Taco Bell viral marketing confirmed
That's a lot of wasted time just for some internet lulz.
I'm hoping it's an old prototype.

Its a lot of effort to achieve nothing.

I'd kind of want the right stick to be the A button. You'd rarely have to jump and move the camera at the same time and it's a physical button you'll always have your thumb on.
Here's a visual demonstration of how I see it all working. Basically the buttons labeled "A" and "B" are not physical, the screen uses haptic feedback to make virtual buttons feel like physical ones so each game can have its own setup. As you can see in the image Super Mario 3D World is limited to just run and jump as those are the only inputs the game uses, other games make have 4 virtual buttons or 6 or 12. Whether a Dpad will be in the final product is interesting, perhaps the exchangeable buttons patent we saw? We could even switch the analog sticks for circle pads to benefit portability.
Though it would make running hard to do
I really hope this is the case, but Rosti stirred the pot with his post. I guess we shall see.

It's more difficult than just photoshopping something, since it requires the use of a 3D printer. I can definitely be done - especially by a college student with free time and access to their school's 3D printer or something. There are articles on kotaku about people doing elaborate fakes for fun. It's definitely possible this is fake.

If it is real, it is more of an evolution of the Wii U tablet controller.
The problem with the Wii U tablet is that it is big, bulky and has a huge border around the screen. So putting the tablet controller up to your TV screen blocks your view. This new controller fixes those issues.

So is making up elaborate fakes, but this isn't even the most elaborate one we've seen. We've had people faking much more than this. People on the internet are attention whores. Some of them desperately want their 15 minutes of fame for some bizarre reason

You don't need your own 3D printer, and you can download Blender for free. Faking something like this wouldn't really take that much effort at all. It's a fairly simply model and photoshop job and 3d printing something like that would cost a couple of bucks

Can a GameCube controller be plugged into it?

People on the internet fake everything, I wouldn't put this past som guy who is bored and wants to have a laugh
Have you met the internet?
And putting thumb pads (they are not sticks) in the screen, lol.
Well that basically confirms its a handheld

It seems to be about a 50/50 split of believers and naysayers, but the most damning strikes against it are:
1) The screen is displaying a still from a public UE4 demo video.
2) It lacks Nintendo's trademark ergonomics.
3) It's a near 1:1 copy of a patent design, and patent designs usually use extremely basic, broad
images to convey information as simply as possible.
4) The photo has been up on many news sites for over half a day now and Nintendo has done nothing about it.
I think it's safe to say it's fake.

This is the exact frame that was used. You can tell from the various parallax elements that converge at that moment ( pillars, branches etc. ).
Quick & dirty perspective overlay ( close enough though ) ...
Interesting, can't see your vid unfortunately but I see how it is cropped. I had wondered if the camera would let you peek around to see more, the new 3ds already uses the right tech for that but for a different reason.
Yup I'm pissed the phone industry hasn't gotten this message. I'm so pissed phones these days are not bulky and have less buttons. They should stop removing stuff for convenience.
It would've added mousewheel-like R1/L1 buttons tho. INNOVATION
Yep. It's off centre and the field of view is counter-intuitively freaking tiny. Makes no sense.
*points at fake Rayman leak for Smash 4*
I don't think it will be settled anytime soon unless one of our insiders like Matt or Harker decide to chime in.

Assuming it's not fake, this is just a tech demo running on the hardware. First party titles would actually be designed to fit the form factor.
We don't know what the resolution would be, but using a wider field of view might make details too small.

Comparing orange with apples here. Phone soesnt require precise output. Thats why planes still use physical commandes and not giant touchscreens

That's nice, but clearly as time goes on there seems to be less and less of you. And that's a problem for Nintendo, which in turn could be a problem for you and the kinds of games you enjoy. You can't just live in this bubble where sales don't matter and you're just gonna be able to keep plucking Nintendo games off a Nintendo tree forever.
The thing is, if they are on NDA, they won't say a thing if it's real.

That put his Youtube channel on the map though, this can't benefit the person who faked it, if they even did fake it.
Link to Rösti post?

Totally agree with you, i have no problem with second screen but the design of the wiiu controller really made it painful to play for long, i am starting to enjoy the new concept after the initial shock!

At my college we once had a professionally printed forgery of one of our magazines distributed on campus. Complete with it's own photos, pictures and graphics. It would take the best senior a week and a some money to do, a mechatronics student and a friend with Photoshop could do this fake in an afternoon, not saying it is fake, but it's completely possible.

If true I hope this isn't their selling point.
Remember Nintendo ON ?
That's as plausible an idea as any.
At this point, we're all just "making believe" and spinning our wheels for the hell of it.
I think that the leaker on reedit said it were scrollable shoulder buttons but then again it look like a full patent copy so i dont know..
It has never been true.
Like this...
That looks pretty good to me.

Oh my god. You really believe what you wrote ?
Removing input on a controller is more convenience ? The thing looks bulkier and inconvenient now come on.

Looks cool but the sides of the screen would be hidden under my thumbs, thus making it pointless and a waste of money for nintendo and the customers because they could go for a smaller traditional screen. The advantage I can see is that this controller can also act as an independent handheld, thus staying true to the concept of the NX, therefore...

No I'm talking about the era when they actually had almost every major genre covered and were leading the market. The success of PlayStation/XBox shows that the meaning of 'fun' has drastically shifted away/evolved from what Nintendo thinks it is (And yes, blablabla Wii, blablabla DS).
