Confirmed! Nintendo's next controller is a floating cylinder that you jam at with a stick.

Look, LOOK! It's the NX guys!

Seems like an add-on scanner, even a QoL device.

Could be an AR device of some kind?If so, could be exciting!

That is not a NFC reader. That's a projector that looks like it projects images onto a lampshade style "screen". I think this could be NX related.

 

 

Did you guys look at the same pictures in the first post I did? O_O

Its a projector thats lamp shaped that projects images down onto a table.

It has sensors that track your hand/finger movements when on the table surface.

 

It has me thinking Interactive Kinect (like MS style kinect, just a mini version that only tracks hands infront of this device).

Yeah I think you're right.
