The real winner here is Nintendo.
Somewhere at NOJ and NOA there is a social media team reporting on this thread to senior management telling them it's a good indication that interest for the NX is high.
Knew it, and thank god. Nintendo can be stupid, but I hope they're not THAT stupid.
First we need that good ol Mega 64 video firstNow Nintendo just needs to announce a Nintendo Direct NX Edition next week and everything will be perfect!
I didn't get how anyone thought that could have been real. When has a controller looked just like a patent drawing? Those things are simple examples not actual designs.
That said when the second source popped up I was dumbfounded. I was ready to eat a massive crow.

Obviously.
No idea why people believed that given how fake it looked.
Edit: at least the black version has some effort behind it.
Or they might just be laughing their butts off
Or it could be what everybody wanted and likes? Not everything has to be a negative.Just wait till Nintendo reveal the real NX, and everyone wants this instead.

I dont see why people were 100% convinced now that 3d printing is a thing that anyone can do.

The argument was 3D printing that's this flawless isn't very accessible and they would doubt someone would take that much effort to do it.
BUT THEN AGAIN.

In before everyone says they knew it

Again, given how packed E3 2016 may end up being, it may be in Nintendo's best interest to reveal the NX device(s) before E3 to avoid getting overshadowed by Sony & Microsoft, then let their E3 presentation (whatever form it takes) be about the games.To be fair, the Wii U had some crazy and epic speculation threads, 7 of them, (six were full 20k post threads, the seventh wasn't as large), news about it was everywhere from GAF to N4G to IGN, yet the E3 2012 reveal killed all hype for the device and outside of us Nintendo enthusiasts, it sold like shit.
There's always hype for new hardware, regardless of the failures or success of the predecessor of that hardware, it's only natural that interest is high on something you don't know anything about.
We will see how things are come post-E3.
I think that gif was the biggest take away from this whole fiasco.
