Images Of The Rumored Nintendo NX Controller Appear, Called Out As Fake

Images have appeared on Reddit that are supposed the Nintendo NX controller. They follow the existing images we have seen so from the patent that Nintendo had previously issued. Details including the screen shots:
  • Only the upper ‘nubs’ of the sticks move. The bottom part is static (kind of like the circle pad, but it moves along the bottom ‘sphere’.
  • The rollers on the top feel and look pretty much identical to a mouse scroll-wheel. Though I do don’t believe this will be the final design.
  • 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom
  • Haptic feedback is feels like Apples ‘taptic’ engine. Not like regular rumble.

However the controller has since been called out as fake by a Nintendo of Europe Employee. according to Liam Robertson on Twitter, he has a “friend”  at Nintendo of Europe saying that the pictures of the NX controller are “completely fake”. With any tech rumor you have to take it with a gain of salt. We’ll have to wait and see for Nintendo to officially announce the Nintendo NX.
