Support NeoGAF

[Orbis]

Silly season is here. Probably fake but you have to admire the effort. But then it could be an actual prototype, just not something close to final.

 

[FZZ]

Everyone on GAF is a hater

As long as they add the handles like they have on the patent, I'm game. Shit looks dope.

Even with dem nipple analog sticks, but they'll probably be more traditional when it launches.

 

[secretanchitman]

Looks terrible and I hope it is fake.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I'm gonna assume this is fake cuz this is the worst controller I've ever fuckin' seen

 

[Orayn]

Chain of custody on this is Reddit account made 2 hours ago -> Dual Pixels (who claimed the Redditor as their "exclusive source") -> Destructoid.

Personally I'm pretty skeptical. It's way too on the nose for the patent drawing, and the Redditor's posts about it are a random collection of other patent tidbits.

 

[Melkezadek]

Can I please just have a normal controller, please?

These controller designs have turned me off from their consoles since the N64.

 

[maniac-kun]

Thats the worst controller I have ever seen lol.

 

[The Argus]

Sharp would be making these displays, which also own the patent to this technology.

Wow, totally forgot that Nintendo worked with Sharp on the 3DS. My bad. It being a Sharp patent is much more believable.

I'm looking forward to $100 extra and replacement controllers, that is if they actually offer them.

 

[Crzy1]

Awww yeah... those phone ergonomics but with thumbsticks... the future really is now. I hope this is fake. :/

 

[Oni Link 666]

Is that a dog on the top right?

 

[BassForever]

Would be fine if the screen didn't go around the sticks looks really awkward the way it is

 

[Doctre81]

This reminds me of the reaction to the wiimote when it was first shown without the nunchuck...which leads me to believe this could be legit....wow

 

[toastyToast]

While it does look weird it could have some lumpy shit on the back to make it comfortable

 

[chaosblade]

That looks absolutely horrible, to the point it would legitimately turn me off buying the platform. All else aside, buttons or no deal. NX would be the first Nintendo console I'd skip since the NES.

 

[Griss]

Hooo-eeee! I was not expecting this whole carnival to start today!

I'm firmly calling fake, but it's a damn good fake!

Spoiler

Please be fake!

 

[orioto]

At best it's a stolen prototype that has been in Nintendo's trash bin for years.

 

[Peterthumpa]

I'm sure it's a smartphone as well. Running Windows Phone.

 

[NHarmonic.]

looks awful.

 

[spazchicken]

This thing has no physical buttons.

Nintendo wouldn't make a thing with no physical buttons.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

What the DICKENS!!?

 

[Regulus Tera]

I hope it isn't true, but only because this further confirms the death of ergonomics from all out electronics.

 

[trixx]

What the heck? Please.. nooooo

 

[BitStyle]

Fuck. That shit better be fake.

Truth be told the main speculated aspect that I care about with the NX is supposed shared library with its handheld counterpart.

 

[Raist]

Looks legit.

Spoiler

lulz

 

[Rocketz]

oh man

 

[The Artisan]

Ergonomically, that looks extremely uncomfortable.

Nintendo's lost it.

youre half right.

Don't count Nintendo out just yet yo.

 

[Dee Dee]

Drawings in patent applications ≠ final design.

That looks soooo like the drawing, how could that even happen.

 

[VoltySquirrel]

This is so clearly and obviously fake.

Drawings in patent applications ≠ final design.

That looks soooo like the drawing, how could that even happen.

^

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I want to know how someone managed to get a straight-on bright lightsource from over the screen and yet still managed to have an ambient light shadow going off the back of it. The nubs aren't even centered, what the hell angle is that being taken at?

Fake.

 

[-Horizon-]

He also wants to try to make...videos of it to show it's legit? That would make it much more believable, but I wonder if those videos will ever happen, lol

You'll be able to tell its real if you see the shadow of a ninja in the background.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

If real, god dammit Nintendo

 

[Akhe]

I like it = (

 

[eyeball_kid]

This reminds me of that PS3 prototype controller. It just looks too "futuristic" and not very practical to have a weirdly cropped screen and no top buttons. Unlike the PS3 controller, this doesn't even look good.

 

[Doctre81]

Look at the bright side...if this is fake maybe it will make so many rounds that the real controller get leaked or even shown by Nintendo themselves.

 

[Kurdel]

lol people biting

 

[Yado]

The "screen" is probably a piece of paper glued to plastic

 

[Papercuts]

what

the

fuck

 

[N.Domixis]

looks strange, but feels like it would hurt. Are there even real buttons? Looks like a screen button.

 

[Defect]

If real, looks like shit.

 

[Askherserenity]

Nah. It's for sure fake.

 

[morpix]

legit since an uncle of a friend of mine who is a game dev tested it

Confirmed.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Dem nipples

 

[Rebel Leader]

This better be fake.

 

[Tripy73]

What the shit is this if it's true, this is not for me.

 

[Dovahking]

please be fake lol

 

[Chanser]

Wow!

Image made me say it.

 

[K' Dash]

Someone Photoshops sticks on a rearview mirror and it's news time!

 

[Chuck]

Like, it doesn't look comfortable in anyway.

 

[Malus]

This reminds me of that PS3 prototype controller. It just looks too "futuristic" and not very practical to have a weirdly cropped screen and no top buttons. Unlike the PS3 controller, this doesn't even look good.

Put it in a display case with some lights and Zelda on the screen and it'd look pretty dope.

 

[Escalario]

Time to laugh at people that believe this.
