Posted March 23, 2016 These pictures have me pretty terrified. For the past few years, I've had problems with my fingers where I can't use my iPhone with my fingertips for more than a minute or so without them aching. Because of this, I'm stuck with using a stylus to use my phone for browsing / gaming (I'm using it to type this right now!) If the NX controller has touch screen buttons rather than something physical, I literally don't think I'll be able to play it without hurting myself. At this point, I can only pray it's a very good fake, or the console is well supported with a 'classic' controller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2016 If it's the Tactus technology then I'd be worried about the longevity of the controller. Seems like there'd be a lot that could go wrong if buttons keep appearing and disappearing, don't see how we'd get the usual robust device that we're used to Nintendo making.

Posted March 23, 2016 I asked on Gaf and the poster who suggested it was Massimo replied so he literally checked Ubisoft dev's first and got a close match Man if its correct that is hilarious, now the Nintendo ninja's only need scale the walls and execute Ubisoft were where all of the Wii U leaks came from. Wouldn't surprise me if they were responsible once again (the only thing that would surprise me is that Nintendo would be stupid enough to let them do it again :p ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2016 I'm intrigued with the technology as Nintendo must believe they nailed it however PS4 sales show people are more than happy with a regular controller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2016 If you could clip on traditional buttons then it'd be okay I guess. Looks sleek but painful. And also, very unfriendly for children, which is fine by me but perhaps not great for Nintendo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 23, 2016 If there is one company that can pull off weird shit like this though, it's Nintendo You would think so. I've got a Macbook with a 'taptic' trackpad and it feels exactly the same as a normal one, I'm just not sure how that technology would work with more than one input on a surface.

Posted March 23, 2016 Nintendo, don't do it. Just don't. For the love of god. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2016 My mac touchpad works great with more than one input on the surface... most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 23, 2016 Yeah because Nintendo, or someone connected to them, would confirm it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 23, 2016 I have an iPhone with 3D Touch, it's great for its use but in no way does it feel like a physic button, I just vibrates. . The trackpad on the Mac is slightly more impressive m, but it's replicating something so simple. Just don't see it being close to a reasonable alternative to buttons. Worrying. Unless it's the handheld. And the main console comes with a controller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2016 Not as an official confirmation you pill :p Do you really think someone would risk their job even in an unofficial capacity? I've just seen the tweet you're referring to. It's very 'my uncle who works for Nintendo'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2016 If there is one company that can pull off weird shit like this though, it's Nintendo Yep. I think their track record should allay some fears: the D-pad, shoulder buttons, analog sticks, the rumble pack, analog shoulder buttons, the Wii remote, Gamepad streaming (their own proprietary no-lag technology)... I'm very intrigued, it could be very cool, and having adaptive interfaces for each game opens up a lot of doors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2016 My uncle who works at Nintendo confirmed to me it's real and said we should all bail while we can on Nintendo and jump ship to a company that knows what the fuck they're doing like Retro VGS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 23, 2016 That Tactus Company? Could this mean something? nice images also Corey from the nintendo Treehouse team retweeted the neogaf thread, what could it all mean? I'm loving the speculation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 23, 2016 You're forgetting that we're halfway through a generation. The core gamers already have their main console of choice. If this were the start of a console cycle then I'd absolutely agree with you. I don't get this train of thought - People buy new things everyday. If a product is appealing people will buy it. Exclusive games - I only bought a PS1 for FF7, amidst my N64 and Dreamcast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 23, 2016 You asked if someone would risk their job. In my experience, yes they do. Well yes I suppose if we're going to talk in very literal terms, someone would. Within the context of this conversation it should have been implied that it was specific to the details surrounding the release of a brand new console when supposed leaks are already in the air (meaning Nintendo is likely to crack down further on NDAs). There's a difference between some Pokémon leaks and a brand new console. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
