Wouldn't "some random guy on Reddit" be the most likely individual to leak this kind of thing? It's not gonna be Cliffy B on Twitter, is it?
I'd rather it be the handheld. Somewhat a merging of a phone and traditional controller.
Who is Rösti though?

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Why would they? Them taking it down now would 100% confirm it's real.
You just want him to give more details lol

If this is real, I'm only buying this console if either Metroid Prime 4, Super Mario Galaxy 3 or Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door 2 releases.
A Zelda, Smash and/or Splatoon port won't cut it for me.
Fuck this ugly piece of shit. I already learned my lesson with Wii U.

Wow, it's real?
Well, let's start analyzing. 62 fps in a UE4 demo is pretty good. Hopefully those awful sticks can be replaced with buttons or something better. I still love the idea of scrolling wheels on top of the controller.
Again, I will LOL if it is Ubisoft again leaking things.

Eh, it's on the internet. It's done. You think Nintendo can just erase it from the internet? Oh sweet summer child.

It's more my surprise that it actually happened, if we are inclined to believe Rösti. Which I am.

Why did he post a comment that can be interpreted in several ways?
a) This is legit
b) This is legit but old and representative of the current design
c) This isn't legit.

I guess if this is real it confirms that Ubisoft is on board :3

If this thing has no physical face buttons, or something that provides the exact same level of tactile feedback/precision as physical face buttons, I'm out.
This brings literally zero advantage over anything that ever come out before it. The only thing it has going for it is the novelty of a free-form display, which will get old really quick.
Please be fake.

Yeah I saw that linked video. The sticks are still what sell this as real to me. If I was putting together a fake controller I would use the stick design Nintendo has stuck with since the Wii or use the circlepads from the 3DS - wouldn't waste my time on something that, on first glance, looks closest to a fightpad or NGP stick.

That would be ridiculous of Nintendo to put this out and require you to buy grips. Because without grips this controller would be a cramping nightmare placing your hands on the lower parts of the oval.

How well did N64 work? So it was so good it carried over to their next console right? NOPE.
Gamecube though carried over to Wii for use on games.

How about you take a step back from shouting "WII U 2!!!" and consider that this might very well be their next handheld.
Yeah. I buy nintendo stuff to play zelda games (and also mario/smash). My thoughts are that just looking at it, it doesn't look like it'll work for mario/zelda/smash - but that's because all I have is one picture. The picture makes it look like it'll suck for my 3 favorite nintendo franchises.
What you say is true, though - nintendo wouldn't release a system that makes it hard to play their core franchises, I don't think. Hopefully the reveal will make it clear that it's all good.

I wonder, has there been any talks about how capable the console will be?

Plot twist, rosti was referring to the camera exposure of the photograph.
holy FUCK its real

It actually does. It gives devs or consumers the ability to move the buttons wherever they wish, which gives freedom when it comes to hand placement/etc. It also opens up the system for loads of mobile games, which is what we knew Nintendo wanted to do.

So, with this being possibly real ... i'd guess it's time for a certain dev to grab his things from his desk, as someone is about to get fired.
... Getting a flight to the peruvian mountains might be a good plan, too, as there's some hellish Ninja-Lawyer storm brewing up.
Also ... stop the jumping to conslusions and overreactions from a single image that doesn't even show the backside of a device we don't know wether it's a controller or a handheld!

Yeah, that would be streisand-territory

Man, please don't let this be real. LMAO.

If it is the portable console though, having long grips like that would make it very impractical.

So it's real. Holy fuck, it's hideous. But, also likely a prototype version so I'm not worried.
The Dualshock 4 prototype was similarly ugly.

Ok so it is probably real? I'm actually liking the look of it, also judging by the patent it looks tike the controller might have attachable grips for standard console play. Touchscreen buttons is my biggest concern though, I can see that being a huge problem for me unless somehow they work well with this controller.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The meltdowns going on are delicious. Haven't really been around enough to know how reliable Rosti is, but if you're all taking his word for it... Still, Since the device itself looks fairly rough, I don't doubt it'll still be heavily refined before launch, the Wii U pad itself got some notable changes in the sticks and ergonomics after the e3 reveal and the PS$ controller started out looking sorta crappy.
Still, a Wii U Gamepad 2.0 with a higher res, much smaller form factor, free-form screen, scrollder buttons and haptic buttons (if they work properly, Nintendo doesn't half-ass these things)? I'm down for that. Gimmie a more Vita-esque form factor and it'll be much better. I'd prefer attachable overlays to virtual buttons, but oh well.

Honestly I liked the patent design from the get-go. I thought it was sleek as hell. If this is the console controller, I don't know why they dropped the grips. If it's a handheld and has lumpy shit in the back, that's okay too. Or it's just a prototype. 
Haptic buttons vs. physical I'm not going to worry about until people play the device and give impressions. But when it comes to control practicality, I have to say I really do trust Nintendo on that. They wouldn't just do away with physical buttons for shits and giggles. How a game plays is super important to them.
