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

No, it was about control inputs. I am too lazy to dig up the quotes right now, but Iwata said quite a few things about games that will or won't come to smartphones.

Individual games are not comparable to entire video game systems. If a game idea fails, it fails on its own. An entire system, however, affects all games on it to varying degrees.

Good enough for me.

I meant to point out that those are more liek debug kits than the actual development hardware.   For those devices that have a video feed to them (Wii U Gamepad or portable consoles), they have an attacked coaxial video cable.  Given that they are wireless devices, they won't use a standard proprietary plug port like the older consoles.  It would have a standard USB port for charging and a special coaxial cable for video during testing.

 

So you told me to go find some dev kit photo to tell me the photo I found is useless because I had to find a photo with video feed? Why give me half the info then?

And by the way, WiiU doesn't support coaxial video cable, even being a wireless device. I don't understand where you're trying to go, and my technical knowledge is limited, but your premise is wrong.

Looks pretty bad. I suppose I'd have to hold and use the thing before making a final judgement, but yeah. Hope this isn't the controller.

And here is the dev kit of Wii U 

 

 

 

See anything similar yet ?

Judging by the size of the connector, the device is from 1986



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Wii U dev kit has the same thing apparently. If this is a fake, they did their homework.

Judging by the last decade of being a Nintendo fan, this is very convincing. It's something I look at and I immediately don't want it at all. That said, also judging from the past decade I will have a ton of great experiences on it.

It is true that the response to both of Nintendo's last two controllers initially was generally:

"What the fuck is that?"

lol. It's become the Nintendo way.

Lol, exactly. And if it's any consolation, I still find it more interesting than I did the Wiimote.

To be honest this basically is just the Wii U Game Pad with a different shape.

I'm assuming Nintendo can't possibly dumb enough to not have some option for physical buttons though (I supposed with Nintendo you never know).
