Rosti isn't an insider I thought? He just liked to dig through patents and online fillings.
Being transparent and curved into the screen would be enough and cheaper to make.

If there is any truth the motorised stick rumour, which.. eh IDK how that would work.. but it could give you something that behaves like an NGP dpad or an analog stick depending on what was appropriate.
He has been teasing some knowledge recently but backed down on sharing anything. I trust him enough not to troll people (he had a good enough opportunity when he found the security hole that let him freely edit the E3 exhibitor site)

It's not really a gimmick. It's maximizing the screen space on a small and ergonomic form factor. There might be fewer buttons than one would like but that's hardly a gimmick.
Ah, okay.

I've got an idea. What if they use transparent dome buttons on top of the display?
So if they want to have buttons they just place the button image there, and if they don't they simply leave it out and it's still transparent.

I normally wouldn't think so, but he does seem to do weird things that I can only imagine are designed to get reactions. Recently he made a mock Nintendo Direct logo and a document containing a statement by Nintendo President Kimishima. Even though he mentions that they're not real in his post, why in the world do you make a mock statement from the president? Who does that? So people do a double take at your post?
Edit: Not saying it's real or fake; I'm just not a fan of how he does things. This latest development can mean a couple different things, and I wonder if he'll be back to clarify what he meant.
As for the actual topic at hand, I hope it's not real, but who knows how it'll turn out in the end.
Agreed.
I do like uniqueness and creativity, but there is a point where they can go too far from the norm and what we like.
If it were the handheld, and Nintendo's answer to mobile gaming, would people freak out any less?
Yes. Since I don't care about mobile/handheld games

The Wii was great for Mario and Zelda and the gamepad, while not beneficial to Mario it was also not detrimental and it's wonderful for Zelda. I'd assume there would be a classic controller just like their previous two systems for Smash and local multiplayer since even if it's cheaper than we imagine it'll still be pretty expensive
Yeah, this was my understanding as well. I can't think of anything s/he's ever actually leaked/confirmed before.
Welp, there it is. At least I don't have to worry about buying another system. Kind of relived in a way, but still disappointed. Not on board with this shit, Nintendo. Sorry.
That was just to show what people could expect from a nintendo nx announcement. It was obvious a joke, strange some people were confused by it.
Try a hex > ascii converter

It's just regular ASCII converted to hexadecimal and means "This should have NOT been exposed."

This is what I was thinking as well. Make them malleable enough to push down (like the switches in an NES controller) and it'd probably work alright as 'physical' buttons.

This is probs real holy shit.
I think in 3. If it's real, it's only a prototype.
How much does it tell if we don't even know if it's a handheld device or a controller?
Slowing shifting from denial to anger.
Being able to move buttons is not a good tradeoff versus losing the crucial physical buttons. It's in the truest sense of the word, a gimmick.
The full-screen display serves no real function, it's done only because it's possible. It's showy and unique without regard to it's actual usefulness.
And if Nintendo thinks it can chase the mobile crowd with a dedicated handheld and 40$ games, they are even more clueless than anyone could have imagined.
It's hex for ".desopxe neeb TON evah dluohs sihT"
In the future, we'd like people to not make their posts like this though. It's obnoxious and not adding anything that wouldn't be gained by using normal writing.

So who's Rösti other than someone who makes a few good posts here? Any proven track records with inside info? Serious question.
Rosti is in the know when it comes to this kind of thing. At least somewhat.
People have translated it, and makes it seem like it's real.

Oof. Not what I would want at all.
I'm still assuming this is the handheld, and, if you want (err, if the devs want), you can also use it as the nx console controller (like how you could use the 3DS as a controller for smash U if you wanted).
Well, they'll want Wii U BC for a start if home console or will break 3DS BC if handheld.

Not one. Everyone. I don't see the point. This is a gimmick. What's the appeal in "There's less buttons but you can move them anywhere you want ! "
Just give people buttons, they'll do fine.
Also from the look of it, the button placement is just anti ergonomic.

Sorry but as I said before NONE of you know how this feels, reacts or anything!
Im so glad it is Real at least in a prototype because it means Nintendo are not going the run of the mill way and continue to innovate and experiment.
Now really carnt wait for full reveal!
I also think this could be a mobile but join up with the home console.
Or this is the unit and works on Home system

I feel like you guys are pulling an Ice, and overreacting, that's my job.
I think it looks fine, but either way to call it ugly, wut.
The Dreamcast, Virtual Boy, and Steam Controller are all ugly. (Being comfortable has nothing to do with how it looks)
I think this looks sleek, but hey what do I know.

I'm going to go handheld as well. We know one exists because Matt was talking about it's resolution. This also looks extremely portable.

I feel like any other person would have just shown a link to the Wii announcement. In fact, that's what someone else did when talking about the same thing. He went out of his way to make an image of the thing and post it here. I guess he really wanted to show people what a possible announcement could be like, but it's unusual behavior to me at least.

You know, except for the fact that Nintendo owns a patent about the exact same screen form which specified that it was for a handheld.
It's 100 more likely than what you assume.

Maybe the buttons pop up like a braille touchscreen?
