I, i just want to press some buttons man
I still believe this thing has back paddles. Need some pictures of the back.
Funny this does remind me of the reaction to the Wii Remote.

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.
[*]Is this a HDMI cable that we can see above the controller ? Can you plug the cable in the controller and play on your tv ?
I'm gonna need to see this in action before bringing out the torches and pitchforks...like everyone else in this thread
Nintendo knows comfortable controllers first and foremost. I can't see them screwing that aspect up.
This. My hands are gonna cramp so hard without rests for my fingers

Imagine Metroid on this. Imagine F-Zero on this. Imagine all your favorite games are on this. And imagine playing these with no buttons.
Real. This has Iwata's fingerprints all over it. Another horrible gimmick.
The screen is a haptic screen that will be used to to create digital buttons with physical feedback. It's actually really cool if it works well, because it means any part of the screen can become a button, and that you could possibly do stuff like customize the exact position of face buttonsSo that entire surface is a screen? Seems pointless. Your hands will cover up the corners. Could put face buttons there instead. I don't get it. Why is screen space you can't really use, a priority over useful functionality? Hope that changes.
Guess what everyone this console isn't for you. Its for those that have grown up with tablet gaming.

i.e. GTFO Gen X and Y this isn't your console.
I still think lack of buttons is a reactionary response from people who have no real understanding of the concept of haptic technology. I'm not sure how well the technology will work, but theoretically it could simulate a physical button really well, while providing additional advantages not present with them.
Honestly, if anything concerns me, it's that the cost of the controller will likely be pretty high. Though they'll likely have pro controller equivalents anyways if that's the case

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.
I'd actually be fine with it if it simply had handles.
That controller is gonna kill major 3rd party titles from being ported.
Unless Nintendo plans to only port F2P ios games.
We don't know that until we've tried it, taptic engine on AppleWatch and the feedback on the Steam Controller both feel pretty good. If Nintendo use a refined version, built specifically for gaming, this just might work.
I still think about it as a smartphone with the added benefit of real sticks, not a traditional controller without real buttons.
Well, I've lost all interest in NX if that is real.
I don't care what the console is or how powerful it is. I don't care how many good exclusives they throw onto it. I don't care about how sleek everything is.
I am not using THAT.

FU, Gen X-er here and I'm not only interested, I'm starting to let myself get excited since this is seeming more and more real.
The hype train is the best train!
