I know I'm way off but it reminds me of the rocks from Dragon Quest XI footage. Even if this is legit, I don't think there would be any reason why some random developer that I'm assuming to be from the west to have access to a build of one of the biggest Japanese IPs.

Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about gaming controllers (I'm an expert), but buttons and triggers are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in mobile gaming where you can become successful by having touchscreen controls only. If you release a dedicated gaming device without physical buttons, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the gaming audience, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase any NX system, nor will they purchase any of Nintendo's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Nintendo has alienated an entire market with this move.

Nintendo, publicly apologize and cancel the NX or you can kiss your business goodbye.
 
So basically it's a smartphone style controller?

Whelp, guess Nintendo learned nothing from the Wii U fisaco, they really don't seem to even care/want the hardcore gaming audience that they used to have and just seem to want casuals only, that worked out well for a flash in the pan moment with the Wii but it went away after people bored of it.

The Wii U's controller came off as a gimmick and with little/no third party support many gamers were hoping Nintendo was finally going to come back into the fold and give them a console that'd be able to compete vs the xbone and ps4.

Really hope this isn't real.
 
Somebody mentioned it looked weird, and I noticed it a bit in Photoshop so I did something myself:

We're looking at this top-down at kind of an angle.

The analog sticks look completely photo-shopped in and skewed in.

Why does the right analog stick look so weird with the perspective we're getting?
 
My fingers would cover a good portion of the sides and bottom. What's the point of the screen being there?

I'm going with fake purely because I don't see how this could be a good idea.

10/10

actual controller 3/10
 
Horrible if true. What a compete waste of resources having to render in areas that are going to be completely covered by people's hands. And no face buttons?

so i got some exclusive information:
1+5 show arrows on the pic (the true purpose will be revealed during this month)
2 is a clickable trigger like the ones found on gc (nintendo reinvents triggers)
4+6 show morphed buttons (buttons can disappear, if not needed)
7 is a microphone and a camera(for the casuals)

/obvious troll from reddit gets an answer like that.
this was also found in one of the nintendo direct folders from march.
i cant tell you the source though.

My first thought.

A display that's designed to always be partly obscured?

That's just wasteful and weird.

Nah, the "wasted screen space" doesn't disqualify this as a fake. Here's why:

That screen space on the edges is there for dynamic buttons, QTE prompts, sliders, menu shortcuts, etc.

So yeah, there's no point in having the screen there if your thumb is simply going to cover part of your view, but that's not what's going on here. They'd be able to change the appearance, shape, and size of those buttons on the display, depending on the game

What's more interesting to me is the shape. If true, I wonder if a VR headset is in the works. An oval-shaped VR screen (for the sake of expanded FoV on the sides) and an oval-shaped handheld. Both play the same games but one is in VR.

Can't claim shit to be true without any mod knocking on your PM inbox for verification.

Because the image has been flipped here is the original perspective.

Indeed. What is the point of having the screen when your hands are going to be covering it while you hold it like a controller? This would be the the most laughable design ever. All it does is show how the Wii U gamepad made sense because the controls were on the outside. If this is anywhere near being real than lawd have mercy.

Joke post? If real, you better give some info to a mod because I think randomly posting your own rumors without proof is bannable.
 
LOL that is not ET. And yes I see why you think it is ET...but it's not ET. It's kinda like you look into the clouds and see stuff then can't unsee it. That is not ET bruh.

See my post above. The point of that screenspace on the side would be to have buttons or HUD items that you can touch with your fingers. "But why use screenspace?" Because with a screen they can change the shape, orientiation, color, size, etc of the buttons. It really isn't far-fetched.

Even if you're completely right, touchscreen virtual buttons are the worst. Ugh.

That world is not a world where Nintendo is a 3rd party. As a 3rd party, they can't afford to take risks. As a 3rd party, their endgame is Sega's -- a hollowed out shell of a company that churns out minimum effort versions of its most popular IPs to keep the bottom line in the black, while letting its most talented developers leave, and its beloved IPs languish.

Bullshit. Nintendo literally just put out Splatoon, a new online third person shooter about squids and covering arenas with ink, and even on their failure console it sold incredibly well. Why would that change when they have an exponentially larger install base but still get to slap the Nintendo brand on all of their games?
