if its genuine: what a terrible mistake by Nintendo. on screen physical buttons are extremely important for serious gaming, there is no way someone is going to be able to play a skill based difficult game with enough control using touch screen based buttons or weird mouse scroll things on the top of the handheld (or controller)
Lets hope to god this is a fake because this sort of controller is not what Nintendo fans want and most likely not what other types of fans want either.
Nintendo had an easy gameplan for the next gen: make a high spec handheld or home console that was HIGHLY accessible to all kinds of gamers. not do another gimmick nonsense. I respect them for trying to stay ahead of trends or attempting to make trends, but that controller looks awful for comfortable gaming, regardless of if it possibly is just a controller for the home console
It brings you back to thought of trying to game on a mobile phone with mainly just touch buttons (which can be absolutely horrifyingly bad for advanced games).
hopefully this is simply another person screwing around trying to validate the original photo in a troll way
