This is what I am saying.. like why are those things there they look like they cant fuckin move.
Maybe its more of a unit to test the hybridness but still.

Not saying this image is real or fake...but yeah. This. If you wanted to manufacture it, the screen (if non-functional!) would probably be the easiest part. If I remember my manufacturing class properly, acrylic is really easy to work with if you have access to a laser cutter. It's actually awesome because of how nice acrylic looks. It was my favorite material because it makes everything look fancier for not much money. To be honest, back in those days, I would have had access to everything necessary to model this. However, I definitely wouldn't have put in the time to do so, so if someone actually did that, props to them.
To reiterate, though, I'm not saying that it's fake. It's just that, if you were to ask me to rank the individual parts in terms of "how easy would it be to model this?," the screen would be my #1. Quick outline in Adobe Illustrator + spend a couple dollars on acrylic + laser cutter.

Honestly the arguments that it's fake feel just as much of a stretch this time.

It's the perspective of the in-game camera. The image appears to have been panned on the screen itself as if it was 2D, rather than moving a camera in a 3D environment. When you change your position relative to objects in a 3D space, you get a slightly different perspective on them.

Find a piece of plastic that you think you can do this with and I will buy it for you. No problem at all.
These are sliding pads:
There is a zone of clearance around them so they can slide around.
The sticks in this rumored "leaked" controller are not sliding sticks. They are nubs on top of domes, implying that they are sticks. Or, they are some sort of strangely designed sliding nubs on top of hemi-spheres. Can you imagine the overly complex engineering that would require, when Nintendo already has designs for sliding nubs? And why, when they already have designs for sticks?
Half the reason for nubs is space conservation in a mobile design. What is the point of putting nubs on top of hemi-spheres?
Ergo, simplest explanation.
One of the things I thought about today is that this can be the perfect controller for those people with disabilities that don't allow them to play like we do. Just customise the button setup as you're confortable with and you're done. It came up to my mind by seeing again what Legend of Grimrock's devs did for a player who needed a special option in the game.
These leaks are based off the patents we got 3 months ago, which should be plenty of time to 3d print something. Someone already brought up that it could be the same mockup for both the white and black version, with the new one being the white one painted over, which would explain why the microphone hole has suddenly gone amiss: it filled up with paint.

Wouldn't it be funny if the Wii U version is consider superior just because of the Gamepad?
Then why would they leak the super fake looking one first? That doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, the lighting really looks like some person's house. The blinds look more like a house or small office.then a big cube farm. The person could have easily cropped out the tree in the background and the MacBook to hide where they are, but seemingly they don't care.
The desk is really beat up and seems like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time and the person doesn't care about sticking drinks on it. I have a desk at work from the 1960s and it's in way better shape.
Other folks have already made fun of the shitty "CONFIDENTIAL" label that was made with a label printer
The other thing that's already been pointed out is how smudged up the controller is on the left-side, while the buttons should be on the right.

For the "OH SHIT IT'S REAL!" reaction that has been prevalent throughout this thread.

63 pages, holy shit. Nintendo might not be selling consoles bit it surely spurs some debating around here always!
I think I'm in team fake because of how close this design is to the patent file. Isn't it always the case for design depictions in patent documents to be purposely generic and bland to allow to keep the real design under wraps?
I think they made an elliptic screen just to show the concept better but I HOPE that the final design will be much more ergonomic and comfortable with handles and so on.

Just to play devil's advocate-- I could 3D model that thing in about an hour from scratch, and it would take maybe another 6 or 7 hours to print on the 3D printer we have in my office.
The hard part is the screen. It would have to be CNC milled out of some kind of glossy plastic and fit inside the 3D print. Or someone could Photoshop the screen on top of they had reasonable skills.
Doesn't mean it's fake, but the basic shape is simple enough that it could easily be modeled and printed.

Because that's how they made that first, then read people's comments and adjusted it to what it is now? They might also have had to adjust the color for the fake screen, since the white could've shined through.

People are just hoping against hope that it's fake. The number of mental hoops people are jumping through is insane. I'm certain it's real, but whether or not it's final retail form or not is the only real debate, as far as I'm concerned. People saying it's 3D printed with perfectly cut plexiglass - what exactly would the final goal of a fake this elaborate be? You think someone would go through THAT much effort for the lulz? The extremely high quality manufacturing in 2 different colors and locations should say it all, really.
Should be pretty interesting, it definitely has my attention.

Looks like the "screen' was made with this:
Look how it looks different in color from the Wii U screen:
My iPhone screen looks different than the Wii U screen though.

Late response, but I did acknowledge those levels and the Captain Toad stages in the rest of my post; I also pointed out that those levels weren't part of the main campaign (ergo you're not required to complete them in order to progress through the main worlds).
They adjusted it that fast? At this quality? lol stop.

And in the hypothetical situation that this is a fake, it's not unreasonable to assume that the person with access to a high end 3D printer might also have access to a CNC glass cutting machine. It would be extremely easy to pop in a quality piece of touchscreen glass and program it to cut out a perfect oval with two circles in it.
Your iPhone screen isn't made by Sharp.

Feels like the conclusion to some murder visual novel.
And your iPhone also cost a shit ton more than a Wii U gamepad. Nintendo is cheap.
Man for as cool as this could be I can not play games with out my buttons ..
I need my r and l 1s I need my r and l 2s ..
..
So does it look real yes will it be kool to look at yeah I'm sure .. will I buy it if any where near 40% if games gonna make me use the controller without physical buttons nope no way ..
But ey best of luck to Nin having another Gen like the wiiU will put them in a Very bad situation

The rumor specifically addresses this. The ball doesn't move as it would in a traditional analog stick, only the top nub. The previous rumor stated that the sticks themselves are haptic in some way so if we were to assume that they need space for the actuators which would be inside of the ball portion and so rumor 2 does partially corroborate this information.

Look how it looks different in color from the Wii U screen:
LOL, it looks different because it's reflecting a black monitor over most of it's surface, if you notice the far left of the screen is almost the exact same colour as the WiiU screen which is reflecting a wall or ceiling (and is at a completely different angle) There's also a persons silhouette backlit by soft lighting on the right side, which is being reflected in the monitor next to it! the screen looks like glass, or very high quality plastic.
Honestly, I don't know about some peoples ability to discern in this thread.
SteWii was claimed earlier
Haha even better!
It's about how close the layers and how few of them are, and what type of panel it uses.

May I point you to the patents for the SNES PlayStation. When that thing finally showed up, and the patents were discovered, they were exactly the same.

Fake or not all I know is no buttons no buy.
To which my reply is the same as the first time:
"There's a possibility Nintendo has designed some sort of elaborate, convex, sliding nub that sits on top of a hemi-spherical dome for seemingly no reason when they already have perfectly usable designs for analog sticks and sliding pads, but is that the simplest explanation?"
and
"The sticks... are... some sort of strangely designed sliding nubs on top of hemi-spheres. Can you imagine the overly complex engineering that would require, when Nintendo already has designs for sliding nubs? And why, when they already have designs for sticks?
Half the reason for nubs is space conservation in a mobile design. What is the point of putting nubs on top of hemi-spheres?"
My point is that, as someone else was arguing, the simplest explanation is usually the best. And in this case, I argue that the simplest explanation is that it's a fake.
The entire ball is required for haptics? Alright, at least it's a plausible argument, although the Steam controller is able to have haptics underneath a flat touch pad. This must be some crazy impressive stick haptics. Although you're not going to feel any touch sensitive haptics given the thick nub. So it could only be rumble and a bit of tension, something I can't see needing a tiny sliding nub on top of a sphere instead of just a regular nub or a regular stick.
I guess I'll remain skeptical for now.
