And people thought they may have been real?   Seriously?

 

The online video game community is very gullible- 

Well there was this one bird in a tree or something, and it passed the Rigorous Game "Journalism" Source Check™, and Nintendo is fucking nuts, and I really want to play Nintendo games without buying Nintendo consoles even though their shit is kiddy and outdated and I'm way too cool for them, soooooooooo.....

Thank god... I was truly worried.

I'm surprised that people are surprised by this. At least it had the effect of generating a lot of interest in the NX, though maybe not all of it good.

...Generating interest? Really?

You say that like we haven't had a new NX thread every single day since last year. NX has been dominating interest in the industry since Iwata announced it.



This one always looked fake to me, but the later pictures threw me off. Those looked completely real. I hadn't considered the possibility of 3D printing. Didn't tĥink someone would go that far for a prank.

I hope whoever made the second photos comes forward. That was a slick looking piece of hardware, and I'd kinda like to know exactly how they pulled it off. It's amazing that two totally unaffiliated people can coordinate to create such a convincing hoax.



Lol, that was a good fake indeed.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

VGChartz message boards certainly is not the industry, there is disproportionately large group of Nintendo fans here as compared to the real market. 



thanks god, i really dont want another controller with a screen on it, i want a"regular" controler like the wiiu pro



I still think is real. I think him calling it a a fake is the true Hoax and the trolling.

It is real folks, the controller is like that.

You know what, that honestly wouldn't surprise.

Today's "haha, gotcha" video wouldn't have been any harder to fake than the picture itself.

that could be a brilliant evil master plan, but its unlikely
