NX Controller Rumor [Up5: Original was fake, and thus this is too]

It looks real deal. But how will it work? Buttons are needed. For button mashing games it's a must. Nintendo needs to understand that people expect a decent controller and a good system from them this time.
 
So is it safe to say this thread has been effectively hijacked by tree-puns to such an extent that there will be no more actual talk about the "leak" anymore?

Looks like that Treehouse tweet is gone now. Back to the swirl of the unknown.
 
It's probably real, and because of that, I will probably not be buying a new Nintendo console in the foreseeable future.

Also that treehouse tweet indicates nothing, regardless of whether it was removed or not.

so guys, im from the future. here to give you some details on the 'nx'.
first off, the leak is real, but that's not the final product. although the final product is very similar, it is slightly larger and feels more pleasing to hold, even on its own. what you could compare it to is like a cross between holding a wiimote, and holding a phone (horizontally, of course). i'd say it's more comfortable than the wii u gamepad, but that's my opinion - some prefer the gamepad, but that really doesn't matter for reasons i'm about to get into.
now let me just say, i'm with you if you think it's not a good design for a controller how it is and how you see it right now, but as for the final design, you will change your mind... why? when you purchase the "NX", it comes with the console, core gamepad, hdmi and cables, 2 games (one of them is basically just for showing off the features of the "NX" itself), and the classic controller attachment.
now you'll probably be excited to find out that the core gamepad's design is how it is for a reason. while it is perfectly fine to use how it is, it's also designed for attachments. the attachment is comes with, the classic controller att., is exactly what you'd expect, it has those hand grips and is incredibly comfortable. in case you're worried about it being too bulky, it's not. also, the way the attachments click in is super satisfying, like more satisfying than the sound of putting in cartridges into the NES.
so there are a few other attachments, a couple of them are just for the feel, but others have special functions. There is one attachment i'm not going to mention, but i'll give you a hint: it is something that has been called expensive and gimmicky in the past. (btw, that's not to say it is in this case, nintendo pulled it off pretty well)
as for the other attachments, they're all pretty awesome. there's this other one that adds a totally new set of controls, so if you really love physical buttons and shit, that'll be for you.
speaking of buttons, the way they are set up on the core gamepad is really intuitive, i wont go into it much, but i will say that after using it, you wont care much about physical buttons. the haptic feedback really does its part. as for the shoulder buttons/scroll wheels, they feel so satisfying to use... this is a very satisfying controller in general. oh also, the circle pads have haptic feedback as well.
im too lazy to write anymore here, i'll answer just one question, and 3 yes or no questions. cheers



this sounds good!

Sounds fantastic if true

And not that reliable, I fear! And I can say that despite living in the present!
Seriously, though, I am expecting attachments. Heck, even some with buttons.

And yes, that Treehouse guy's retweet has disappeared.
 
LOL from the same reddit thread, "some info"

oh it's certainly on par. what's exceeding is the controller's capability. i guess i may as well just say that it has vr. support, there's a vr headset attachment for the core gamepad. unlike the current vr. headsets, this one is probably the smallest out there, even more so than the google cardboard. of course that's not all, there are plenty other attachments and motion controls. but yeah, it's definitely on par with the xbone.

There isn't anyone left not believing this, right?

FWIW that Reddit post I would be willing to believe as well.

I still think this thing is fake. Actual products don't usually look like their conceptual patent drawings, and one of the major things that are different (the lack of handles) doesn't make much sense, especially with how it's supposedly the console controller rather than the handheld. And someone can take multiple high quality photos of the controller and can't be bothered to flip it over or turn it around to see the shoulder buttons or anything? Not even pictures of a devkit or a short video of the controller running?

On top of that, why would their ever be a need for a "CONFIDENTIAL" sticker on the damn thing? That just seems goofy.
 
I know everyone's having a good laugh about the tree thing, but how many people in Texas or the UK are going to be using laptops with Swedish keyboard formatting?
