NX is everything. So of course more controls.
How could ANY controller have more controls than a PC keyboard?
Scrollable shoulder buttons
versus 1 scroll wheel on mouse.

I imagine the game is made for 360 controllers and would have to be designed around that?

I cant wait for Speculative NX thread #30.
Maybe this guys has a point and we shouldn't make one.

I'm thinking that free form patent and/or the shoulder wheels. BY2K on the ball again! He's a WUST alumni making us proud!
About the NX Home, i was thinking that something the size and form factor of the Mac Mini would be amazing. Small, compact, elegant and extremely good looking.
Lol now i'm actually starting to believe that something very similar to this tech could very well be the NX gimmick, which would be amazing. Think about it: the guy says it needs head tracking, which they already used in the New 3DS, and they actually patented something similar to what you can see in this video a few years ago. It would be a smart, unique and possibly not particularly expensive gimmick, that actually adds something to the experience and doesn't necessarily hurt performances.

Cause you tilt your head and see more stuff that needs different colors!

There's nothing to discuss even if they do.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
While it is big news, let's not just yet.
...I don't know. We don't even know if he's just assuming things based on, maybe, the same patents we know about / Nintendo's recent history with alternate controllers. Let's just stay here for now, also because if it gets too much visibility, AND if it's true he's working on actual NX dev kits...Nintendo Ninjas are bad, let's just say that.

Who is this guy and why should his comment be interpreted as anything other than "I want to port this game to the NX"? Doesn't seem like English is his first language and surely something is being lost in translation.
That's crazy! Maybe that speaks more towards the virtual devkit than a traditional "hardware" like one? That'd be a lot of hardware devkits to go around for all the different possible indie developers.
Also, could be scroll wheels!

These guys have a lot of balls even mentioning the NX. I guess the system is so amazing they can't help themselves.

Instead of freaking out, I just asked him if he had a kit or if he's speculating on different things.
Excellent. The NX is designed for us multi-armed Shiva-like deities. Move aside peasants for I am become death the destroyer of worlds.
Eh, I wonder if he can even answer such a question...even if, yeah, he seems to be quiet open (or distracted, depending on your point of view) about it. If he's saying the truth and not just trying to make a name for himself as the one who talked about NX first. I'm not against the guy in question, it's just a general sentiment towards leaks of any kind, especially from, well, unpredictable sources like this one. Especially at this point, with deafening silence and tight NDAs dominating the scene XD
Let's see what happens, yeah.

Dont make a new thread, too many implications.
First off its vague, the mods will let it run for 4 days then its done
Then the assumptions, "EA doesnt have a devkits but indie devs does? Nintendo doing it wrong again!"
Dude takes an L from the Nintendo Ninjas and bad stuff happens. (lol)

Yeah. Reyn, your thoughts on the matter?
Reyn: Let's not lose our heads though.
We seem to agree on this matter, bruh.

NX confirmed to be indie-only.

Guys, watch the video of the game on Steam. The controls look perfect for the Free Form Controller patent. Explains why 8 colors instead of 4.

There was this weird rumor that one big publisher hasent gotten any dev-kits by now and people assumed it must be either EA or Ubisoft because they shit on Nintendo when they abandoned the Wii U.
Hmmm, it could be the scrollable shoulder buttons.

You can also download the 3DS version to get an idea of how it plays. But yeah, having the the whole controller be a screen would let you throw more colors down.

Maybe that too, as the mouse wheel is utilized on the right, but still...8 colors instead of 4. Perfect for that dual analog setup in the patent.
I'm hoping they use both patents in NX.

Exactly, in order for us to be privileged with reliable insider info, we have to be responsible for how we further disseminate that info throughout NeoGAF and beyond. For example, last week's Survey Arma-900p-geddon, is a perfect example for how not to be trusted.
On the topic of multiple controls, do we have an idea of the controller scheme for the PC version? The dev specifically mentions the concept of 4 --> 8. This doubling may give us some indication at a control mechanism.

The guy said in his own comments on Facebook that the NX version of Puzzle Box is further in development than the PC version, but he can't wait for Nintendo to make their NX reveal so Steam version will be released first. Nice!
Also, Bit Boy for NX too? I imagine that indies don't even need dev kits yet to port simple PC games over later, but it seems Puzzle Box developer does have a variation of the NX dev kit in some form.
Happy Monday!

We can't be sure yet, which is why we have to stay cool about this, and not blow up every potential bit of Info, or else the floodgates will be shut before they even started to open up.

I dunno, that seems more speculative than anything else.
Maybe he's heard information from someone else, but to say that he already has a dev kit seems like a bit of a leap.

He implies he has a NX version of the game already but is making a PC version to release the game early on Steam because he doesn't want for the release of the NX to release his game.
A screen you can draw on? I dunno.

Couldn't he be lying or maybe just wishfully thinking that he can anticipate what the NX's development architecture would be?
They prob should not still be banned, Minecraft is coming to WiiU now, which they reported early on and the reason they got banned. They also were the ones who took the photo of the Mario Maker leak before that E3
