I just did the same thing while playing Street Fighter V online.
Than again when I came to this thread.

I want to be able to play Nintendo's fantastic games without investing in ridiculous gimmick controllers, on lobsided hardware, with an online infrastructure that is basically going to be playing catch up to the rest of the industry.
I have 6 different controllers sitting in my drawer of all shapes sizes and functions in my drawer. Now we might potentially have this oval gamepad 2.0 shit to add the storm of controller fuckery. Enough.

Not taking it. R&D maybe, but Ninty probably wouldn't make a controller where its default usage means some part of the screen always being covered. That's just not good use of screen space.

Something something leaked photo was uploaded by an unknown game dev with no results from online search, later gamedev claims he has doubts its the actual controller as the logo was taped off, something something picture quality yadda yadda
I'm so tired.

So many games have so much UI that it does seem a difficult task to shrink to that kind of screen.

Guy claimed to be a game dev and that it's from a dev kit in another office in his building, so he didn't like have to sneak in there or anything. So... he just takes one blurry pic? Doesn't grab ten pics from different angles? He's a dev, he knows what people want to know about this thing (what the buttons do etc). Instead he gives us something that'd be super easy to fake (one somewhat fuzzy pic from one angle).
If it's real he did a good job making it look like it's not.

No one knew how to make an analog stick controller. N64 was treading new waters (yes, there were some clunky analog based controllers here and there before the N64). It wasn't until many iterations later that the modern gamepad took shape.
Would people want this over a vita with a bigger screen that stops at the buttons/sticks?
I don't see the point of having the screen extend to where your hand covers.
Well that's what they have in the Wii U gamepad. A smaller Wii U gamepad with cool haptic stuff going on (not replacing physical buttons though) would be cool.
my game on NX
that'd be cool
I want it.
Still want buttons tho.

That cable.
Good find! That also takes an insane amount of Nintendo Knowledge on stand by to remember that connector.
So you only want Mario.
Gaze into the controller of the future!
Really really big man!

well, it looks like the patent... at this point I'm just going to wait until they show it officially. All these rumors and speculations are too much to keep up with
also this thread needs a "real or fake?" poll with it
people still begging Nintendo to go third-party
this shit will never end

They missed the handles. What a bad fake.

On further review, I think it's fake, the controller screen cuts out at weird angles.
Like what is ET doing there either?
Even the poster claims that they think it's fake which doesn't make sense unless he went into a "top secret office". Yeah...

?
Adding too this, there are cuts and weird fades all over the top screen.

Seriously though, I agree. They need to just go third party. They've sucked at hardware since...well...the SNES is the only flawless console they have ever come out with.
I cant believe people are still saying they "need" to go third party. If you actually look at long term financials Nintendo is doing absolutely fine.
What competition does Nintendo offer anyone? MS and Sony couldn't care less that Nintendo exists.

That actually look pretty coolmy game on NX
that'd be cool
LB and RB would be where they always are on a controller. The back. The dpad can easily be placed on the left, right, top and bottom of the left analog, and the face buttons can be mapped the the paddles on the back of the device.

If this is real we all should call it "The nipples controller"
Please, no.
The Wii U's biggest hurdle, beyond graphics, for getting third parties was having too many controller options that weren't guarantees. Nobody wants to develop a game for that many controllers, not even Nintendo managed to do it.
One controller option is the correct choice for launch.
Those aren't handles.
You remove them and stick um in your pockets.

Is it really possible to build a display like that, oval and with bored holes?

Fair points with the online infrastructure and the controllers, but that is what Nintendo does. If you want to play their games you usually get caught up in all of their controller madness, and it also gives the developers the chance to display their creative freedom (but this isn't actually executed that well in reality). In theory Nintendo's innovations seems awesome, but usually their gimmicks just feel like gimmicks. But that's Nintendo, and I don't think it's enough of a reason to hope the fail out the hardware business IMO.
They clowned Sony and MS last generation, and held up better in the portable business than Sony did. So....
Nintendo still makes money from hardware, and that helps them fund their software. Third party Nintendo would play it safer than ever.

Touchscreen buttons, haptic or otherwise are so terrible.
There appears to be two shoulder buttons, looks like they could be scroll wheels too. Either that, or they stick out hella far for no reason.

The style of a controller is largely arbitrary with regards to how good the games that utilize it are. In fact, seeing the creativity behind how game designers work with unorthodox controllers is part of the fun.
But with that said, this would be truly limited because of the lack of buttons. If this mockup is true, that says to me they aren't interested in mainstream 3rd party software. They wouldn't want the same typical swarm of games going to PC/PS4/Xbone (some odd ports like Mass Effect 3 Wii U will happen, of course). Although with touchpad there is some potential to serve as a habitat for PC-centric genres like RTS and MOBA. You could play a game like FTL off a touch device no problem.

Could you imagine a world where all of Nintendo's resources are funneled into making the best games possible? I can. It's my favorite dream.
Nintendo investing in the mobile space may be only the beginning...

Here we have again the posers wishing N to go 3rd paty lol.. yall fake as hell
Nintendo's resources exist in big part because of their hardware, lol. I guess you'd get a crapton of Mario on PS4, and mobile Pokémon.

My hand hurts looking at this. Wouldn't your fingers be covering crucial parts of the screen? I call BS.

Im not gonna lie , that looks really cool, I hope its more comfortable to hold than the vita tho.

I suppose technically the shape of the screen, housing, and sticks would make this a viable item to put in one's pocket, take out without getting caught on something, and I dunno, maybe lop off just enough of the screen to sacrifice in favor of performance?
I'm at a loss honestly if this thing is real. I really didn't expect anything -exactly- like that patent.
This is like finding out there was webcam footage of the "Green Is Noises" guy, and discovering there were actual green lines flying at that girl's head while the dude jerked off
