So it's legit.
Stick a fork in Nintendo. They're done.

It is certainly an interesting handheld design.What I don't get is, given the amount of people currently loving their smartphones, clearly there is a desire for touchscreen interfaces. So why so many declaring it'll fail?
I say this will hit with mainstream America a la Wii era and Sony and Microsoft will again be left playing catch up.
I'd actually be fine with it if it simply had handles.
They gave on 3rd party a long time ago.WELP. so third party support will be ?
Consumer only want, what they already have. If you like Old-School controllers there are already two companies, which sell them. What does it help Nintendo, if they try to become the third wheel again?WHY OH WHY NINTENDO?!?
Listen to what your customers want!!!
IF NX has a controller like this... I am OUT!
They will need some fine-ass Nintendo voodoo-magic that was developed in a Kyoto underground lab for ages to make up for not having real buttons
Do you think they're big enough to have gotten an early dev kit, though?
And now that this Finnish/Swedish thing is out there, whoever leaked this has their days numbered.
Assuming it's true.
If the touch-only technology is improved enough over the current state of mobile gaming to where you can actually do "real" gaming on it, why wouldn't people be OK with it?
Vita is vastly superior to this shit
Except that Wii Remote was actually a new idea to most people. The supposed NX controller is just a circular phone with joysticks in the middle of it. Everyone has already done mobile gaming, and this controller is not enough to make people feel like it's something brand new they just have to try.
If there are indeed no physical buttons on the controller, I do not see this console gaining any mass appeal. It will likely be another gimmick that Nintendo is going to have a tough time conveying to the general public, just like with the Wii U. With the Wii at least it was simple, intuitive, and if you show it to somebody, they got it immediately.
EDIT: Also, fighting games are going to be fucking impossible with this thing.
I actually think this is an important point. If Nintendo is trying to push the technology forward to the point where virtual buttons offer a similar level of responsiveness and feedback to physical buttons, isn't that just a good thing for the whole industry?
I haven't read any of the posts in this thread, because there's too much to go. All I have to say is that I don't think this is "THE NX controller." If the NX is really a hybrid system, then this is likely the handheld system (3DS successor) that can also serve as a "Wii U gamepad" for the NX. I think it's safe to assume that the NX will also have traditional controllers.
So pretty much 100% real.
So long Nintendo, this is the end for your console business.
Time to go third party.
Form factor being the shape? Yeah, it's possible. The Wii U gamepad changed it's ergonomics. The DS changed from E3 to the release version
Like I said, physical face buttons are the biggest unknown. The other stuff has been shown to change
The entire point of a dedicated mobile gaming system is so that you can provide an experience that can't be found on tablets and phones - ie, the availability of actual buttons.
I like everything else about this, but the lack of physical buttons changes everything.
If the haptic feedback js good enough, Im fine without face buttons.
