Nintendo NX Controller Leaks Confirmed To Be Fake

Nintendo’s upcoming console, now under the working title Project NX, has been in the news recently after a picture surfaced of a controller that could conceivably be the one that ships with the console when it launches (whenever that may be).

The images included below were brought to light by Reddit user, perkele37.

Today, more leaked images for the controller have made it to the internet, however, this time, the images are shot in a decent quality and do seem to showcase a genuine piece of hardware.

Only the upper “nubs” of the sticks move.

There’s a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom. Latest rumors say Nintendo will unveil NX before E3 2016 and release it by the end of this year and the beginning of 2017.

It is true that, at the moment, we have no real proof as far as the authenticity of the images is concerned.

Images that purport to show at least one piece of Nintendo’s forthcoming “NX” game machine appeared on Reddit Wednesday morning, closely matching a game system design shown in a patent filed by Nintendo in December.

A new series of photos purportedly showcasing a Nintendo NX controller have hit the web. Though I do don’t believe this will be the final design. The post also states there will be a rumble feature built into the controller, but closer to Apple’s “taptic” feedback than a traditional controller’s vibrations. The controller looks to have two analog sticks on a screen that covers the rest of the face. Any other buttons, as shown in other patent images, would be “virtual buttons” that appear on the controller’s screen next to the joysticks.
