Maybe the elemental or a new demo altogether. 62 dos certainly is interesting and could give credit to the crunching so many polygons and normal computers not being able to run it (62fps) maybe svogi enabled if it is UE4
Dude, there's a difference between that and this.
The Wii U gamepad is clearly based on an engineering drawing and is a patent for the device as a whole, whilst this shit is something someone cobbled together in 2 seconds to demonstrate a single concept. They're not exactly compatible.
And that doesn't look even remotely like the final shape of the wiiU pad...

That controller is sexy as hell but I am hoping for continued pro controller support as well! That battery life!!

This would be the dumbest thing
Though to be fair WiiU does support pro controllers
So if they want to experiment?..... Again like the WiiU concept i fail to see how a controller like this could elevate the medium
Ill bet on VR instead

My gut reaction is what the fuck is that? But retrospective of Nintendo back to their beginnings, they do innovate pretty consistently and I'll hold any judgments until I know more. But wow, it is strange looking.
Alright guys, it's time we pledge our allegiance.
For better or worse, this feels very Nintendo to me. When I saw this picture, I felt the same way I felt about the Wii and to a lesser extent, the Wii U- It's unique, albeit a little silly, but also seems kinda advance for a company I tend to always expect little from in that regard.
So for these reasons:

I don't know, man.
Looks relatively representative to the final product to me. If this is really the NX controller, it'd be hard for the patent to be that much simpler than the final product, given how simple the controller is, design wise.
The "leak" controller is missing both of the parts where you rest your hand/thumb tho... forgot how they're called.

This is Sharp's new free form display tech.

I can't believe people keep commenting like it's not there. That's proof right there that this image is fake.

Handles? Grips? Dildos?
Agreed, this could be great if it is real. Think about holding a smartphone that is more comfortable to hold and has real sticks instead of digital ones. Add feedback to the digital buttons like the steam controller does and the option for them to disappear if they aren't needed. The main screen could switch between TV and controller depending on what's best for each game, similar to the WiiU. This could be the answer to traditional games as well as smartphone games working on the same device.

Well there's your issue lol.
but it doesn't? There's stuff missing from this prototype that is on the patent.
I think a good question at first glance would be that who will this controller appeal too? Well first off since buttons are gone that might take a significant portion of Nintendo's core audience. Second why would casual consumers want a console with a controller that is worse then what they already own (based on Nintendo's past history like the wiiu). This could all be completely wrong of course.

Who is Idriss2Dev, did he ever exist? Is he making games???
Why is his studio getting to make games on it while Moon Studios complains about it???

Oh god, I can imagine the smudges and cracks that thing can get. They'd probably sell plastic protectors like they do phones.
Now I have to wonder if you're saying that as an onlooker or not, lol.

Pre-order cancelled.
Seriously, I REALLY hope this thing is fake. It has to be. Please.

I'm on mobile but it's in the black part very top middle. Looks as if ET took the photo and is being reflected on that black portion of the screen which doesn't make sense since it's not a bezel.

How is this unique?
Touchscreens, haptic inputs
Its all been done. They are just throwing shit at the wall. At least Wii was the first success of its kind in motion control.... And cmon... Lets be honest... That was sold on the back of wii sports

Yup, said this earlier in the thread. Of course it was ignored.
But yeah, to re-reiterate, the patent image from the OP is JUST for demonstrating applications of free-form displays in videogame controllers. It is NOT a patent for an entire controller design. Nintendo also have controller patents that look completely different than this for demonstrating other potential controller features, such as the scroll wheel triggers, and they look completely different.
The controller patent never mentions haptic feedback for the buttons. That's from a rumor. Which is also from Dual Pixels.

Which looks like a fake troll concept.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I see it now. Not convinced it is E.T. Could just be a blurry portion of the actual screen.
A gimmick is just an innovative idea that never catches on. Anybody thinking Nintendo would keep this much secrecy regarding a console when they need to innovate to make up ground for all the third parties and sales they've lost hasn't been paying attention. Nintendo is not interested in making big deals about the status quo. Nintendo is not like Sony; they innovate first and they do it BIG, instead of adding something later (in Sony's current case, PSVR).
I personally really dislike invisible/digital buttons, so I'm not crazy about this. That said, we don't even know if it's real, so it's really not worth the energy in accepting that it is, in fact, the real deal.
