The pattent diagram shows the internal function, not the external covering.

So tell me how that's going to move.

Pretty much the same as a nipple.

Interesting, now Nintendo's ninjas know where to go! But who is Massive?

I won't be too sure on that, When zoomed in, the reflection to me looks like the tree has white Bark. Which doesn't match the trees outside. My guess would be a Birch tree.

Never heard of massive before. But appears they are working on the division...... NX port?

Dammit, We are so desperate to know whether this is false or true that we study and compare every pixel of the image. The tree is the key XD



You know it deserves the GOTY.

This drawing shows how much it moves: not very much.

The hole for the pad is four pixles!

Guys, one thing to bear in mind here is that, this obviously is not the manner in which Nintendo intended the NX controller to be revealed (let's be real, this is not fake).

My point is that, perhaps when it's properly unveiled and we see it "in action," it'll all make sense.

I'm reminded of when we first saw images of the Wii Remote and no one could believe how that could be a substitute for a traditional controller. And then we saw someone standing in front of their TV swinging it playing Wii Sports, and the lightbulb went off in everyone's minds.

Certainly not saying this will happen with the NX as well, just something to keep in mind...

The Wiimote didn't to that though. It didn't replace the traditional controller. The majority of people still hate that thing.



I love the idea of bridging home console and handheld. Wish i could do it with PS4 and Vita. But gotta agree about the buttons issue. This isn't going to work. Remote play on Vita without triggers already is somewhat of a bother, not having real face buttons is even worse.
I don't understand who they're going after here. In the west there is not much of an overlap between mobile and console gamers. This isn't going to please any of them. Leaves only Japan, where this could actually take off because that overlap does exist, but what kind of strategy is that? Japan can't pull all the weight

The Wii U Pad was intended to incorporate smart device elements. It was failure at this because a) it looked low-tech compared to a tablet and b) it was bulky and the touch screen was far away from the other controls, requiring you to move your hands. The NX pad is far better execution at this.

Now, is the whole idea a good one is debatable, but there is no question the NX looks like a far better executed and appealing device.

But does it look better when you have to add in the fact that the picture on the NX gamepad is going to be cut off at numerous points, or the display is going to be pretty small. (Essentially form over function.)



What I hate about the gamepad screen is that it's going to needlessly raise the price of the NX with a concept that was both largely unused on the Wii U and (outside of some outliers like Mario Maker and Splatoon) made gameplay awkward when they tried to implement it into anything other than inventory management or maps.



I'm still likely to try it out, if this is legit. Could of squared off the sides a bit though.

This is how the stick is described in patent 20150355768   http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2015/0355768.html

But look at the actual pics.  The thumbsticks are a solid piece of palstic with no means of movement even according to that patent image.

No there's definitely a separation between the disk at the top and the rest of the bump. I didn't see it in the first leak, but it's pretty obvious here.
