Okay so what about the second leak, though?

The controller was identical? Another fake?

Couldn't someone easily duplicate the one from the original leak? It wouldn't make sense for the first leak to be fake, but the second to be real unless that first guy has divine powers or something.

Why they do this!???? To test their post-production skills in Photoshop and in 3D software???

And to troll us, which the guy seemingly enjoyed based on the video.

 

[Dennis]

I never believed it for a second!

 

[DNAbro]

Watch the actual NX controller still look like that though.

 

[Gormless Noodle]

I said it before, but I bet the real thing is gonna be even weirder. BELIEVE!

 

[cacildo]

I still want an oval smartphone/game console hybrid

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

damn, i was convinced

I GOT GOT

No. The actual controller really looks like this mockup.
Of course it's another fake lmao

 

[Hot Coldman]

I was looking forward to playing as Rayman in Smash 4 on it

 

[Fantomas]

didn't really look at those threads...but wasn't there something about gameinformer.

Andy Mac from GI heard a rumor that the NX controller had no face buttons, but he couldn't confirm it.

 

[Modoru]

#teamreal's gonna be showin' up real soon, surely

 

[KingBroly]

Didn't a Nintendo guy tweet on the subject of this supposed leak suggesting that it was simply laughable?

He didn't suggest anything, though.

He did delete that tweet, at least.

Probably to share it with other treehouse members to laugh.

 

[xzeldax3]

In before everyone says they knew it

Too late

 

[eviltasan]

LAWDY !

 

[KageZero]

Now for the double troll when the leak was real in the end...

 

[Bulbasaur]

Nothing is real

 

[akileese]

I guess someone really did go through all of that trouble to troll the internet. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong!

 

[Smellycat]

Lol

It was fun though

The second fake was even more impressive

 

[Dmax3901]

It's a brave new world of fake capabilities.

 

[-Horizon-]

Everyone's status: played like a fiddle

 

[mcrommert]

Yeah but the second one

I will keep this picture to show my shame

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

GameInformer and Andy Mcnuggets need to take an L too.

 

[Sun Bather]

but... what about the trees?

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Thank fuck.

 

[Cartman86]

Fake fake leak.

Spoiler

Plug looks fake in video

 

[GOOCHY]

Pretty great!!

You got got! You got got!

 

[ViciousDS]

Thank you god!

 

[Oni Link 666]

Phew! I'm relieved. That thing looks like a Vita and smartphone mashup.

 

[geeko]

😂😂😂

Well, that was fun while it lasted. That concept started to grow on me after a while. Man, I love the craziness of new console speculation.

 

[Jonbo298]

It is the best of times.

It is the worst of times.

 

[MrV4ltor]

Yeah but the second one

I will keep this picture to show my shame

The second one looked identical, so unless this guy had Nintendo's design documents of the thing and only fucked up on the color, it's fake too.

 

[3phemeral]

Weren't there even posts with image-editing analysis software verifying the images weren't doctored with renders in any way, as confirmed by forensic algorithms!?

 

[NightShift]

TeamCG always wins. Frankly I'm glad but the fact that I believed Nintendo would make something like that is concerning.

 

[NHarmonic.]

This is good news.

 

[mgarnica89]

Where is this photo from though? Same guy?

 

[10k]

#TeamFake represent!

 

[BiggNife]

The second image looked way more legit, though

No idea how that one could've been faked

 

[-Horizon-]

but... what about the trees?

The power of the fox engine

 

[ZOONAMI]

Vindicated. Lol at all you peeps saying I'm in denial.

 

[woxel1]

So what about the tree?!?!

EDIT: Beaten XD

 

[Rapscallion]

And the video game industry collectively sighed in relief.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

What if the real NX is even worse?!

LMAO

 

[Tathanen]

Unless it's real and this guy removed it from the photo and re-added it exactly to throw us off the trail!!!

 

[Skux]

 

[MrV4ltor]

Where is this photo from though? Same guy?

Why does it matter? It's the literally the same controller in another color. How could it possibly be real if the other one is fake?

 

[Sai-kun]

oh my god amazing

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Well, he got us. It was a very convincing fake. So, we are back now to square one.

LOL, at all of us and at the giant thread on the controller.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

HA

vindication

 

[daTRUballin]

Ha! Good. That means we still have hope for the NX to be something better than that.

 

[Zyae]

 

[The Cartographer]

Phew.
