You’ve probably seen the latest rumoured images of the Nintendo NX controller and the internet has gone wild. You’re either on Team Fake or Team Real. However, Game Informer editor Andy McNamara says that he has heard that the NX won’t feature face button so the leaked picture matches what he has heard. Let the speculation continue!
I had heard that the NX wouldn't have face buttons, so the leaked pictures match what I was told but was unable to confirm.

We’ve all seen the patent…this guy is nothing special. I could say the same thing on Twitter. Everyone’s damn grandma could say the same thing.
I’m just waiting for the “April Fools!” tweet from the faker.

A french tweet I found on my timeline
It says “Prototypes of consoles and controllers often differs completely from the final product”
A reminder to not overreact to these leaks
Differs completely? The DS one is almost the same.
I just translated the tweet, mate
No.
It looks like this is just a screen. Like you well be able to attach it to different kinds of accessories. Like a gamepad attachment.
The on the bottom right is real? It’s… Busy… to say the least XD

“I see the picture, so it must be fake!” – Nintendo Fanboy
I see the picture, so it must be real!
-Troll
obviously he was trolling, he knows from what I’ve seen of him knowing his stuff…you fell for it.
I see a picture not from the actually creator of the product and I should believe it?
So NO Letter Buttons!? WTF? Now I worry that Nintendo yet ANOTHER fault console by made by Nintendo… Well look like going be in 3rd place for another 5 years…
Its fake….
How do you know?
Because I’m me…I know my shit. I’m not a moron. I’m almost never wring when it comes to the gaming industry. Hell I am developer. Even though I don’t have an NX Dev kit It’s easy enough to tell. Finalized products never look like the patent. This is the same thing that was confirmed fake the other day just without the shitty photoshopped picture of that UE4 tech demo. And a different cord. Which that cord looks like it’s a headphone cord lol. Until , Nintendo reveals the NX at E3 it’s all phony BS.
I’m sorry, is this an official announcement? No.
I’m sorry, do you actually KNOW what that controller does? No.
I’m sorry, do you actually know whether or not that’s even the controller to the NX or a separate sold system that will connect to the NX? No.
So shut up until we actually get an announcement.
My thoughts exactly. There’s no reason to freak out over a “leaked” controller picture. Until Nintendo decides to share information about their upcoming console everyone should chill out and wait.
You talking to me or the Game Informer idiot? (I’m on my phone so it’s hard to tell)
were is the nx’s name on that controller? nintendo always puts its logo’s on the controllers
Oh come on! It is so easy to make a controller like that, just search in the internet, this is not real.
Bullshit rumour from bullshit source.
New hashtags #TeamFakeNX and #TeamRealNX. Mine is Fake
-||I’ll make my own controller, mine will have 4 if everything||-
“Confidential Property” they don’t even try to make a believable fake.
True… I mean, look at the people who make custom consoles and mods. A lot of them just do it as a hobby, and make their work look 10x better than this “leak”. For someone with that kind of skill set, making this would be fairly simple.
If you look closely, you can see that the analog sticks on the screen are static. They forgot the handles too, the patent shows them. Poorly maked.
even for a prototype this looks stupid. i dont think nintendo would ever begin a build concept with some that looks so uncomfortable to hold. even the n64 controller,with its bulky mass, had contour shape. if this is legit its definitely only a partial design. (at least i hope)
I just want a controller without all the gimmicks. Nintendo can still put their unique polish on it without anything crazy.
New console should always mean a new controller. If you stay stagnant on 1 controller you go the way of Atari. Who believed controls should always be 1 button and 1 stick. If you don’t get a new controller with a new system your only buying half a new product. Otherwise your just getting an upgraded console from last gen not a new console. Gimmicks are a good thing. They can end up bad but it’s good to try new things.
The Playstation has done pretty well for itself using just one controller design. In fact I think having a standard controller that gets slight improvements every generation is the best way to go. That’s exactly why the PS4 controller is the best controller on the market.
No NFC indication? Surely Nintendo wouldn’t want to give up its amiibo functionality :o
The “NFC square” on the GamePad is just visual.
Even though it’s fake to be fair it could be like the New 3DS where you just scan an amiibo on the screen…lol
Right, that is what I’m thinking…the new 3ds did this, you don’t need a little paint mark for you to use it. I wondered what it was for a loooong time until amiibo came out and I thought, “Oh, its a skylanders thingy for nintendo products. They are going the plastic comes to life thing”.
Hey Sickr, this isn’t related. But there is a major annoying bug on the main page of the site that causes the page to break and need to be reloaded when it tries to load past articles from scrolling down. It’s really gotten old.
I get that a lot on my IPhone -_- I thought it was just my device, but it does it a lot when I try to reply to a comment or view a picture full size on the mobile site :/
I thought it was it was IE at first (when I used it a long time ago) but it’s happening on Chrome too.
Nah, I’m far from being a fanboy, but I call this fake.
Nintendo is stupid sometimes, but they can’t afford being so twice in a row.
Twice? The gamepad was FINE. The problem was the marketing. Everyone thought it was a tablet for the OLD Wii. For 3 years people still came into stores asking where the “new” Nintendo console was “not the tablet”.
True. They definately should have gone with a different naming scheme >_>
Yup, twice in a row. The gamepad is bulky and forces you to unnaturally share your attention between 2 screens to play a damn video game.
I don’t thing that was the problem much, to me it was more of the market and name. I got attached to it day one. I am worried though if this is real. I’ll still get it reguardless like I did with xbox 360 and playstation 4, shitted on them too for no games as well, but I just don’t know. I’m having a major hunch this is real considering the blueprints leaked waaaaay longer than we got the actual picture of the nx controller.
Twice? Wii was fine. Wii U was fine too. It was just the name and market that sunk the Wii U.
*marketing.
Wii was fine. Wii U has been a letdown so far, and probably won’t have its status changed in the future. I mean, it’ll be a cult and praised hardware in few years by some gaming jornalists and prople who wear nostalgia googles. But business and technically wise, it has been a horrid error.
No. Just no. I hate this thing. ;_; I still don’t believe these leaks, though :p
Until I get it in my hands, even if this is it, I won’t know for sure. I have not been let down by the actual playability of the hardware (Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, whatever) so I can’t fault anything yet. They try it out a bunch before it goes to market (obviously) so it isn’t going to be completely unplayable
I REALLY hope this turns out to be fake. Worst thing is, I’m leaning towards real.
you too huh?
Yeah. It’s far from confirmed, but I have a feeling. Maybe it’s the timing, I don’t know.
well I’m with you on the “could be real” part…and “I might like it but I don’t like the design” part too. I’m still wondering if this is real, how the hell am I to play on it…there are already rumors about its spects and shit…I just hope they don’t flop again so it better be dam well worth the purchase for many fans this time. I will still buy it because thats what I am, a gamer, I buy other consoles too…but they better fix the problems they have with other fans and their stupidity of “Y U NO KEEP ONLY SAID GAMES” or “ONLY NINTENDO GAMES FOR ME, THE REST IS GARBAGE”, Oh my bad, I meant fanboys/fangirls and not the good ones either. What am I thinking, they will never go for that. I meant the real fans that buy the system only and nothing else but expect more games from others like (I know I’m gonna get ranted for this) EA, Ubisoft, capcom, and many others. Also, if they are in it this time, they better stick to it or they all including ones that do stay like capcom did, will lose all respect from me and I hope many others who agree. Tatsumi, you done well once you got in, now show me you are right for the job. Make me want this system more than the previous nintendo systems. Show me that you want fans back, and I’ll keep my promise to keep buying. I hear this is your last chance nintendo, DON’T FUCK UP!
Just because the image matches the description, doesn’t make it real.
reminds me of the time sony and the snes tried to collab on that console, except now it’s the nx and vita? lol
:/
Pathetic
