I’m not against having a touch-screen element in console games, but I guess I believe that good games, powerful hardware, and lots and lots of content trump any gimmicky controllers and devices Nintendo can come up with. Give us Zelda. Give us Mario (in 3D worlds or Galaxies) and Metroid and new stuff, and third party support. Give us speed and power.

Sums up my thoughts


Fake

What the crap is that? Looks like something on a dissection table.

if you think this is real.

I could design a better "real" nx leak with MS Paint.

I would hope so

ETA-multiple sites are reporting this now. Seems like no one knows for sure if it's fake

Well give them my contact. I can assure them it's fake. That looks like someone vomited on an egg.

Nintendo is pretty controlling on their overall aesthetic. There's no way this is it.

What I think it's getting at is that entire controller is a screen. Looks like a mountain background for some game.

Well the reason no one has said it's definitely fake is because it matches up with a patent that Nintendo themselves filed last year.

I can clearly see a B button under the right analog stick. IT kind of looks like there is the outline of another button above that.

Maybe the screen somehow plays over or around them?

If this is really what they are going for, why don't they just bow out of the console business and stick to handhelds? It's clearly what they care about the most.

imo, even more reason to think it is fake. The patent image is more likely just a proof of concept type deal and I seriously doubt the final version would look near as close to that as this 'leak' does. Someone just threw some shite together in photoshop based on that patent.

Why does Nintendo get their shite leaked all the time? Who is in charge of their internal affairs? Whoever it is, they should be fired.

What?

If anything Nintendo is the only player in the game that can still keep a secret.

And someone made a really damn good Majoras Mask HD teaser that everyone thought was legit a few years ago. Just because one person says it looks 'consistent' doesn't automatically mean someone with professional photo editing skills or digital drawing skills didn't make a very good fake.

Nintendo is crazy, but not crazy enough to make something like that.

After seeing Nintendo controllers throughout the years, I wouldn't be surprised if this were real.

The placement of the A and B button is suspect, that and I would be more inclined to think it were real had we never seen the patent diagram.


But I wouldn't put this above possibly being some development kit peripheral.

This.

Plus this doesn't jive with the rumors of the handheld/console hybrid. At least not at first glance.
