lol I just saw my Microsoft paint edit on the controller posted on Twitter
I want to see ALL of the grass tho. How dare Nintendo cover up part of the screen to prevent me from enjoying the scenery. Smh.
Well as usual you've summed it up quite nicely.It doesn't aesthetically look horrible, but it's also not immediately clear to me what the advantage of this is. Here's my thinking:
- An oval screen has less screen real estate than an equivalently long/wide rectangle screen
- With the analogue sticks inside the screen, any grip angle will cover a portion of the screen "outside" the sticks
- Ergo, developers will not use the outside of the screen, so the effective screen real estate is more like the area inside of the sticks.
Given this, I'd rather a rectangular screen with the sticks outside the screen on a bezel, which also has the side-effect of allowing buttons.
- Touch screen controls are OK
- But they've been OK on my phone for the last 8 years so it's not clear to me why I wouldn't just use my phone. It's clear to me why Nintendo wouldn't want people to just use their phones, but it's not clear to me why I wouldn't just want to use my phone.
- Also if touch screen controls are OK, I'm not sure why I'd care much about the analogue sticks. It seems to me that I'd rather buttons and no sticks than sticks and no buttons.
surely this will greatly improve Nintendo's third party support....
How can this be real? Look at the size of that ear bud, now how the fuck did a grown up pair of hands hold it? Thumb on top and two fingers underneath? And how do you hit the mouse wheels? Or the no buttons go that matter. What is it 5 inches across? No way it can be real, even Nintendo can't be that fecking stupid!
You guys are jerks lol. Trying to kill the prophet
I am absolutely not assuming backwards compatability, and I think it's very likely it won't be backwards compatible at all, since there's a good chance they'll be going with a completely different OS architecture to the Wii U
If this is real I wonder if people will stop the Zelda Wii U shitposting because at least that controller makes sense dndncbc
And knowing Nintendo, that's probably another low resolution screen :lol
Probably like 100 pixels between the sticks!
Poor guyHelznicht said:The boomerang is lookin pretty damn good right about now
Its called the PRO and ill lose my shit if its not supported and thrown in the box
There's this thing called a TV that you will be playing the games on.
Touchscreens are awfully shitty substitute for buttons. This is gross.
There's this thing called a TV that you will be playing the games on.
That this is infact not the handheld but the controller for a console makes this EVEN MORE insane.
Double down on gamepad, now in a weird oval form without buttons. Just fire the entire hardware department into the sun. How fucking clueless could they get?
Christ fuck. Going to be great seeing people walk back from "Mobile gaming is trash due to no buttons/capacative is shit" to "Nintendo bringing fun out of the box innovation!!!!" like clockwork.
Looks like what I would expect out of a Vita2...
I never would have imagined that Nintendo would basically take a Vita and make it the next controller for their console.
I can't believe that Nintendo made a new controller even more expensive to produce than the WiiU's controller... like wow...
...they didn't
3rd parties never really had an issue with the gamepad, they had an issue with how the Wii U was selling.
After using iPad for *heavy* gaming in the last 3 years I have ZERO problem with touch screen buttons...
...however...
...WHO THE FUCK THINKS AN OVAL CONTROLLER IS ERGONOMIC ?!?
NINTENDO, YO, THERE IS A REASON EVERY SONY AND XBOX CONTROLLER EVER HAVE HANDLES AND ARE NOT OVAL!!!
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ovalness of this shit NEEDS TO GO!!!
Look at the reflection in the first image, then look at Massive's HQ in Sweden
Same tree
Same fucking tree man
Shit
Endless, did u make that image yourself? I feel baaadddd for this person if he/she gets done in like this. Such an amateur mistake too lol
I mean, that's just a patent, so it might be intentional misdirection on how they might use it (Ie, hide the actual purpose they wanted this for), or it might just be a completely irrelevant and easier to understand way of showing the idea. Remember, the patent was for a freeform display. No reason to add info relevant haptic stuff to the freeform display patentWhat about the original image that shows game play on the screen? Also - the patent that is nearly a 1:1 of this picture shows gameplay being shown.
Also - if it isnt backwards compatible.. damn. That would really hurt IMO. It would be the first console that nintendo has made since the NES that didnt have some sort of cross-compatibility or backwards-compatibility.
Kimi is on the phone right now calling the Ninjas
