    The more I study the image, the more I think this is a fake. I know the image was studied to see if it was photoshopped, and the verdict was minimally, though it was hard to tell because it had been saved so many times, which is a red flag right away.

    Also, the image on the screen is not cropped to fit the screen.

    Now, this could just be perspective, but the white bottom of the controller does not appear to be perfectly in line with the image on the screen. It looks to be at a slight angle. Again, this could just be perspective.


    EDIT: Yup. It's fake. There's an image of ET in the UE4 demo image.

    Could be. Could be a prototype also.

    Most think it's real due to the guy confirming it has had real leaks in the past. He was the one who leaked all those Nx controller patients to start with and he leaked the xbox 360 controller. Folks called it fake and photoshop and he got banned from a site only to find out it was real!

    Oops.

    Here we go again. It could be fake but it looks more and more real due to the guy saying it is!

    Plus folks who know the guy says he never lies about these things.

    Umm that's the proof it's real. It's running the unreal tech demo.

    Didn't know ET was in that. Even if that's not ET right there, though I think whoever faked this tossed it in for laughs, there's no proof in this image that this is running anything.

    HE TELL ME!!!!
    Maybe he's not. Maybe Nintendo is punking him to confirm whether he's the leak. The way you find a mole is to feed each suspect a different piece of bogus info and see which unique fake leaks into the wild.
    No, it's running a doctored screenshot of the Unreal tech demo.

    Could be. Look at the smash bros rayman "leak". Anything can be faked today. The et thing looks like a et doll on the desk shining off the controller.

    Tell you the truth I hope it's fake. I just want a classic game controller like xbox and ps4 to play my Mario and Zelda games.

    I'm so tired of gimmicks. I just want a old fashioned controller!

    Come on Nintendo!

    I don't even want a PS4 controller. I like the PS3 controller more. At least it's more durable :D

    The perspective is all wrong for that. Someone would have to be holding it up in the air, facing down toward the controller.

    I'll be happy if it's fake. Again I just want a classic controller.

    Machina thinks it's fake also.

    Edit-i'm not sure it's real anymore myself. Blast it E3 get here so we can end these "leaks". Then again it gives us something to talk about.

    Sorry dude, but you posted this in the wrong thread.

    On topic, I think I'm just going to get a PS4 if the NX's controller turns out anything like this, or maybe build a good PC (Probably my better option). Either way, I was with Nintendo during the Wii U's life-cycle, but I have a feeling not very many people are going to like a controller like this, if the design actually comes to fruition. I feel like it's trying to replicate the design some games use for controls on phones (Minecraft: Pocket Edition springs to mind), and making an entire controller based on that concept. Plus, I feel like the actual design is what's going to end up coming with the console, considering they made deals with Sharp.

    So if the leak is real Ubisoft is in trouble (like usually they are at all times)

    I really don't know what to say here. If this is what the NX controller is really going to look like, then I know for certain that a lot of people are going to have their jimmies rustled.

    All I ask for is a traditional controller. To have my controller be a tablet with two sticks doesn't inspire confidence.

    You mean the controllers that were gimmicky and stupid at the time of their creations? Like.. the D-pad? The usable analog stick? Rumble?
