile gaming detractors(no button movement) turn around and be supportive of this?
Seems very hypocritical.

Can you provide an example of someone who was?

 

[Zocano]

I mean that does follow along with the patent for the controller Nintendo filed not too long ago (forget when, giantbomb beastcast discussed it a bit but I forgot the episode).

 

[Trago]

Fuck it, let me use my Wii U Pro controller on the new system.

 

[Plinko]

I mean, if this controller is real I'm a lot less interested in the console and I think it's fair to say others feel the same.

That's fine, but saying it will bomb worse than Wii U based off a picture of the controller?

That's GAF-level after the Wii controller was revealed. Go back into that classic thread to see those reactions.

 

[AGoodODST]

Multiple light sources, ambiguous angles? The lighting looks fine to me, my issue is with the content of that reflection. Why the fuck is there a dog in it?

Where is the dog lol?

 

[Ivan]

Please no, Nintendo. Please.

 

[friskykillface]

ugly as fuck and no buttons 0_o cmon Nintendo

unless they are on the back which would be kinda cool actually



idk man, wii u gamepad was a mess so idk, I want to believe lol

 

[bachikarn]

What is a haptic button

 

[RowdyReverb]

I showed it to my baby on my iPad and asked "Is this real, or is it a hoax?" She then proceeded to spit up milk everywhere. Take that as you will

 

[Toxi]

After much analysis, definitely fake.

Flip it over and invert the colors and you can see the image it's modified from.

 

[hughesta]

I like it :c

 

[dmr87]

for some reason it reminds me of

"Doctor, we need to amputate"

 

[Doctre81]

For new page since it may get lost on next:

The light could be blurred because they took a pic of a screen using a cell phone camera. I have recorded wiiu footage off my tv a couple times and it had some weird brightning only on the screen.

 

[E92 M3]

That has to be fake!

....

 

[chaosblade]

What is a haptic button

A fake button that provides some feedback when you push it. Your phone probably has some sort of implementation where it vibrates a little when you press certain digital "buttons."

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Halo 5 Elite Homeworld.

 

[reelbigtink]

Like 99% negative reaction here.

I think it looks pretty awesome.

 

[Nickle]

Apparently it's an Unreal Engine 4 tech demo.

Wow UE4 confirmed for NX

 

[Nokagi]

That has to be fake!

....

Fake or a Nintendo product. Hard to decide.

 

[CharminUltra]

And then I saw her face

Now I'm a believer

 

[Matrix XII]

Yeah I'm really hoping this is fake.

Looks terribly uncomfortable to hold for any length of time.

 

[MikeE21286]

Wow UE4 confirmed for NX

It could run all the new Square Enix games. Which would make sense because wasn't DQ11 announced for NX?

 

[Splendor]

After much analysis, definitely fake.

Flip it over and invert the colors and you can see the image it's modified from.

This post gives me strength.

 

[bomblord1]

I mean, if this controller is real I'm a lot less interested in the console and I think it's fair to say others feel the same.

It's incredibly disheartening to know so many people feel this way when I fell in love with the design after seeing the leak on another site.

Now if the real controller looks even remotely like this I know people are going to riot when I want it to be similar to this

Like 99% negative reaction here.

I think it looks pretty awesome.

Same

 

[Nanashrew]

I mean that does follow along with the patent for the controller Nintendo filed not too long ago (forget when, giantbomb beastcast discussed it a bit but I forgot the episode).

I remember. People freaked out over it not understanding how patents even work and that it only described possible functionalities and ideas, nothing really concrete on design as plenty of patents showed off different controller types before too. I still don't believe this to be real.

 

[Elfforkusu]

No physical buttons == disaster.

Hopefully it's fake!

 

[Walpurgis]

RIP Nintendo. It's been fun.

 

[BY2K]

:rolleyes

Like I said, the guy just made a collage of most rumors and patents we have already seen so far.

 

[Heroman]

It is fake, there is no d pad.
