Holy shit so this thing is possibly actually legit?
Funny this does remind me of the reaction to the Wii Remote.

No, they changed the sticks from nubs to actual sticks, made them clickable, changed the back grips, adjusted the size, changed the dpad position. A bunch of ergonomic changes. Did you guys read the article or watch the video? I'm not saying there's going to be drastic changes, but the 3 main complaints are
1. Ergonomics (the shape)
2. The nubs
3. Lack of buttons
And the top 2 have been shown to change fairly late
control schemes just aren't an issue. lack of feedback is though. I would never even consider buying this unless it has some secret sauce haptic feedback that makes it feel just as good as a button.
The thing that worries me about this design is the lack of proper grips. Haptic feedback and stuff is cool, I'm not sure how well it'll work but I'd be willing to give it a shot, but for me proper grips are necessary for gaming. I used to game on PC and one of the main reasons I had to leave it behind was because gaming on a keyboard for longer than an hour caused me a lot of pain. Same thing happened with my Vita before I got grips for it. For some reason gaming puts a lot of stress on my wrists but that doesn't happen when I have a traditional controller in my hands with the proper grips. I assume there will at least be a third party shell for it but it's a big oversight for someone like me.
whatever screw the haters
see this is what separates ninfans from the rest of yall. At least we have heart and soul, and are willing to stick with our loyalties to the bitter end. Sure we might disappointed now and then, but in the end nintendo in our eyes has delivered. And thats all that matters. We still have faith in something real, and we aren't quick to sell our souls to the fastest processors or the glitziest gadgets.
I believe
if youre a nintendo fan say it with me now. I believe.
I BELIEVE.
I got you fam.Well that image is ripe for a photoshop of the unit as Elmo's head.
I still think it's fake, but if not, color me intrigued.
You only need 2 buttons for a Mario platformer. Who says they can be sholder buttons.
This thread couldn't be more childish.Seems pretty doomed tbh
Not really. I imagine for most games you'll just use a standard (possibly customizable in terms of layout) digital button layout using haptic feedback for tactile response instead of physical buttons. And really, the only advantage a physical button would have over a digital one is tactile response

Yeah but still the "Doomed" cries or "Nintendo is over" statements are unnecessary though
On the other hand, I seriously doubt Nintendo would go with haptic buttons if they weren't 100% certain they'll work as well or better than traditional buttons. Right?
Good question.
Maybe it's like Vita.
An independent handheld, that can also be a second-screen controller for the home system. Or in this case, IS the controller for the home system. But scalped of physical buttons.

To clarify, this is the controller unit for the console.
Dev-kit, so it's not the final design, obviously.
Damn this is hilarious, really puts this thread in perspective.
Pulls out phone, loads up a game with a virtual controller.
Nope, it sucks.
There, tried it.
You know what. Im ok with it. Theres a PS4 and One if you want regular controllers. I like trying something new. The whole controller being a screen is cool. The UIs on that thing are going to be pretty slick.
Perhaps that part is matte. The screen looks like it stops in-between the analog.
Millenials are cute, forgetting all about the virtual boy.
I'm not normally one to bask in salt, but my god is this thread glorious.

I'm not seeing the 'totally new' here that Nintendo teased. On the surface this concept would be one of obvious refinements to the same ideas they've already explored. Unless there's 'one more thing' that puts a totally different spin on it.
I note that this device - if it is also their handheld - would allow a neat route/accommodation to touchscreen only mobile games, if that's where Nintendo's portable strategy is headed. Or if they want to keep that door open.
