Holding that "leak" version of the controller looks like it would be pretty hard without the grips shown in the patent document.

Really, when you think about it. When's the last time Nintendo made a controller that didn't have some means of gripping it? The Wii U Gamepad's grip is on the back, but works because there's plenty of room to grip it. The "regular controllers since the N64 all have a grip on them (or should I say VB). Even the Wii remotes are great for individual gripping. The patent for the supposed NX controller even has grips. Where exactly is it that you grip on this prototype? Have other "leaked" prototypes from previous system had missing grips?

The "base" of this prototype is so simplistic that I could imagine it being made with a 3D-printer and apply a decal to it. Now, what about those analog sticks? Is it just me, or do those really not look like they'd work with so little area to tilt them (if the tilt-able area is hidden underneath the button-like cap)? Now how about what's supposedly the bottom of the controller. I believe that's a camera, which might work as Nintendo's DSi had one on the hinge between the two screens. But what is that other black rectangular part? It almost looks like what's you'd find on the tip of a Wii remote or the top of the Gamepad next to the audio port, used for IR signals. If that is what it is, then why is it on the bottom?

Speakers and microphone hole on the bottom. Look very similar to the Wii U Gamepad's versions. However, having seen a teardown of the Gamepad and looking at the internals, the speakers on it are decently big and round, which makes me believe if this supposed "prototype" is similar in nature, then it can't possibly fit in that area, even if it was right up against the edge.

I believe the black circle isn't the camera, but rather the HOME Button, and the black rectangle is the camera.

Every one of Nintendo's devices that has a camera has had it the circular fashion you see there, black of course. And I wouldn't think it is the Home button because they are usually pretty consistent with having such a button the same color as its surrounding area with an off-color home icon on top of it.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 is planned to be Nintendo’s impressive visual launch title. The goal I’ve been told, was when the team at Next Level and EAD Tokyo 2 saw the American commercial for Luigi’s Mansion 2 (aka Dark Moon) their goal was to create something that visually stunning for NX and according to sources they have come “damn close to it” with one saying “it’s going to cause arguments on the internet whether it’s a bullsh*t or not despite us developers knowing you can achieve something like on the current hardware specs”. The game uses a lot of advance lighting techniques to create this “living 3d cartoon movie” look with insanely detailed shadows and transparencies. It also shows off the haptic analog sticks, which will resist when trying to capture ghosts. An AR multiplayer mode is also planned to be in the final version of the game.

O.o haptics analog stich which will resist? ?! COOOL

If true, I'm not buying the idea of its design.

A number of issues, touch screen face buttons, holding it seems like you'll end up with cramps in your hands and the fact your hand will end up covering some aspects of the screen.

Could be a prototype perhaps, early incomplete model.
 
It took me a long time to buy a Wii as I really disliked the controller,
I never bought a WiiU as I really disliked the controller,
I will not buy a NX if the controller will look like this ...

I really hope Nintendo kicks out whoever made those controllers and gets someone to make something more useful next time -.-V
I actually loved Nintendo, Super Nintendo, N64 and NGC and all of them had for their time and for the games to play really good or at least decent controllers but now ...

No wonder hardly anyone would use a Wii controller or WiiU one on a PC even if they could most people prefer XBOX or Playstation Controller for a reason.
