> Title:
Game Apparatus and Information Processing Apparatus
> Publication Date:
12/10/2015
> Filing Date:
06/09/2015
> Abstract:
A non-limiting example information processing apparatus comprises a housing, and a first portion of the housing is formed in an elliptical form when viewing from the front. A display panel and a touch panel constitute one main surface of the first portion. Holes are formed in left and right end portions of the display panel and the touch panel, and two operation sticks are provided through the two holes. When viewing the first portion from the front, an area except key tops of the operation sticks becomes a display area.
I'm confused. What would this look like as a final product?
'cause we all know how great it is to use on-screen buttons for emulators on smartphones.

>>319685408
Most likely a regular controller except the entire face of it is an capacitive/LED screen, including around physical buttons.
Awesome, nostalgiafags can piss off with their outdated ""buttons""
>touch screen simulated buttons and sticks
Nintendo, you'd better just fucking commit suicide now.
>>319685507
Those hexagons are analog sticks, real ones
No Nintendo don't do it!!!!!!! No one cares for the stupid gimmicks when will you learn!!!!!!!!!!!!
> what the fuck
Better than the new Vita.
>>319685283
Too small to be able to see anything, how is this supposed to be success the wii u when it looks worse already
>>319685715
It's just a patent dude.
Nintendo.
No one likes your stupid controllers that go out of their way to be different. The last good controller you made was the gamecube controller, and guess what? That was a normal goddamned controller.

>>319685651
I like the idea of button explanations and the HUD only being on the controller. Its sleek and stylish, but isn't really necessary. So its almost certainly going to be the NX.
>>319685871
Jesus Christ, you don't leak a patent you fucking idiot.
The patent was published, not leaked. God damn you people are stupid.
Not to mention companies patent many things that they never use.
>>319685283
What the fuck is it with Nintendo and stupid fucking gimmicks? Why are they so opposed to selling a normal fucking controller?
>>319685651
Is that monster hunter? But monster hunter already had a squt button, it doesn't needs another one

OH MY GOD. IT'S TRUE. ALL OF IT.
>>319685986
They want to have their cake and eat it too.
The cake being Wii-era casual dosh dollars, and eating it too referring to the hardcore fanbase.
Frankly, if this is legit, then I'm done with Nintendo's consoles. I love their IPs and their titles, but I'm so sick of having to deal with some stupid gimmick or another just to play Zelda or Mario or whatever.
>>319685947
I already said how the WiiU one was used in the final so there's that
Literally have been thinking this would be cool Idea for Nintendo's next console and hardware. Glad to know Nintendo and I are on similar wavelengths
>>319685761
I seriously don't understand how they can be so out of touch.
For fuck sakes, you released a GCN controller last fucking year and it sold better than the Wii U did.
>>319686336
>if this is legit
First off, it's a patent and you can view it on the patent office website.
Second, just because a company patents something, doesn't mean they will use it.
>>319685283
Hey OP, I"m about to roll out the death ray from the garage. Whats that? You don't believe me? Well I patented it of course it exists.
>>319686545
I'll drive over there in my car, no worries, it uses water instead of gas. There's a patent for it if you don't believe me.
>>319686531
Even if it is just a patent, I don't like the idea of this concept floating around Nintendo. It is not what they need to be focusing on, and it just highlights how incredibly stupid they are for even considering something like this right now.
>>319686725
>I don't like the idea of this concept floating around Nintendo
You're an idiot you know that right? Nintendo, like every big corporation, has R&D that work on many things that they patent.
Nitnendo isn't just Reggie, the CEO, Miyamoto, Anoruma and Sakurai.
There are thousands of people there who work on many things.
OH MY GOD
>>319686940
>>319686193
Shitty fake, you didn't even get the font right.
>>319686725
That's not how patenting works. Nintendo, like every company, has tons of people working on new ideas at once and they patent it just in case. It doesn't mean they're going to even consider using it.
>>319686940
that poor network must be sad, it is getting consoled
>>319687128
>Fake patent
>>319686894
That has nothing to do with what he said
Remember those pain in the ass gimmicky analog sticks the N64 controllers had? Nintendo should stop trying out new gimmicks! They always fail miserably...
>>319687515
Nintendo invented analog sticks?
>>319687256
>>319686940
>>319686193
Oh wait those were patents for the Microsoft Xbox handheld in 2007. I guess Nintendo can't do that.
>>319687261
yes it does. He said that he doesn't like the idea of this floating around.
In his mind, he must think Nintendo is a small company.
Nintendo and ever company floats ideas and has small teams of people work on shit that get tossed around and patented. There is more than enough resources within Nintendo that they can work on this without it interfering with anything else or taking too much focus away from other projects.
>>319686940
http://www.google.tt/patents/US20070087830
This is Microsoft's patent
>>319685283
NX confirmed flop
>>319686894
Doesn't matter if it's the entire company or one small facet of it, even wasting resources on an idea as stupid as this shows how out of touch Nintendo is with consumer demand in today's gaming market.
The Wii U should have taught Nintendo that gimmicks are not what people want. The NX is their chance to get things back on track and seeing this idea even considered long enough to get patented tells me they're putting people to use in the wrong areas (doesn't matter if it's one person or an entire team or the whole company).
I don't want to see ANY hint of more gimmicky controllers that take away development potential for third party devs while also ensuring some controller gimmick is shoehorned into their IPs in the future. It tells me that they're focusing on the wrong aspects of their games, and makes me not want to buy their products.
>>319685651

I keep saying it and I'll say it again.
Stop complaining and let Nintendo do what it does best.

>>319687515
Analog sticks aren't a gimmick, you dumb shit.
Waggle, kinect, the wii-u gamepad, PSEye, etc are all gimmicks.
What the fuck is next from this retarded board? Buttons are gimmicks? The TV is a gimmick? Fuck you children are stupid
>>319685283
That's awesome
>>319687650
They made them commonplace and showed that it was ideal for moving around in a 3D environment. Keep in mind the ps1 launched with no analog sticks on its controller at all. I for one am glad nintendo tries to figure out different ways to improve gaming overall instead of just releasing the same console with slightly better graphics every few years. Sometimes they hit the jackpot, sometimes its a complete failure, but they are more inventive then any other company in gaming.
>>319688370
The gamepad could have not been a gimmick if they added proper touch support in video games, and longer range/able to be completely disconnected from the system. Think a big 3DS with gamepad abilities.
Even still, it's an interesting piece of technology when somebody's using the TV.
>>319688370
You have a serious hunger for bait, my friend.
>touch screen controllers
Nope. Never gonna be okay with that. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea has never tried to play an emulator on a tablet or phone.
>>319688658
But he's right. Analog sticks aren't gimmicks. Face it. He blew you the fuck out.
>>319685408
Similar to this.

But anon, inaccurate, unpractical, experimental shit that is hardly used even though it's shipped with the console are the future of videogames. Senile japanese old men with no reflexes know better.
>>319688528
I think part of the problem is we've reached a point where control in video games has never been better.
Two analog sticks for movement and camera control with a handful of buttons that perform as expected when pressed will never be beaten by any touch/motion/gimmick controller.
I just kinda think they're innovating in the wrong direction.
Iwata already spoke about the importance of physical controls. They aren't getting rid of buttons or sticks you dumb fucks.

>>319688763
They were considered gimmicks when the N64 launched dumbass. Its not considered one now because it caught on. Nintendo doesnt know what will catch and what wont, which is why they try new things.

This is nothing new. Stop pretending you're some hardcore gamer when you're just a whiny faggot on a chinese message board.
>>319689110
They were considered that in 1996 dumbass. And then the ps1 copied it because it worked.

>>319689472
You faggots have been saying this shit since the wii. It's still not funny.
The problem Wii U ran in to (and also Vita/3DS) is that they were designed partially in reaction to iOS/Android and the "revolutionary" changes were outdone by Steve Jobs
It does look like the Pokken controller though
>>319689094
Shit.
>>319685651
Oh I get it, it does have physical buttons but the controller is also a screen.
Seems like something that could get damaged easily.
OMG NX CONFIRMED RELEASING ON JANAURY WITH THIS CONTROLLER :O
>>319688920
Iwata is screaming out from the hell-dimension. He begs for peace, but Nintendo's bad decisions force him to remain in the torture realm.
>>319689289
The retard is strong with this one.
>>319689147
>>Wii had motion control and now every fucking system does
A lot of systems had motion controls even before Wii, it's just that nobody gave a shit about them.
Why does Nintendo always try some kind of gimmick?
>>319689761
Wow what a concise thought out argument. /sarcasm
>>319689771
I think Antigrav was the only game that worked alright outside of games that put the video feed on the TV.
>>319689771
Yes but wii popularized it and you know it. Don't be a smartass.
And if you want to talk about earlier iterations then the NES had motion controls idiot.
Why does the gamepad get so much hate? I thought it was by far the best controller this gen.
>>319689864
because unlike the competition they want their new consoles to be more than a cod machine with better graphics
>>319690276
Because it's fun to hate on the Wii U and GamePad apparently
>>319690297
So why don't they just make unique video games with fun mechanics, instead of trying to shoehorn in some underutilized convolution to the control method?
>>319690297
Well, if the Wii U sales and attachment rates of both Wiis don't let them know they failed miserably, nothing will.
>>319689771
>>319690276
because it's different
gaming has reached a point where everyone just wants the same over and over again
>>319690452
Because you can't have practical, accurate, tried and tested input methods baka gaijin.
>>319685479
It better be around physical buttons, I'm a huge nintendo fan but if they're phasing out physical buttons they're losing me.
>LE EVERYTHING IS A GIMMICK meme
Just like analog sticks and rumble feedback, amirite?
Also, this is just a goddamn patent, just like the thousands of others that never were used.MCDONALDS!
>>319689771
And N64 wasn't the first to have an analogue stick. It was just the only one worth a damn and thats why everyone copied suit.
>>319690752
>and rumble feedback, amirite?
Yeah.
>>319690297
But why not focus on the gameplay, not strapping yourself into a medieval stretching machine with 4 buttons 3 screens and a microphone that acts as a button when you yell NINTENDO
>>319689938
The very first post you replied to was being sarcastic, but you replied to it seriously. That is why everyone is calling you a retard.
>>319689585
How is that even possible you buttblasted retard?
>>319690762
Aren't d-pads more of a gimmick than analog sticks?
They were the most common input method for games up until the d-pad came along.I am likely hideously wrong though
>>319690224
>then the NES had motion controls
No, it didn't, idiot.
>>319690762
And D-pads and rumble on controllers were features left in the dust, innit?
>>319690506
Nice
>>319690912
nintendo games actually focus on the gameplay
or have you seen them releasing cinematic experiences filled with QTE?
>>319691479Xenoblade Chronicles XKind of
>>319690902
Good thing that that gimmick was dropped when Sony released the Sixaxis and absolutely no one complained about the absence of rumble features, anon?
>>319689591
That might possibly be the most comfortable looking controller I've ever seen. I also have a strange urge to lick it.

Hi.
Also, accessible "family friendly" games are just as brain-dead as movie games in my book.
>>319691619
If I cared about what retards think, I wouldn't browse this board anymore. Rumble is a miserable gimmick that exists merely as tradition.
>>319691962
Other M had good gameplay tho despite the (shit) cinematic story
>>319692123
>Other M had good gameplay
>>319688891
I think part of the problem is we've reached a point where control in video games has never been better.
One d-pad for movement with two face buttons for running/shooting and jumping that perform as expected when pressed will never be beaten by any analog stick/touch/motion/gimmick controller.
I just kinda think they're innovating in the wrong direction.
>>319692123
Oh yeah, mashing the d-pad to dodge was really great. Pixel hunting too. And who could forget digital input on a 3D game?

>>319688891
What? You couldn't be more fucking wrong. The pinnacle of user input for gaming, or any tech for that matter, would be having no physical input device at all. The Kinect is ahead of its time, and mark my words, it WILL be the future, once engineers actually get it to work efficiently.
>>319686940
>poor little Network
>>319691047
If you mean joysticks from arcades then you're wrong. The deal with analog sticks is that they can understand all sorts of subtle movements while old joysticks only read movement in 8 directions even though it looked like they should act in the same way.

Nigga Nintendo was trying motion control shit since nes days, they just sucked so bad back then it didn't leave an impression.
>>319692230
Other M did have fantastic gameplay though. Far more Metroid-y than the Prime games.
>>319688528
>the ps1 launched with no analog sticks on its controller at all.
It also launched 2 years before the N64. Analogue Playstation controllers were already in development when the N64 came out and were released a few months later.

>>319693715
>Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
Yep. They thought the Wii U would instantly be a best seller by riding on the popularity of the Wii and they quickly learned they were wrong. Right now they're trying to beef up the Wii U lineup a tad more before they release the NX (which they plan to be much different than the Wii/U thank god) so as not to pull a Sega.
Fingers crossed.
>>319694127
The theory is that there will be a home console and a removeable/extra handheld version that goes with this home console so you can play both at home and on the go. The picture is supposed to be the handheld portion you donut.

>>319695501
Fucking this.
Namco Bandai is sitting on the patent for placing mini-games in the loading screens.
IIRC they made a game for the PS1 that had like Galaga on the loading screen or something. It would have made the wait back in those days way more enjoyable.
Wait is it basically a touch screen controller? Because if it is then its going to be complete fucking garbage.
>>319696759
yes, and it's confirmed coming january
>>319696759
Most people disagree with you. It would make Nintendo actually stand out. The other 2 consoles are just PC's with a refined controller design from last gen.
>>319695501
Naughty Dog has a patent on gameplay without loading screens.
>>319696759
There are physical buttons, but the display wraps around where they stick out.
>>319696910
>It would make Nintendo actually stand out
Just like the wii u stood out with its tablet controller. We all know how that ended up.
>>319696926
Naughty Dog is a subsidiary of Sony now. Sony owns various patents related to AI, music game mechanics and also several rendering techniques and libraries.
>>319697057
>Just like the wii u stood out with its tablet controller.
Yes?
>>319697057
Yeah, people fell in love with their Wii U and actually think the controller is innovative and allows a different playing experience to the conventional designs of PS4/XBO which are literally just PC's in a smaller form factor.
>>319696759
No, think of the controller as having a flat face. There are two analog stick (drawn as hexagons seen under the thumbs) while the rest of the controller's face is the actual screen.
This is the handheld portion.
>>319697057
People talk shit about the tablet but in terms of being able to move around and play while on the toilet, or without even needing to turn on the TV, I was living the dream. Didn't get much use out of it as a secondary screen though.
The biggest fault with the Wii U aside from marketing WAS the tablet though. It's no doubt expensive so it brought up the price of the entire Wii U, kind of like the Xbox One with the kinect. So people think it was expensive.

Well, I really hope Nintendo scraps this idea. Tactile touch screen tech does exist tho, if it's a touchscreen that feels like buttons that'd be cool but I doubt it
How to make a perfect controller
>Take an Xbox one controller
>Make the bumpers be pressable from all angles, not just the far side. That shit is annoying.
>Leave everything else the same except
>Add four buttons on the bottom of the controller where your middle and ring finger naturally rest, 2 on the left, two on the right
>Make the buttons have different braille like bumps to differentiate them without having to look.
>Keep two "options" button, but add a third slider right in the middle with a button to go with it that would be used as an activator for the slider
>The slider could be used for all kinds of shit, it would be contextual based on the game. You could lock the running speed of your character, or use it for FOV or other settings, whatever.
Bam. Perfect controller.
>>319685283
why? why can't we just have a really good ergonomic controller like the snes and gamecube controller
>>319689021
I will admit that it's much faster and more precise, but maybe too sensitive
>>319699261
MUH INNOVASHUNI really wish they'd leave controllers alone, they're good enough already. You have complete, PRECISE, control over your videogames and that's what they're supposed to do instead of gimmicky bullshit.

The point is that the entire front face of the controller is a visual screen, including the controllers
Between the Amiibos, letting NoA handle game localizations (censorship everywhere), to the constant renewed focus on kiddie games despite them saying core gaming is coming, to them basically pushing out the 3rd party out the door, to the gimmicky controls, to the awful price of games that almost never drops, to the high price of digital games, to the awkward and ancient online infrastructure, the zealous/insane fans and just the entire attitude of the company of the past decade and a half..
I'm done with Nintendo. Even their handhelds are losing allure with me.
Keep in mind
This is a patent request that's been filed to be judged, filing patents doesnt mean theyve been doing this, they have to request it to be accepted.
Meaning, its literally too late for this to be NX if they are planning a 2016 release
Shit takes around 2 and a half years for approval
If anything, its going to be the next Nintendo handheld

>>319685669
Is that the new Vita? Hope the old Vita games are compatible with that one
Just wish Nintendo would focus on the games rather than the controllers or gimmicks. They clearly have an amazing understanding of game design but lately have been shoving it aside in favor of gimmicks.

The analog nub on the PSP was trash.

Keep in mind
This is a patent request that's been filed to be judged, filing patents doesnt mean theyve been doing this, they have to request it to be accepted.
Meaning, its literally too late for this to be NX if they are planning a 2016 release
Shit takes around 2 and a half years for approval
If anything, its going to be the next Nintendo handheld
Also, even by some chance it is the NX
Its still a normal controller, with buttons, and not a fuck huge screen within the controller rather it is the controller
You have literally nothing to complain about

>in-screen buttons
smartphones tried this since 2010 and always fail because fingers hide the fucking screen.

They definitely won't release the NX in 2016, they need an E3 event a year beforehand to build up hype and leave enough time for announcement of features in between.

nintendo clearly caught a case of retardation from sega, don't bet on them doing a new console right or learning from the wii u
>>319705025
where's the gimmick anon?
Where on this controller, is there a gimmick?
Being touch screen without needing to hold a stick is a gimmick?
>>319707548
Which is why they'll repeat what they did with the wii u, and announce the NX at e3 next year while releasing it in 2017
>>319685651
It looks retarded. With these two pentagon pads in the way there's little place for touch screen buttons.

Hey fuck stick, adding buttons to a block you hold in your hands composed entirely of buttons isn't a gimmick. Analog sticks were definitively a gimmick intended to enhance control, but unlike motion controls, they actually succeeded in providing the player with an intuitive, precise way to control in three dimensions, in a way that could not be easier done with any other tool.
The Gamecube's GBA compatibility is restricted to peripheral use, only some games used it as an additional feature, and incredibly few used it as the primary means of play.
The Wii's motion control is the whole reason people are tired of this. It was imprecise. The only thing it had the CAPACITY to excel at over analog sticks was IR pointing, and even that was rarely used properly. Every other facet of the motion controls made whatever game you were playing worse. This being realized later with gyro in controllers and handhelds isn't any better, especially considering gyro control doesn't accomplish the one adequate thing the Wii Remote provided. Every other console uses motion controls, but as a SIDE thing, and theirs all suck shit too. Nobody likes motion controls.
Double screens on the DS, 3DS, and Wii U is fine. It doesn't actively hinder your ability to play games like motion controls, but it's rarely enhanced anything significantly, and in the case of the Wii U, raised the price of the console way too high for what it was, especially when the Wii U is the double-screened nintendo system that utilizes the second screen the absolute least.
>>319707139
You can't leave people hanging for that long anymore. The traditional console life cycle, from announcement to replacement, is going to die very soon.
Nintendo certainly can release the NX in 2016 if they reveal it early next year and show off the launch window games at E3.

the only things good about it was the ridiculous battery and the copypasted shape
