13 THINGS THAT MIGHT'VE INSPIRED THE NINTENDO NX CONTROLLER

Look at this thing. What is it? Please... what is this thing? We must know.

Nobody seems to be able to agree whether this image, which leaked on Reddit a few days ago, shows a prototype of the new Nintendo NX controller - a touch-screen ellipse, with two funny nubs, and virtual buttons that offer haptic feedback - or a horrible lie, perpetrated by a lying liar.

Nevertheless, the device - be it real or fake - would concur with images of a controller design patented by Nintendo, which leaked last December. If this is the design that Nintendo's going for with its NX controller, the question remains: what inspired it? Digitiser2000 has some suggestions (for you).

Damminit! You got me all excited my father might actually have died. He's still alive, keeping the tobacco industry in business.

It'says shame the controller turned out to be a fake. Whilst it looked uncomfortable, the screen itself, along with the funny shoulder buttons and touch screen looked genuinely exciting.

The typical controller designs used by Sony and Microsoft need to change. They're as stale as the industry itself.

I think this funny incident is revealing.

It demonstrates that the public have finally accepted that "Nintendo hates you" and would fail to learn from past failures! Everyone expects Nintendo to f*** it up these days.

I also loved the "CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY" sticker. Reminded me of movies like Crimson Tide where the Submarine Base is the movie studio parking lot with a sign saying "SUBMARINE BASE" on it.

I assume Area 51 has a sign saying SUPER SECRET UFO BASE on the fence too.

That sticker was the give away for me!

@Dangerous Dave - the current controller designs are as a result of 40 years worth of evolution and competition. They didn't reach their current form by accident. As Nintendo have learned, even when you have a good philosophy behind the change, it is fraught with peril. The mistake they made was changing the design of the controllers without it being warranted by a significant change in the nature of the games being played - e.g. as was the case with the analogue stick and the move to 3D worlds.

As far as gaming on a two dimensional screen is concerned, I believe that the controllers close to the peak of their evolution and won't change significantly going forward aside from minor tweaks like the PS4's touch pad.

Any significant changes to the design will likely only come about due to the nature of games themselves changing. E.g. VR.

I dunno.... I can see a case for having a touchscreen on the controller. Think the PS4's touchpad but a screen. This could be used for additional controls or simply show in-game information. Of course it'll also be useful as a frigging keyboard (if it comes with a pen, as the buttons will be small).
