The "leaker" confirmed the hoax himself, check the video for details on how it was done.



Someone claims Nintendo of Europe also confirmed the photos were a fake.

P.S. -- I won't say "I told you so"

Two D-PADs is inadequate for today's gaming and it's a very odd controller, less so than the alien-y Nintendo 64.

Obviously a modern version would include dual sticks, but my point is it's actually rather comfortable to hold. It's clear the thing was made for human hands, as opposed to this fake where the design sacrifices ergonomics for the sake of looking futuristic and "cutting edge".

3d printers are the future

yes indeed

God, I hope the NX has no gimmicks. Just put out a console that keeps up with the PS4. Standard Dual stick pro controller.
No tablets, no waggle sticks, no cameras. Just an x86 machine that can have easy ports of any 3rd party ps4, xbone, or PC game, and of course the 1st party games we all love.

I don't think so because I nintend to use to do backwards compatibility so I mean there is the screen on the controller maybe not the main controller but the other one Nintendo is a gimmicky so expect this and the council will be powerful and easy to Port games on it on the latest rumors

No, that would be even worse than the Wii U GamePad/Pro Controller's layout.

The real controller is going to leak and nearly everyone, if not all, will be on #teamfake. Lol

Edit:

^ Nice... It would be even more awesome if Nintendo found or made a fake controller and did that for a splatfest.

Oh lord.. that would be the most awesome way to actually announce it!

 

[tbb043]

Yeah, I'm not believing (and haven't so far) ANYTHING about the next system unless it comes directly from Nintendo itself.

 

[Sheikah Impa]

I feel like we should know better from leaks this deep in the scene.

 

[Lazyt]

i think this fake is fake

 

[KingVamp]

I just hope no one got fired from this. Fired for entertaining just a fake.

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

....Duh.

I'm more interested in what the NX controller actually looks like. The Editor in Chief of gameinformer told everyone that his sources had claimed the NX controller has no face buttons on social media in response to the leaks.

If it isn't this design but has no face buttons what is it?

even worse than we imagined
no physical buttons will spell certain doom for nintendo so would that retarded controller design who in their fucking right mind would want those analog sticks obstructing their view

 

[lonzodavis]

That thing didnt even look like a fun controller to use anyways.

 

[KingVamp]

Funny thing is, some people were legitimately disappointed that this wasn't the controller.

Likely people who play and use smartphones a lot.
