It's frighteningly close to a concept. No one is doubting that the controller COULD involve Sharp screens and novel mechanics in some way. It's just that copying exactly an example of the concept should've been the first flag.
Which it was for me.

Of course it was fake it was a carbon copy of the patent filing image.

It wasn't even a carbon copy. It was misinterpreted.
The handles were missing from the patent.
That part was the most fishy to me.

Well, the patent did mention the possibility of no handles as well. Patent pictures don't need to be an exact match for the product always, unless it's for the outer surface design itself. It also had pentagon joysticks.
Watch Nintendo give us like 1 or 2 buttons besides this and we'll all be singing hallelujah.
lol...Gaf is so great sometimes.

I was a skeptic #TeamReal hahaha
I could quote all my posts from the thread, by the end of it I was just too lazy to change my avi. But I said the same thing yesterday.

Prototype? You don't need a prototype to submit a patent.
DAYUM! Quote of the year hahah
In the 10+ years I've been on gaf there has only been a couple of insiders who leak or confirm anything even slightly important. OTOH there are now about 20 or so posters who have a following as insiders who couldn't have contributed less new worthwhile information.
heh

Damn, why everybody pretends "Oh I knew it since the begining!"...
Anyway, I personally didn't believe at all at the first leak, the screen was too blurry and the "flash" effect was weird... Just I couldn't believe it was real. But the second one, the black one, I really started to believe in it, it seemed real to me. And now we know that even this 2nd leak was a fake, since everything in the design is similar, even the "black stickers" on it at the bottom.

LOL, I knew it! I did the same hoax back in 2011, when I released those "leaked images" of the Wii2 
For a 3D artist is so easy to fool people!

Yeah it was also based on a previously "leaked patent design", it looket really like a modem, hahaha.
It was rendered in KeyShot, it fooled a lot of folks.

When the first one is a fake, one that copies it almost exactly is presumable another fake of the same cloth (as the first faker acknowledges).

Wouldn't it be in the best interest for a company to come forth and say it's a fake?

Confidentiality is everything, and NDA is god. Even people at Nintendo wouldn't be able to confirm or deny these sort of hoaxes without actually revealing anything.
NX is their saving throw and people were looking for a 1.
oh man hilarious
