You are vastly overstating the amount of distortion that would occur, and that would be noticeable to the naked eye when making a pan or tilt-pan of a static and flat 2d image.

This is the only reason why I think it's fake. Why would someone working at Nintendo report on a thread about a leaked picture of their own product that they themselves are so tight lipped about. Not to mention a thread full of knee jerk negative reactions. Either way this thread was a great ride

Then what is the hdmi connector for?
Maybe the controllers are supposed to be the new portable device

The other points are solid, though I'm not making out #5, and for #3, well both Trev's goods and the European Direct have leaked early, as well as TMS#FE's English title and some info. That's all recent and we can assume, under NDA.
But for #4, ignore that guy, his claims are banned on GAF for being incredibly unreliable. He also had a hissyfit when he was called out a while ago.

But we know it's not the new handheld.
Yeah same here.
No, we know they're controllers from the person who leaked them.
I'm going to put myself on #TeamFake
Too many questions about this and the pictures released thus far.
The Swedish/Finnish keyboard would be a dead giveaway that anyone leaking it and trying to stay hidden would want to not have. It's a clear oversight, and if it were real, you just narrowed down the possibilities of where and who you are. No one wants to be found out, even if they recently left, because it'd mean bad things in the future for you.
Then you have the NOA Treehouse guy's tweet. Like...what the hell was that about? That just seemed way too obvious and a bit obtuse for him to do that if it were true.
Lots of other stuff, too.

Really?. Have them play Metroid Fusion or Zero Mission and get back to me bruh, haha. I doubt that they're playing GBA games that require precision and such. Trying to play Zero Mission was a nightmare on my Iphone. I too have a bunch of friends that play Gameboy games on a phone but they stick to games like Pokemon because it's much simpler when it comes to movement.
I keep seeing you post here and I keep thinking, "I didn't know Expendable liked video games."
Didn't know that about #4. Thanks!

And what if you tripped over a wire while wearing it lol
I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

What if this is one big rabbit hole, manufactured by Nintendo themselves?
Absolutely. How many Swedish/Finnish development partners does Nintendo have? Two? One? None? The controller even says "UNIT 2" on it. Then there are the coffee stains.
They'd have the person in less than a day.

tbh another thing that gives me pause with this one is that the screen isn't on. Why wouldn't you just turn it on for the photo?

This is completely false. It only shows the top 50% of the image, that's a gigantic shift in perspective. I photoshopped tons of images in my life, including patching images with different shots from a same movie with very small camera shifts, and I can guarantee you that the smallest shift totally changes the perspective, you shouldn't be able to superpose them perfectly like you can here. The image on the device is NOT just zoomed in (which would be very weird already), it just doesn't make sense at all coming from a device that itself generates images.

This thread was much better when people were trying to figure out which studio "leaked" this based off of a Swedish keyboard and a reflection of a tree.

Nintendo's takeaway from the Wii U can't be, "Oh, people really like screens in their controllers". They can't be doing another ridiculous controller that drives up the price and ensures it's impossible to port games from the other two consoles. Not again.
Come on, Nintendo.
Come on, Nintendo.

I think you're right though. I've flipflopped to #TeamFake. No way that Treehouse guy would retweet if it were real. I think it was a hint.
Its not a screen in a controller, its a controller in a screen, totally different thing
Tomorrow, people will be basing it off of how many studios have Samsung monitors at their work stations.

Yep. The assorted and obviously intentional breadcrumb trails people are joining the dots and flipping out over don't sell me on it either.
Still, a very good, entertaining effort nonetheless.

The design would make sense if the portable iteration of the NX will be a

It doesn't make sense at all for the game/application to show only the cropped top of an interactive 3D world, though. How would the game camera work? It's like displaying only the top half of a film. If this was indeed a real application running, the shot in the demo would be centred.
Here, I made a photoshop to illustrate:
I don't know where the device come from, but the image on it makes no sense.
Obviously it is, to go with the perspective of the device, but it makes no sense whatsoever for the device to show the cropped top of the picture. The picture couldn't superpose if the image was generated for the device, because the 3D angle would be totally different. The perspective is completely wrong for an interactive image.
Yeah you have me convinced. #TeamFake I was actually wondering about that in the first tread but I don't know enough about this to make an argument confidently.
This sounds good on paper, but I think in practice, it would appeal to neither casuals or core gamers.
The smart phone is the logical conclusion to Nintendo's philosophy of simplifying controls. The problem is that they aren't smart phone makers. Maybe with the Wii money they could have positioned themselves to be that way, but that would obviously be a huge under taking and very risky, and not something they wanted to do. But unfortunately by not doing so, I think they have basically lost any hope of getting the casual market they so desperately want.
I don't really see why a device like this would appeal to casuals. If Nintendo is going to simply make simplified games for them, what does this device offer them that one of the numerous smart devices they probably already own doesn't? (This is why I think they need focus on mobile hard or go back to focusing on the core gamers). I suppose it offers analogue sticks, bu I'd actually argue dual analogue is one of the most confusing part of modern control schemes to casuals. That's been my experience with the people I know who aren't gamers. A dpad is intuitive. One control stick can be too. Trying to use two sticks at once really confuses some people.
The lack of physical buttons will most likely piss off the core gamers. At best is a non-ideal solution.
So like I said before, in their attempt to appeal to both, they appeal to neither.

OH, no, not me, I could use a new avatar though.
Was something like this so hard, Nintendo?
I think this misses the whole point of why they're doing touch screen in the first place. It's most likely to match the accessibility of phone games while also allowing flexibility to developers in button placement, number of buttons, etc.
If this is really what they're going for it'll be something completely different than what we've seen on gaming consoles before.
Didn't someone from Nintendo say that they were looking into VR but thought that it was still in its infancy or whatever?. I could see them using this device as something you could turn into an AR headset but not a VR headset. Maybe theirs a camera on the back of the controller that would allow for this?. I could see them maybe doing a Pokemon Go type game with the NX if they end up using the controller as a possible AR device especially if it uses that Kinect like tech we saw in that patent and then you could throw pokeballs.

But touch screens won't work because you have to look at the screen, Even with haptic feedback. If somehow they perfected haptic feedback, what is the point? Buttons would work better and a lot cheaper. This is just too weird to be real.

Here's my theory how this console is going to work.
NX console will be able to play games on the tv and streamed to the controller just like the wii u.
The NX will also act as a storage hub for virtual console games and "handheld" games. The controller is portable and can store games onto it for on the go use. Dump a few games off the console and onto your "controller" and your off.
Multiple controllers registered to the console can grab games from the console for on the go use.
NX games will not be able to be played for on the go use and must be played at home on a television or streamed to the controller.

There are alot of things that tipped me off that this was fake, but the big one is just a random ass sticker that says confidential property.
That just screams something a guy did to make the fake seem more real
Exactly... you'd be forced to look down all the time to see the configuration.

No, the whole selling point is one library on both.
