reports say that its the nx controller, looks like (if its real) theyre trying to snag the cell phone games market with the benefit of physical sticks
but without physical buttons

the idea is the touch screen actually serves as a virtual controller which can be different for every game

and there's some kind of haptic feedback so you can "feel" the buttons (think the trackpad on the new MacBooks.)

I played around a bit with an emulator on an android pad that has haptic feedback, it was ok but any game that required manual dexterity was loving garbage (donkey kong country for example)

sony has a history of going back to the same controller, nintendo has a history of loving around and having people do whatever it takes to use it anyway

this just doesn't work. the feedback helps for knowing that you pushed a button, but there still isn't any way to know just what button your finger is pressing without looking down at the screen.

it's the same reason why those universal touchscreen remotes sucked and never really took off

it's the second distinct leak of that particular design, and game informer says they have dev source who say there are no face buttons.

they could have added some kind of tactile display, prototypes exist that use a grid of tiny bubbles or some such to make button edges appear and disappear

isn't a curved edge plus holes in the middle super expensive because you're paying for a whole square of lcd panel but throwing half of it away?

not really actually






the wiimote is the only real odd one out, even the gamepad is a regular-rear end controller with a screen in the middle.

i'm probably the most skeptical about nintendo leaks because nintendo always seems to attract the most people who make a physical mockup of their fake dream console/game/etc

didn't someone make a fullsized cardboard standee of a f-zero or starfox or something game for a "leak" a while back
