Oh my god its real isn't it?

If you get snap on ergonomic grips like the patent that puts my comfort fears aside
If it has a haptive feedback like the steam controller (and from reading posts like apples 3D touch) then that could work, although i'd prefer physical buttons (although that idea of clip on buttons for could work if refined from the cheap products on the market now

It feels very premium for a nintendo product, very much like i'd have guessed apple would have produced something if they went into gaming - perhaps that is it? appeal to the ipod crowd? have a console that can easily run traditional games but also mobile games?

Could this be the new Wii? but good and by those rumours on par with the competition?

Even if the NX sucks I can still play Mario Maker with sweet buttons til the end of times.

WRONG TREES

Spoiler

j/k

 

[AmyS]

How did it come to this, guys?

 

[Salz01]

Cool. I won't have to buy another Nintendo console. That controller doesn't appeal to me.

 

[hwy_61]

Are we really getting into it with the trees?

Lmao

 

[L Thammy]

I'm honestly befuddled more than anything.

 

[Obliterator]

Has anybody posted to the Wii Remote reveal thread yet? Similar overreactions in there, too.

People keep saying this but to many of us that thread isn't overreaction. The Wii was the worst console I've ever owned, whether it sold well or not

 

[Timeaisis]

Detective-GAF is scary.

 

[Kaako]

Fucking ewwwwwwwww. E3 will be freaking amazing this year, indeed!

 

[321florida]

If it has games that are good and control well I'm there.

All the crying is cool tho.

 

[DoubleYou]

I kinda like it. I'm relieved there'll be a screen on the controller. Mario Maker 2 needs to happen.

 

[nekomix]

So shit is real, OMFG. You'll need really good arguments this time Nintendo.

 

[KingBroly]

How did it come to this, guys?

Gaf > Internet > Gaf strikes again


Again, if buttons end up popping out of the screen, it's going to look like magic to people.

I'm laughing a lot. Please help me.

...the leak is coming from inside the house

 

[Boogdud]

Well, that's interesting...

I think we all should have expected something weird. It's Nintendo, after all.

We should call it "The Stewie".

The SteWii

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Just give me a normal fucking controller

Jesus Christ

 

[Pancake Mix]

It's true...all of it.

It still has a football shape of all things though, which is downright bizarre. I'll wait and see, I probably love Nintendo's gimmicks 70 percent of the time, but no physical buttons are close to a dealbreaker for me, "haptic feedback" or whatever be damned. I do think both leaks were real now though. Neither leaker claimed they weren't prototypes for one, which some people just couldn't wrap their head around.

 

[Kissenkopf]

Lol, we will remember that one with the trees forever on here.

 

[Grisby]

Well, at least Nintendo always tries for something different. I don't like the lack of buttons though.

 

[Kodaman]

.

OMG...lol

 

[BluePikmin11]

I'm not sure where the Virtual Reality NX patent is, if someone could quote me the image it would be appreciated.

 

[carlsojo]

Is it called the SteWii?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Massive--hi gaf

 

[Zombie James]

Yeah, people need to calm down.

The final version will have buttons

What makes you so sure?

 

[jroc74]

This is the only thing that could potentially save the button less controller. Though I highly doubt Nintendo would have adopted this technology without everyone knowing about it via patents etc

Nintendo, please read thru this thread.


Please.

Well, you can't deny that it was revolutionary, and maybe the reason why Wii sold so well.

The SteWii

Perfect.

 

[ElTorro]

How did it come to this, guys?

We need some The Witness pro gamers to compare the shapes of these trees.

 

[Galang]

I would think nintendo has gone through extensive testing to cover the general concerns that would come up regarding response and intuitiveness in terms of the controller.
Say what you will about the game pad, but its not the real reason the Wii U was unsuccessful.

Especially considering Nintendo's stance on buttons. I have complete faith in them

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

How did it come to this, guys?

Lol yea this is crazy. How the fuck do you narrow down a singular, leafless tree? And who's to say someone isn't using a keyboard with a Swedish layout outside of Sweden?

 

[Mendax]

Is it called the SteWii?

no, the TimMiiiii

Lol yea this is crazy. How the fuck do you narrow down a singular, leafless tree? And who's to say someone isn't using a keyboard with a Swedish layout outside of Sweden?

one could cut the image, flip it upside down, resize it and overlay it. for example

 

[Clefargle]

Love it

 

[LuuKyK]

You guys are all wrong, we knew NX since 2007 and its actually called Nintendo Zune.

 

[oti]

They are almost there.

lol

Nintendo's biggest problem with the Wii U is an underutilized controller that can't be unbundled from the system, severely limiting their price flexibility. Instead of uncoupling from that problem, they're going to double down on it?

 

[Theanine3D]

I can learn to live with no face buttons (Nintendo have decades of experience with input schemes. If someone can make digital buttons work well, it'll be them). My main problem is the oval shape. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Just... why?

The only reason I can think of is purely to make it look different from every other device out there. I can't think of technical or ergonomic reasons why it would be better than a regular rectangular shape, and just looking at the oval shape makes it look really uncomfortable to hold.

 

[Aaronrules380]

if its anything like an iPhone 6s +... it doesnt feel anything like a button press... just a weird buzz, no click, no give and take... just a buzz when pressed and a smaller buzz when finger is lifted off the screen.

I wouldn't assume it's idenitcal to the iphone 6S by any means. They compared it to apple, but mostly just to say that it isn't just normal rumble. Apple is probably the most familiar product experience people would likely have with such technology, so it's a good use, but that doesn't mean it's identical in any way shape or form, or even that there isn't more relevant, but less widely used, examples that would be closer to what this is.

I'm going to repeat my stance that this should be a wait for hands on situation. It could be absolutely horrible. But it might not be, so lets wait before we cast judgement

 

[jabberwocker]

Lame last line, no need to be dick about it.

It was a joke. Sorry to have offended.

 

[hal9001]

Looks alright. Does it have haptic feedback?

 

[-Horizon-]

oh my god they're even narrowing down the window

giving the nintendo snipers an easy target now lol

 

[cyba89]

Reacting to the Wii Remote with blibs like "Nintendo is done" is quite an overreaction.

Damn good control scheme, though. Comfortable AF.

Unless they are actively making games, there is no way in hell a mostly marketing office like that would have a dev unit
