If you go to Google Maps and look for Massive Entertainment it looks as if most of the trees are removed now. Unfortunately I have 300 kilometres to Malmö so I can not check myself.

If these pics are fake, they're impressively fake.




I'm hoping that I have stumbled upon this while having a violent nightmare. When I wake, from whatever this is, everything will be back to normal!

Anyways, I'm not too big on the lack of physical buttons. I've tried playing games on my cellphone that has the buttons on the screen and I absolutely hated it! This "controller" definitely doesn't look fake, obviously, but hopefully this is not for the NX!



I hope they use the funtionality quite well.
I thuink right now. Let's assume they make a zelda strategy like with twilight and bring it out on old and new system. How could they align the wiiu and the nx concept?
I think the 2 designs are not too far apart.
- make good use of the buttons using touch
- use the pad horizontally and vertically
- show area map on the pad-display
- only allow 1 weapon, like sword, bow, bumerang, etc. At a time and put all functions on the pad
- use pad display for many other infos



I'm happy to say that's real. It'd be a good laugh. 



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

If it's tactus tech then it could feel like a real button. Or at least close to it.

I've looked it up, and yes, such technology could make this controller viable. You could feel buttons on the surface of the touchscreen and you would get haptic feedback when pressing them. That these buttons can form anywhere on the screen also means that it can be a fully customizable layout for the user on a game by game basis.

I still don't believe that this is the real deal, but if it is and uses Tactus, then it wouldn't be too bad.

"All this excitement has me doing some digging! I looked into Tactus Technology, maker of the morphable touch screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4eh-Cn3Pzk

Several of their patents, ranging from 2014-2015 cite Nintendo. The citation is usually for Nintendo's patent of the Wii U controller.

It's critical to note that these parents also reference dozens of other companies and patents, so this is by no means an indication that the two are working together - but it's interesting to look at.

Here are the patents in question (to see images you likely have to go to the "External Links" section.

System and methods for raised touch screens     https://www.google.com/patents/US8717326?dq=inassignee:tactus+inassignee:technology+game&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjegffywNfLAhWLw4MKHWVHBlA4ChDoAQhaMAk

There is more - you can see my general search here"



I cant see myself playing this without buttons.



I will reserve judgement till I know more about it, but my initial hopes are that it is fake because it concept scares me lol.

I still think that this is the NX handheld, and not the console. I also happen to be one of the only people that think it's going to be amazing! I can't wait to get this!!!

Not sure if this has any credibility but http://imgur.com/r9vRQTg?r

Doctor Cupcakes says this is fake


You think Nintendo is going to have people go "yes thats real, its a prototype of ours" ? when asked if the rumored pictures are real?

They are only allowed to answear "its a fake".

I may be wrong but I can't recall a time when a Nintendo official called something fake (offically or unoffically) and then later have Nintendo go "yeah, it was real".  When something is leaked that Nintendo didn't want leaked, I usually see them either go into full damage control like with the SuperMetalDave leaks or just stay silent.
