I don't want that future. Nobody does. Except Pachter.

Well I haven't really wanted what Nintendo's dubbed the "future" for a while, so we're probably not the chief focus for Nintendo. 

This, if true, is probably Nintendo desperately hoping to get back today's modern kids who are hooked on smartphone games. 

If they slapped a cheap iPhone 5/Samsung Galaxy S5 chip into a controller like this for a few bucks, it could run Android apps and probably DS and VC games too. 

Sell that for $99 ... suddenly maybe some of these parents buy this NX controller at least. 

I don't like it for my personal tastes, but I can see the logic behind it. 

True, give it more of the 3ds sliders for the analog sticks, and you don't have to worry about breaking it when carrying it around in your pocket. Remove the buttons for the same reason (being confortable when carrying it in a pocket). Suddenly, Nintendo portables are at schools again.
