Not even the diehard drones want this to be real. I'm done with Nintendo if this is what the NX is

Who are you trying to troll you stupid fuck? better worry about that nintendildo in your ass.
>>331781074
>nintendildo
I just don't get this, at a conceptual level
Haptic feedback is ideal for tracking, not buttons. Why not put buttons on it and leave the "sticks" as trackpads that you could place virtually anywhere. Want to only use 1? Then only use one, and a second one isn't permanently obscuring the screen
This isn't just stupid. It's downright retarded
>>331780835
PLIZ DELETE THIS!!!
I actually think it looks cool.

Ah, here comes the same autist.
Face it, Nintendo is finished.
Theory: This is merely the handheld portion - you can dock it to the main hub and use and actual controller.
E3 can't come soon enough
>someone actually spent time making this fake garbage
>>331780091
Yeah, it's going to be great having my hands block the sides of the screen.
I really hope they have a Pro Controlleresque option.

Fuck Nintendo.
>>331780091
I'm mostly worried about the size. It looks not a whole lot bigger than a gameboy micro. Considering your hands will cover up the left and right portions of the screen, what you're left with as a viewing area isn't that big. Plus no buttons. What the fuck? Touch screen buttons are shit for anything except some casual trash
>>331781583
You are retarded. Gameplay will happen in the middle portion. The stuff close to the sticks is for touch buttons.
>>331781769
I thought that was a buttplug at first
>>331781440
>the actual controller is a buttplug you control with rectal twitches and fecal pressure
seems legit
>>331780091
This is gross.
>>331781890
>Gameplay will happen in the middle portion
What is the point of having additional screen real estate if you can't use it for anything useful? This was the biggest problem with the DS/3DS/Wii U split screen paradigm. Aside from the very, very rare game that utilized it in a meaningful fashion, it was mostly relegated to display menu-related data that would normally display simply by hitting the start button, which is not a huge hindrance. It's a bigger burden to have to look down and back up and constantly readjust your gaze.
If for the most part nothing useful will ever appear in the side areas, then they may as well not be there.
>>331781920
it is
>>331781074
>nintendildo
I would support this
This is it. We've reached the point where that disgusting minimalistic millenial design trend has overstepped its boundaries. This is a console designed solely to appeal to people who think that smartphones look cool on that basis alone.
>input devices on the screen itself
This is why I don't bother with phone games so why in the fuck would I buy a console for it? Call me weird but I like to see what I'm doing when I play vidya, strange huh? and even if all the action happens in the middle that's a small as fuck screen that will get demolished by finger prints regardless.
Fuck you Nintendo, you learned nothing from the Wii-U.

You know Nintendo does hardware upgrades all the time
>>331782992
ur gey lol
I'm not going to buy their new console, and only own a pc, so I have no bias here.
My biggest question is whether there will be input devices on the touchscreen, or plastic and extended off the touchscreen, and how they handle the size of the screen, which in essentiality is the controller.
Why would you want this as controller. The left and right side will be covered with your hands.
Your neck will hurt from looking at the screen.
And no buttons

>>331783594
That's a good point; to complicate it further, the bottom edge is tapered with a straight line. If I understood your broken english correctly, you may be right, it might just be treated as an W x H grid in memory and the extraneous pixels just aren't visible.
>>331780091
And it will have a 240p screen.
I have a hard time believing this will be it. One way or another this will work better than we think it will right now.
It has to....right?
>>331780091
wait, does the NX actually allow you to play a "Vita" version of the game on-the-go?
that's pretty fucking clever. Fuck the haters, it might be the first console I ever buy!

>>331783594
even if all this elliptical shit is not completely fake, rendering "wasted" pixels has been a non-issue since ~2000.
all you have to do is render a black silhouette at min z-depth, then draw the scene behind it.
Early Z-reject throws away all subsequent pixel draw requests that would end up behind the mask.

I don't think it's meant to be a main video screen. What if you program buttons the touchscreen that feel like actual buttons? Problem is the screen is too narrow for classic style layout.
>>331780091
What the hell? The sticks aren't even consistently sized. And if that's how they're supposed to be, the movement stick should definitely be larger than the camera stick.

They would be like Sony and Microsoft then.
The problem is that Nintendo now is automatically related to "gimmick" and "children games", those are the first words that pop in mind when Nintendo is mentioned. They would have to use the BEST GRAPHICS (which never were their focus to begin with) and surpass the other companies in every single stage to be able to compete with them.
Even Reggie said so. Nintendo can't survive if they do the same things as the others, they are "the company that does things differently" and everyone expects them to be so.
>>331780091
Honestly? It could be sorta cool if it had physical buttons.

>>331792532
Nintendo would be just fine - the reason they're up shit creek is due to not having hardware that third parties can easily develop for.
Look at it this way: out of Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, who has the strongest IPs? And so, if most third party titles could be played on all three consoles, do you think everyday gamers would rather have the console that plays Mario, or the console that plays Knack?
>>331795003
Problem is people that buy sony/microsoft don't want Mario.
>>331791704

>finally woke up from Nintendo's bullshit

>goes from a fuckin DILDO to a shitty tablet controller and then another shitty small screen controller
Nintendo is fuckin doomed.
>>331795278
Maybe, but these people do want COD/FIFA - perhaps even exclusively. For instance, I guarantee a good portion of PS4/XBone owners don't have a single first party title in their library.
IPs are Nintendo's strongest asset, if only because they are universally recognised by people who play and those who don't.
With the Wii, Nintendo required most gamers to buy a) a Wii for first party games and b) a PS3/360 to access the rest of the gaming world. This shit won't fly a second time - people want a most-games-for-your-money kinda deal, and aren't going to buy two or more consoles just to play an extra handful of games.
I know better than to believe leaks like this, but let me just say I've never wished for something not to be real this much in my life.
>>331780091
If this is real, I hate it. Why the fuck would you put the sticks in the screen. That's so intrusive. Your hands are going to cover the edges. Fucking retarded as all hell.
>>331780204
This. I'm done. They should have just given us our handheld/console all-in-one combo. That would have been a gimmick worth backing.
>>331790525

>>331790585

If they were really damage controlling, they'd be deleting this shit left and right
But they aren't
Is that a plate of broccoli?
>>331797279
Of course they could. This controller looks perfect for gimmicky "innovation" that Nintendo loves to force down our throats.
How long until Nintendo realizes that this force of innovation is killing them? And that's not to say they shouldn't innovate. they should, but in the right area. Save the innovation for the games themselves.
>>331780091
Why would you want to block part of the touchscreen with thumbsticks? It just doesn't make sense. The wiiu controller, although bulky, has logical button and screen placements.
You can't make this up
friendly reminder that Nintendo hasn't been good since the Gamecube
Does this mean a fight stick is a gimmick since it breaks the norm of a regular control gamepad? It's just a big box with 6 buttons and a stick.
>>331797804
>kotaku
>>331797643
Cause then it'd be true. We already saw the patent, it's likely this is a prototype they don't want to cause a shitstorm about.
>>331797450
Being successful isn't the point. The point is that the Wii taught fans which group Nintendo will target between its dedicated fans, and people with money. They targeted motion control grandmas and made money from it due to the Wii. If the same thing happens here, and mobile games swarm the NX, that's it. Its the end of them appealing to people that want games like "a real metroid" or stuff. They will pave over those people to lay the foundation of a company that makes mobile games the most.
>>331788541
I can't get over how it's just one giant touchscreen, with a little transparent plastic window covering the top half.
>>331797219
You never played a platformer on a touchscreen, right ?
>>331793770
Imagine what it would be like if what some people were discussing about the controller were true. Like if there's rocks you'll feel rocks, if there's fur you'll feel fur. Now if it was Senran Kagura if there's tiddies on screen you'd feel tiddies.

Cell phones, mobile games, mobile cell phone games, and touchscreens are what's popular in Japan and Nintendo is primarily a Japanese company.
They want to appeal to those audiences. And to children.

Casuals.
You just suck at games.
Virtual touchscreen controllers are the future.
Nintendo has become totally Teflon coated.
Nothing anyone does or says can hurt their fanbase. Ever since people like that fucking prick Observer and Reggie came around, Nintendo fans have changed. They're no longer an easy mark or an easy troll. They no longer get excited when people troll them.
They don't even care about the mainstream video game media. They simply follow Nintendo sites. They're like Apple now. And Nintendo fans are totally impervious to trolling.
Xbox kids also seem to ignore all trolling.
Who do we have left Sony bros? I guess we're going to have to pick fights with the PC kids. Right?

What is this from?
>>331800253
Because they know they can't compete with Microsoft and Sony. Knowing this they made the Wii/Wii U and now they're having to face Apple and all the iOS phone garbage. They have no idea what to do to make investors happy.
>>331800504
>>331800658
Why would anyone use this shit over regular buttons? What does it accomplish?
>>331800504
will it break as easy? Will it require more power?
You guys arent seeing the big picture here--you will get to customize your own controller! Any arrangement you want, as many or as little buttons as you want, in any size. Think of the possibilities! And dont tell me physical buttons are much better than digital, theyre the same shit once you get used to the placement. The only buttons that doesnt digitially work well are the analogue and shoulder buttons, which Nintendo covered. Nintendo has done it again with their innovation, and we'll be seeing a lot of copycats down the road, book it.
Sony and MS are finished. Its over.

customizable how exactly?
>>331801029
this, good thing it's not confirmed.
>>331800980
Can I customise the control to remove the fucking analogue sticks that are stuck inside the screen?
Can I customize the controller to not look like stewies fucking hed?
>>331801179
>I'm waiting patiently to see where it goes.
it'll cost a lot of money and also all roads should have somthing to give shadow or else you won't get to see the lights from the road. Could be useful for indoor parking lots
>>331799493
how far into your throat can you take nintendo's dick? I mean I'm a drone, I bought this piece of shit wiiu and the new 3ds, but this shit is unacceptable.
>>331800504
This looks like shit and you can clearly see the position of the bubbles before they inflate, eg. can't be dynamically positioned.

>This is the kind of glass that apparently can withstand 1000s of pounds of force
Ok, that's good and all, but what about when there's a collision and chunks of metal and plastic are being hurtled into the road? Even if it's like bulletproof glass or something, if the road gets cracked, that's it, you'd have to replace the entire fucking road.

Tempered glass with a pitted surface for grip, my nigga. A prototype was already built and they drove construction equipment over it.
>>331801360
>you'd have to replace the entire fucking road.
That's the nice part, they are paneled, so if it get damaged you only have to replace said panels as opposed to the whole road.
>>331801295
I agree. Personally I think it's more trouble than it's worth and it's just some people trying to shoehorn technology more into our country, but it's apparently gotten a decent grant from the US so like I said, I'll see where it goes.

>Sony new hardware
If you mean the PS4.2 or what ever that shit is called, we shall see. But we won't see a legit PS5 for at least 5 more years. The PS4 is selling too well, and Sony doesn't want to rock the boat with it by having rumors of a new console anytime soon.
>>331801295
>It'll cost a lot of money
This is the main problem with it. It is projected that it would cost 4.4 million dollars per mile of road.
>>331780091
This shitty 3D printed fake looks higher quality than the DS4.
Top kek.
>>331801667
>they are paneled
Ok, but what's to prevent water from getting between the panels, freezing, and then ruining the road? Or is this for southern states only?
>DS, 3DS, PS Vita and Wii U all had touch screens
>nobody liked any of them or used them for anything useful
>make new controller nothing but a touch screen
sasuga
>>331781440
my theory is that the controller is like some sort of touch pad, different games have different amount of buttons, when you load the controller, it "load" the buttons you have to click, you click on the area of the touch screen and its like you touched the button.
the up/down/left/right are still the old method, because how the hell would they be touch?
>>331801179
Even asphalt gets pulverized with how much shit goes on with roads. Plus all glass can scratch a lot easier, given its texture, which hinders LED visibility, to say nothing of the maintenance and upkeep of replacing all the fucking damage glass, LEDs, and other components that goes with it every X amount of years from wear and tear.
Basically anyone who put money into that solar roadways shit is a fucking idiot. Perhaps I can see it having uses, but it sure as shit is not going to be on our open roads. I can just imagine the egregious amount of money it would cost yearly to deal with the west coasts I-5 highway. Maybe in ritzy neighborhoods or some shit.
After thinking about this for most of the day, I'm pretty sure this specific one is fake but I have almost zero doubt the real one will be mostly identical, including lack of buttons. It just seems dumb enough for ninty to do it.

>SONY
I think you misspelled Nintendo
A technology like this will cost a lot of money. Anyone realizes this? A system with the power of a PS4 or more, a screen with flexible, haptic feedback screen and with the visual fidelity of a phone, the connectivity between all the parts.
I can easily see the console itself being $250 by itself. The controller itself should easily surpass $150.
Add in whatever charges Nintendo has for the hardware and for profit margins, and it's a $500 system.
>>331797219
Shit with minimal/vibrational feedback and flat screens isn't the future at all. Tactus Technology or something similar is what you need for proper flatscreen to replace a traditional controller, and even then it will be strictly worse for sometime (it would be squishy).
Coincidentally, it looks like they're working with Tactus on this:
http://nintendoenthusiast.com/news/tactus-technology-patents-discovered-related-to-nintendo-wii-u/
It least there will be buttons.
Godamn.... it's like.....this thread is too fucking retarded...... to know tech like this exists and will be used......
>>331801868
The panels are supposedly capable of self-heating, and would prevent the water from freezing.
>>331798670
I do agree. The internet is pure cancer when it comes to video games nowadays. Back in the Game Pro days and PSN days people would go apeshit about this while reading the magazine article about it. Idiots are just too spoiled nowadays.
>>331801951
asphalt is not glass, nor it either of those specially tempered glass.
>>331780949
>>ah yes, let us have these analogue sticks blocking the screen, not obtrusive at all
This. Anyone buying this is absolutely stupid. On screen touch controls are AWFUL but they would make more sense than adding analog sticks that would block visiuals.
That said, I'm still certain whatever they have is going to be terrible
>>331800063
It's true. It's completely fucking true.
You're mocked if you even talk about phone games here, but now that Nintendo's heading into their direction, suddenly all their problems don't matter as much.
>>331802194
I did think about this, which is one of the reasons I doubt its authenticity. Nintendo want people to buy the NX right? So why this controller that would cost so much?
>>331802273
I still... don't see... how that is more comfortable than your traditional controller...
>>331802273
Problem for me isn't that it exists already but that it might not feel right to use it compared to traditional buttons, especially for d-pad movement.
>>331802132
Q: How do I protect my panels from freezing?
A: Freeze protection is not needed in all locations. However, it only takes one freeze to ruin a solar panel. Two methods are commonly used:
A drainback system allows the panels to drain when the pump shuts off. The drainback method provides freeze protection as well as overheat protection. A drainback arrangement may require an additional tank for the water in the panels to drain back to. A drainback system requires more installation care to ensure the piping is sloped properly to the tank. Every inch of piping from the panel down must be properly sloped to ensure the water will gravity flow back down. An improper installation could result in a freeze break. Fewer components are needed to install a drainback system compared to a closed loop glycol system.
Pressurized glycol systems rely on a lower freezing point in the liquid to keep the panel and piping from freezing. To protect systems with glycol, yearly testing should be performed on the pH and freeze protection level of the fluid.
That sounds like a fuckton of maintenance and completely impractical.
>>331802062
Solar panels built into the roadway. LED markers for obstacles in the road around blind turns (keeping you from hitting a stalled car/stupid deer/etc), the panels would be capable of using some of the energy they generate to heat themselves and melt ice and snow on the road, reprogrammable lane markers so they don't have to be repainted.
Theoretically, if installed on all roadways it would exceed the United States' current electricity demands.
>>331781920
I thought it was some fancy vibrating egg.
>>331801295
>>331801753
One argument is that it'll also produce more jobs for America, which apparently we need? I'm politically ignorant, but I can't see job markets being too bad for here unless it's an extremely niche profession like marine biologist.
>>331801868
I don't think that would be a problem since they would either be too close together or the panels would be sealed off by the glass.
You niggas aren't looking at the biggest problem- the problem is it's solar powered, one of the most unreliable forms of conversational energy in the world.
>>331801951
From what I hear, it wouldn't be any more of a problem or frequency replacing regular asphalt roads. I think I read replacing the panels are supposed to be cheaper and easier though. As I said, I just can't see it working at current because it seems rather unnecessary, but who knows? Maybe it's look better in a few years once they find more ways to make it better.
>>331802062
Lights on the roads that can
>detect things and light up to alert drivers at night (see picture of deer in road above)
>update roadway signs frequently, such as "construction ahead"
There were some others but I forget.
>>331802319
So you'd have a solar-paneled road stretching miles and miles, and all of it would need to be heated? That sounds like a completely unfeasible idea unless the concept of cost is abolished.
>>331801305
I am not. I am just making an unbiased opinion on nintendo's new system that hasn't even been announced and everyone is basing facts off of this "leak."
I haven't bought a nintendo console since N64. I only have a nintendo 3ds.
>>331802554
>>331802598
>muh tradisionalis!
Go play Nes you fucking losers.
>>331802769
no, they are self heating, they produce thier own heat. But not too much heat where it would be a problem. I hear leftover energy could be harvested and used to power other things or used as a backup reserve.
>>331802621
>>331802721
Those benefits don't outweigh the potential issues and costs in my opinion.
Sounds dumb as fuck.
>>331802598
We've moved on from one set of peripherals to another before.

>Im just gunna google up stuff for solar panels and say it applies, I'm so smart!
>>331802062

>>331802621
Massively inefficient to put a static solar panel pointed straight up.
Bad road surface for actually driving on.
Dirt and scratching from driving will cause it to get worse over time.
Super expensive while being worse compared to normal road surfaces.
The actual solution would be angled solar roofing over all the roads.
>>331802775
>Go play Nes you fucking losers.
You mean an actually good system with a good controller unlke the NX?
>>331799757
dees niggas taking video games seriously
lmao i shake my head at you F A M
>>331802868
Ok, but these electronics would have to work in freezing temperatures with no source of sunlight for potentially a week at a time. Not to mention this shit also has to be fireproof and corrosionproof, same thing with the sealing between the panels.
>>331780091
That's literally footage copy and pasted from E3 how are people falling for this
>>331802769
>So you'd have a solar-paneled road stretching miles and miles, and all of it would need to be heated?
Gosh you guys, where might we get the power to do some heating with these solar panels in the road.
Like, how are we gunna get power for that?
You know, our powered roads, how are we going to give them some power?
>>331802721
Some people argue against it for the same reason. Asphalt companies would essentially cease to be. No more lane painters. Smaller crews for road work. And road construction would no longer be a job for brainless neanderthals and would require a working brain.
>>331802769
As I said earlier in this thread, current estimates are 4.4 million dollars per mile of road. at approximately 3,980,817 miles of road in the US, it comes out to about 17 trillion dollars. It's a nice thought experiment and could be nice for a personal driveway or the parking lot of some particularly eco-conscious company, but for an entire road system it is entirely unfeasible, especially for a country as large as the US.
