*RUMOR* Leaked NX Controller

[Judas18]

I like and despise it at the same time. I want real buttons but it kinda looks sleek and techy and I love sleek and techy.

And what did the tweet say?

It says "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!"

Well, this might be the "GamePad" of the NX whilst sometime later they'll release a "Pro Controller" (= traditional controller) so it's not totally unrealistic to expect from Nintendo making dumb decisions like this. Back on the NES-NGC days they kept gimmicks to a minimum (yes there was the NES/SNES guns but totally optional unless games that made use of it + that R.O.B. the Robot w/game) but now they're forcing it upon games.

My time with Nintendo games might be coming to an end because I'm just tired of having to own different controllers in order to play a game.

The NX is supposed to be a hybrid console, and the controller is supposed to act as a standalone handheld console, right? Or did I get it confused with some other announcement/rumor?

Anyway, unless the thing is the size as well as the shape of an American football, what with the thumbs covering half the screen and the corners missing, the thing has as much effective screen area as a GBA. I remain skeptical.

Spoiler: I knew that shape looked familiar...

Can someone explain to me what's the issue with the controllers "obstructed" screen?
Wouldn't the area that's obstructed be covered up with a bezel on a normal controller anyway?

To me it's just added visibility not subtracted.

No buttons, no triggers?!!??

WTF?!

How we are suppose to play fast paced games like CoD on this.....thing?

Only good thing is the Screen. OLED Anyone?

Here's the point I'm making visualized. How can one say the NX design (A) is obstructed compared to a standard controller + screen layout (B)?

Seems like a smart design decision to me. I don't think that alone will translate to better games but it can't hurt.

No so smart when you think about the fact that the system (in its current state) is wasting more power to render a wider screen which will be partially blocked off by your hands.
It's literally a waste of energy.

This same argument could be made against tablets and phones. They're doing alright it seems.

you're not. Nintendo hasn't been courting the wannabe columbine crowd for quite a few years.

I'm...honestly not sure how I feel about this, fake or not. I mean, based on the patent images alone I have been skeptical. Unless there's more going on with the triggers and underside of the unit, I'd think it would be hard to keep a decent hold on the thing (giggity). The lack of proper buttons also makes me uneasy. It's an interesting idea, as developers could potentially program as many or as few buttons as needed, but I've had enough of trying to get my phone touchscreen to listen to me, much less a game controller (I barely tolerate playing slow-paced GameBoy Color games on my phone touchscreen). This is certainly an interesting idea, I'm just not sure right now how practical it is for proper gaming. Time will tell I guess.

Touchscreen controls are the future.. said no one ever.
