It's not when you have a scroll bar/quick access and a touch screen. (Getting rid of quick access zone was one of major 3DS blunders in terms of UI.)

It's trash. It was even worse before they limited it to 15 items, it just went on endlessly. Terrible. I hope Nintendo stays well clear of a design like that.
Scolling buttons wouldn't make it any better either. A nice, simple and organised UI would be best. I don't actually mind the WiiU one to be honest.

What matters (to me) is that the controller's screen will primarily be used for user interface mechanics. There are two parts to the post - field of view and input, and he's right - if the thing is 16:9 then it'd be awful - but we don't know that. It could be 21:9 or 24:9, but we have no way to tell that right now. Just inference.
What we can infer with confidence though, is that this thing, being a home console, would be better utilized as the secondary interface.
That can be implied apart from the resolution of the thing.
Much of the complaining about the controller I've seen is how cramped the field of view is, when we've never actually see a game run on it. I have very little reason to believe that we'll be looking at that smaller screen the entire time when the bulk of the action is going to be on the TV.

Ehh... It's not terrible. I kinda preferred the PS3 where everything stayed put. Not a bit fan of the most recent used app jumping to the front of the line. While it is convenient, it makes my want for organization go crazy. That being said, the 3ds or DSi menus were not great either.

Do we have any idea on the potential cost of those Sharp screens? I think it's important that they hit a decent price range and one of my concerns is if this is the controller it will cause the cost of the NX to be higher than they would like.

I cannot wait for when this is revealed as real and Nintendo fans are scrambling to defend button-less controls, the same ones most have bashed for years.
It will be delicious.

You "infer" this based on no fact. That's a personal opinion. Which is fine. But has nothing to do with the post you quoted initially.

More than a Wii U tab , i'd wager, which will probably be eating into the console budget.
I think we know what that means.
Think about the way of rendering VR games. The middle part you look at (16:9) is being rendered in full resolution. The parts you don't look at, left and right, are rendered more blurry or not at full resolution.

Why wait? It looks like you could be making fun of that hypothetical strawman now!
FWIW
A new user on Reddit is claiming to be leaking a scan of the Nintendo Internal Developer handbook for the NX
The black areas are watermarks, allegedly.

No. It's not. I love my PS4 but the menu is the absolute worst thing about it. Give me the 3DS/Wii U system of like 15 choices on the screen at once.
thefro said:
"Pocket Console?"
"Button Images?"
Uh oh.
For some reason, I'm totally expecting Nintendo to go back to DSi-style linear menu as the main menu mode (unlike on 3DS, where it's present but optional and kind of forgotten).
We've evolved past linear menus these days.
I swear Nintendo, if you don't have folders available on day 1...
I feel like there's already some mental gymnastics being performed the argue the appeal of this thing when it's a categorically bad idea, honestly.
LMAO that giant black rectangle.
There are many, many Nintendo fans in this very thread stating how much they would hate for Nintendo to go this route. Stop.

It has at least 50% to do with the post I quoted, yo. Why you trying to pick a fight?

I guess it's fine for me since I only have like 8 games for my PS4 right now. I could see it becoming terrible once you start getting like 20+.
Different person? Oh boy.

What kind of shit TOC formatting is that?! No way it is an official document.
I've read an article which described a theory that no console manufacturer enables folders on consoles until there will be enough games to store at them in general, because using folders with small amount of games makes the system's library look barren
Is this implication not that he actually cut out the portions of the page with watermarks over them?
I'm not a fan of touch controls but that's less to do with button presses and mostly to do with virtual analogue sticks which never work well.
If this has two analogue sticks, I'm okay with that.

The guy claims the document is 48 pages yet that table of contents looks like it has maybe 30.

It seems a little suspicious that people are now leaking all this stuff.
I'm a Nintendo fan and I think this could be a cool successful system if implemented correctly. Blew your mind eh?

From my impression a 16:9 box inside the joysticks would probably be around the same size as a regular 3DS screen. Which is tiny.
lmao

I was about to point out the exact same thing.
It's like these guys are not even trying 😂
People claiming that a device they haven't tried out will be garbage are just as ridiculous as those claiming said device will work perfectly before trying it.
And I find that more obnoxious than delicious...
Someone on that Reddit thread posted the NES handbook for reference. Can someone open that? I'm on mobile.
That would be a huge step back for offscreen play. Heck, even for a handheld device.
Hope that's not the case.
I've asked a few times and got no answer. No one seems to really care about the reality of all this.
They just keep throwing out fantasy features like it doesn't cost anything. All of which is super pricey. Cutting edge screens with cutting edge haptic feedback and or tactus like buttons can't possibly be cheap, even at scale. It just seems way too expensive. The Wii U Gamepad alone cost upwards of nearly 1/3 to 1/2 of the Wii U price point and people are coming up with all sorts of stuff for this NX controller that could be significantly more advanced than that.
I can't imagine what something like this would cost. Seems way too expensive. Unless it's also a fully functioning handheld on its own then the pricing is going to be high or the console itself is going to be very limited power wise again, which I don't have a big problem with but possibly not the smartest move on their part.

Scroll wheels could work in the same way as pressure sensitive triggers..especially if they are motorised (as the patent suggested). Instead of depressing/releasing a trigger, how far you turn the wheel determines how fast your car would go...let it go and the motor rotates it back to zero. In fact you could control your speed while going forward or reversing just depending on which direction you turned the wheel.
If you wanted you could use the other scroll wheel as the car steering wheel (as once again, if it's motorised it should be able to move/return to a central position.. just like a real steering wheel would). You could have full control over a car without even touching an analogue stick or trigger.

I got bored and tried to make renders of the rumored leaked NX controller based on the pictures for people that want to use it.
One whole controller with a blank background
and one with a background and a clear screen.
UNLEASH YOUR IMAGINATION NEOGAF.

Maybe the kind that allows the exact document to be identified if it was to be leaked
.Not that I believe it to be real...
