Doctor Cupcakes says this is fake

Friend of mine from NoE says that the 'NX images' are completely fake.

As a handheld I get it but as a controller... how do I press buttons that arent there without looking??

You think Nintendo is going to have people go "yes thats real, its a prototype of ours" ? when asked if the rumored pictures are real?

They are only allowed to answear "its a fake".

Many people, myself included, will tell you that he is very credible. 

However, there are others who are more skeptical of his claims.

I don't feel well.

I believe one of his biggest scoops was the existance of the Shovel Knight Amiibo. 

He also, along with Emily Rogers, broke the Paper Mario Wii U news.

He mainly does videos for Unseen 64 though, about cancelled games. 

I'm pretty sure he does have legit insider connections though...

Ugh... I really hope not...

It's not even that I think the design is all that horrible. It's just that... why?

The two screened thing didn't take off with the Wii U, and I don't see the lack of buttons making it all that much more appealing.

Hardcore gamers obviously won't like this, and are casual gamers going to be falling all over themselves to try out haptic joysticks? If this is the NX's selling point, I don't see any reason for it to be more successful than Wii U.

I'll reserve judgement until Nintendo shows the feats of this controller but I hope/think it's fake.

The only thing that works for me on touch screens is tower defence. When I want Mario to jump or Link to slash, I like the accuracy of buttons.

Thanks to the new patent protected design, I don't think the low sticks will be a problem though. And by using stick press as the new action buttons (e.g. jump and slash) I think that could innovate the way you use a controller and might end up working. R3 and L3 are so underused on my PS4 maybe with good reason but with Nintendo's new sticks they'll probably get more love.

I don't know. I hope for the best. Generally I prefer when Nintendo innovates through software rather than hardware. The Pro Controller is more than good enough for me.

It could work as a portable console.... but as a controller? I don´t know

I really hope this isn't true. The lack of physical buttons would completely kill it for me.
