Forums - Nintendo - "Alleged" photo of NX controller "leaked": We might as well discuss this now

Edwardooo on 18 March 2016

I don't even understand why you're discussing this ? It's obviously fake. I mean, seriously, it's a reddit user who claims that a straight 1:1 copy of a patent with the top of a pic from the UE4 tech demo tapped on it.

Guys.

Does anyone need a hint why it's fake?

 

Yes, please.

They did a photoshop test on it though. It's not a photoshop. Fake or not, the object in that picture is a real object.

You can hide photoshop edits with after the fact photography.   Or it could just be a piece of paper glued to the plastic.

Data transfer.

So someone 3D prinited a idea from the patent fileings, and made this in plastic.

Went and prinited out a picture, and cut and glued it onto the plastic fake?

That seems like alot effort to go through.

Screen light. Thumb sticks aren't light by the screen.

Thats the 1 thing that makes me still think it could be fake.

Could you elaborate on this?

Why would they be lit by the screen? They're polar view from the light body.

When Nintendo was asked which games they were going to make for smartphones, Iwata made it clear that Virtual Console was not up for consideration because the differences in control input would not serve the experiences well. There is an understanding that the lack of physical buttons is detrimental, so why would Nintendo make a controller without them? It would be detrimental for many of their longrunning IPs, and those are among the cornerstones that have to sell the hardware. A controller like this supposed prototype would tremendously undermine Nintendo's aspirations to sell a lot of dedicated gaming hardware.

That makes it a stupid idea. I can't think of any angle that would make such a controller a good consideration for Nintendo. Therefore it can't be real.

Ah, but by abandoning the archaic models of yesteryear, Nintendo will finally be free to truly embrace its inner creativity and create unlimited surprises for customers. Virtual Console games may need buttons, but Virtual Console games are by definition The Past, and by and large Virtual Console has been properly relegated to the dustbin at NoA/NoE. Moreover, the casuals clearly find buttons intimidating, so this way Nintendo will once again have a system stupd enough to get them back into that golden Blue Ocean.

This act of genius is demonstrable proof that Nintendo is embracing the future and giving the people what they really want. B3L13V3!!!

He could have been referencing the audience on mobile and the types of games that do best on them as opposed to the input.

I'm just being the devil's advocate. I know it's a stupid idea, but Nintendo makes stupid mistakes. Nintendo made two Zelda games controlled primerily with a stylus. They also made Star Fox Zero.

Hint number 3.

 

In Layton games, after Hint no.3, there comes the ultimate explanation that put a rest to any problem or conflict one might be having with the puzzle at hand.

 

I'm hoping you'll do something like that after this last comment?

Not for someone looking for attention.
