This is going to be a legendary thread if this turns out to be real come E3. Like seriously, I fully expect a lot of you to eat crow with some of the overreactions in here. Even if this turns out to be what the controller will be, not only is it still part of a dev-kit and can have design changes, but you also haven't even seen it in action. Even if the controller turns out to be completely horrible it still doesn't change the fact that a lot of you are just overreacting and judging this way too soon before you've even seen it in action.

This is almost exactly like when the Wii controller was first revealed and how people reacted to it. We all know how that turned out.

The controller is one of the most important things for a console. Touchscreen controls are imprecise and you can't determine where the button is without looking at the screen without having your not see through thumb in the way. If Nintendo can't fix this huge issue, 3rd party games will be inferior control wise, and Nintendo won't fill in the void. That is worse than having a weak console that you can't port to.

And the Wii turned out to suck for core gamers 3rd party wise.

That's why I, and I guess most of the others, do not like the direction Nintendo is taking now.

Bruh, you don't even know if these pictures are true or not but yet you somehow know the "direction" Nintendo is heading now?

Also, you act as if Nintendo don't know what they are doing with their controllers. You might not like the design choices they may have made, but they make sure the controllers they choose work well. Such as how a lot of the worries people had with the Wii U gamepad were resolved and planned way ahead of time by Nintendo. I hear alot of people say on the Wii U gamepad is that it is a good controller too, despite how people thought of it and whether they liked the decision Nintendo made on using that or a regular control.

If any company were to try a different layout and use touchscreen controls, it would be Nintendo I would trust the most to work out whether it would work or not. 

Like I said, maybe the controller will be completely terrible, maybe it will be completely amazing and revolutionary, but as of right now people are jumping way too early to conclusions. E3 is only 2 and a half months away.
