We're taking the piss out of the other patent thread.
Oh, well, try to make the joke posts more obviously sarcastic people, because I really couldn't tell the difference.

I actually singled you out because I do think better of you so I was surprised by it!You apparently think very little of me to assume I'm being sincere and not mocking the people in the last NX patent thread.

Have people accepted the NX is going to be a portable yet?

Do I think there will be a portable version of the NX, certainly. But do I think that the NX will only be a handheld, hell no.Have people accepted the NX is going to be a portable yet?

....The image lacking buttons or analog sticks does not mean the real product will too.
Isn't Fumihiko a girl's name?
Who cares about that...NO ANALOG STICK AT ALL?!? What's this travesty!
Seriously, a sort-of-summary / explanation of the opening post, please?
I figured like four question marks was overdoing it, actually.
I hope my helpful edits help.
I think you're months late to the fact that its multiple devices, one of which is a handheld.
Lol. Now that I think, it is only natural that the next hardware will have even more focus on amiibos. It will come to a point that Nintendo will sell half of a game and the other half will be only accessible via amiibos.It detects amiibo nearby, interesting.
I am hoping it is both a console and a handheld.Have people accepted the NX is going to be a portable yet?
I mean, I was saying Nintendo was going to switch to an iTouch/iPad model the month the WiiU started tanking but... sure.
We'll see if they take it to the real eye opener step and go hybrid by turning the WiiU tech backwards but might be a generation too soon for that I guess.
Yep and the fact its on 4 sides could create some interesting multiplayer games eg, establish a base pulse, then play some scenes with jumpy fright scenes and whoever comes closest to maintaining their pulse wins.The vitality sensor like functionality seems like a nice way to enhance the experience depending on your pulse.
Actually Iwata has made statements about wanting the console & handheld to be "like brothers". Couple that with the recent patent (the one with the disc-less system) that explicitly mentions scalable software, Nintendo uniting their console & handheld development teams, & Iwata's use of iOS as an example of what he was talking about with the "like brothers" quote, & you have some viable ground for the shared NX Platform theory.That's interesting, I'll be massaging my Handheld a lot!
It's also interesting how people conclude that NX is either a Handheld or Console....or both when Nintendo hasn't said anything yet.

I think it was sarcasm but not sure... Lol....The image lacking buttons or analog sticks does not mean the real product will too.
I think with all the patents that have come out we can say one thing about the NX for sure. You can turn it sideways to play games in portrait mode.
The patent application odyssey continues.
The only issue is how this would work with existing Amiibos.This is neither outlandish, nor something super hard to do with current tech and seems to have some good use cases. Seems like a prime candidate for something that could be made into an actual product.
This would actually be for the NX Handheld.so many goddamn patents you'd think the NX controller was a magical shapeshifting demon.
It will be good for touch screen gaming! One of their goals I imagine will be to try to attract mobile indies to their platform and this will be one way to do it. Could create overlap with them in tablets and phones to get people to crossover easier to their platform and sell them premium content.
Not to mention it could allow for backwards compatibility with 3DS and DS games.
Nah. How are you going to play games with the buttons like that?
could be a way for the next handheld to only have 1 screen while retaining backwards compatibility

Seems like it could also double as a Wii U gamepad-like device for backwards compatibility etc
You guys do realize these patents are to show a new concept of a device, not to show how many buttons and control sticks are on the controller...
Got to be honest though, not liking this patent. I can't think of applications for this to appeal to me.

I figured like four question marks was overdoing it, actually.
- Space Pointer Function - For example if the device is positioned on a desk, these sensors can detect location/distance of finger (sliding on desk on side of device) and move cursor/character accordingly
- Side Surface Touching Operation - When holding the device in hands, these sensors can detect touch (e.g slide finger up/down to zoom)
Still waiting for Non Specific Action Figure AmiiboThe patent amiibo!
Seems like it can scan bar codes on the sides of the base of an amiibo like figure
For example this one:
Don't know/not sure if they come in thinner, strip-like configurations.
