this is going around as a "leaked" controller picture.
Personally, I think someone saw the patent and made a version of that. It's quite convincing, but I'm not buying it. Honestly, if that was the controller, this is the first Nintendo console I don't get on launch day since I've been working. |

That looks pretty fucked up..... but also looks kinda faked.
I believe I may buy Nintendo's next console IF........ They give us a proper Metroid game |

There's a story in Nikkei, the Japanese business newspaper that says Wii U production is planned to end this year. It's all signing up.

sweet maybe every Wii U title will become a Nintendo Select and I can get a bunch of good games for $20
already regret paying $70 or w/e for Pokken, not that it's a bad game or anything I just really am apathetic towards fighters |

If the NX is backwards compatible, I don't see WiiU game prices dropping.

If you're dropping full price on games you don't care about, why worry about hypothetical savings?

Oh for sure, I just meant some of the games I was on the fence about, something like Hyrule Warriors for example

Dunno pokken looks pretty fun, and I'm not a big pokemon fan. I like tekken though.

Oh no. Oh god no. I mean, even as a Nintendo fanboy that was all too willing to accept the gamepad, this would make me question things if true. Did I say oh no?

Like, a smaller version of the gamepad? I'm down for. No face buttons? Ughhhh. Still possible to be false of course, but too much smoke for my liking. Last edited by #BROKEN Hasney; 03-23-2016 at 03:23 PM. |

Seems like way too much effort to fake that controller in that way compared to the other one.

In slightly worrying stalkery news, someone seems to think this is leaked by Ubisoft Massive based on the Swedish keyboard layout and the reflection of a tree.

There was mention when that patent came out that Sharp (I think) had some magic button touchscreen/button tech.
I think it might be that thing, after reading Ian Bogost's review of the Wii U again. Its a great read and worth thinking about Nintendo's philosophy http://www.gamasutra.com/view/featur...ant_go_on_.php I think they'll want to make something never seen before |

The white one has buttons on or possibly even deeper inside the screen when you look close. One could be newer or older though, so who knows what they're doing with it.
Touching a screen without any sort of travel time is a deal breaker for me though. I can barely deal with it for my phone or tablet and have keyboard addons for both. |

Its mental.
The thing with Nintendo is, there's no guarantee they will make the controls perfect either. After the Motion Plus they're quite happy to put out wonky stuff. I can't remember being this intruiged |

We need to go deeper.
Size makes sense, but hopefully it would at least come with a plastic shell to clip on some grips. Feel like it would be like the original Wii Classic Controller to hold AKA not nice. |

Really would hope for actual buttons. Really have a hatred for "digital" or "on-screen" buttons/d-pads that dominate tablet/mobile games.

I wore a Nintendo sweatshirt in the early 90s and was ridiculed for it. Now it would be the greatest item of clothing I could own and everyone would high five me. I'm in it for life. The rest of you can fuck off and I'll be perfectly happy smearing my thumb sweat over some fucking weird egg.

Apparently there is another rumored version of the controller floating around Reddit which has the screen feature of the faked oval controller but also has actual buttons and in a more traditional controller shape.
Same source of the rumor debunked the faked oval controllers before the leakers themselves revealed it was hoaxes. Quote:

What's this about a dev saying the NX has more powah than the PS4? I mean, it should given the year but I wasn't sure Nintendo wanted to go that route.

Honestly, going out of cycle like this and after 2.5 years of the other consoles, if it's not at least as powerful as the competition after they went low power for cost, it would be pretty disappointing. Equal power should be a safe bet, but it's Nintendo, so who knows. |

Nintendo has their financial results coming out on April 27th with a Q&A on the 28th. NX will likely be mentioned if it is coming out before April 2017, even if it's in passing and told to "wait for E3", but it would be nice to have it confirmed that it's this financial year.

You don't put that graphics card in, have a cache of ESRAM and develop DirectX 12 if it wasn't designed for games. While it was promoted differently at the start, there's no way the actual design of the hardware wasn't for games.

NX will release globally in March 2017.
Well dang. At least my wallet will recover from PSVR and Christmas by then. Hopefully we'll see some stuff at E3. |

Won't touch on the NX, but here's Zelda which is coming out for it. Hopefully they make it clear which version is being shown.
Also, not expecting much from Nintendo at this E3 at all. Think 2016 is going to be the end of the Wii drought where we get very little. Think the only majorish games coming for the Wii U are Paper Mario and #FE. |

The Legend of Zelda will be the only playable game Nintendo brings to E3. Complete E3 plans will be announced later on. Wii U version only too.
Fucking lol. |
