Yup, said this earlier in the thread. Of course it was ignored.
But yeah, to re-reiterate, the patent image from the OP is JUST for demonstrating applications of free-form displays in videogame controllers. It is NOT a patent for an entire controller design. Nintendo also have controller patents that look completely different than this for demonstrating other potential controller features, such as the scroll wheel triggers, and they look completely different.
It's real.Pre-order cancelled.
Seriously, I REALLY hope this thing is fake. It has to be. Please.

Prove me wrong/right.
So what the fuck is this pic then?
No one thats talking to the press has a devkit
Exactly. This ain't changing anything. If anything, it's doing what smartphones have been doing for a while.How is this unique?
Touchscreens, haptic inputs
Its all been done. They are just throwing shit at the wall. At least Wii was the first success of its kind in motion control.... And cmon... Lets be honest... That was sold on the back of wii sports
I honestly can't believe GAF is falling for this...
I'm just a mere spectator like the rest of y'all.Now I have to wonder if you're saying that as an onlooker or not, lol.
That's not Freeza.
There are buttons right there on the leaked image though.
I believe this is real, seems too perfect. No doubt they will support traditional controllers and hopefully be backwards compatible with Wii/WiiU controllers for other games.It really, really isn't. When have they ever made a console/device without a d-pad for example?
I would bet on this being a fake created by someone with the mindset "lol nintendo so crazy, always the strange controllers!". In fact Nintendo's controller's have always made a lot of sense. The Wiimote got a lot of hate early on but when they first showed it, my reaction was "of course. that makes sense.". This controller would need a lot of explaining before it could start to make sense.

I hope this is fake. After the Wii and Wiiu I just want a Super Nintendo 2. No gimmicks just a regular controller with Mario and company in as close to ps4 power as 300$ can do.
Never! >:3Cell was cooler.

VR is more progressive than this.
There are buttons right there on the image, thoughHope it's fake, looks uncomfortable and HAS NO FUCKING BUTTONS!!! Nintendo wouldn't be that stupid. Would they?

considering the reaction over the last 5 or so years by core/enthusiast gamers to mobile/touch screen games, this shouldn't be a surprise. If this thing is real, what it makes perfectly clear is that Nintendo is going the unconventional route again, which has been boom or bust for them (boom with the wii, bust with the Wii U) but hasn't exactly garnered a ton of support or loyalty with hardcore gamers in either case.

Not sure if posted but I just found this.
I love this thread.
90% of it is hyperbole "omg I'm not buying, it better be fake"... Wait until you've tried it.
At least they are trying something new if it's real and I'll welcome it along side my Dualshock and Xbox controller.
Its why WiiU was nothing special
They made a worse version of something that already was massively available in a better format
They cashed in all the innovation chips for hardware and are getting leapfrogged by VR
They are too far behind to change the landscape with this shit

There are buttons right there on the image, though
That's well after the controller reveal
Which even just looks like a more comfortable piece of tech.Two words
steam controller
They're haptic buttons. When you press them, you'll feel a click.They look like they are on the screen, not actual buttons to me.
