A new source exclusive to Dual Pixels, who also reached out this time for us on Reddit, has informed us to share this exciting news. Dual Pixels would like to publish what we label as a “leak” of the controllers of Nintendo’s next generation. Photographs of the leak, along as a link and photos to a patent found matching this, will be found below.
Follow me on Twitter for updates and questions. Also follow Dual Pixels on Facebook and Twitter for more rumors and leaks as we get them.
Update [3/20/16]: Nintendo has an official comment on the leak, and it is as follows: “Nintendo does not comment on rumors or speculation.”
Da fuq ?
Lol please don’t be real
Yeeeaaahhhhh, I’m a bit skeptical on this one.
Fake. Dual Pixels are feasting upon the NX hype! “you will say wow” yeah right
The fact that it looks exactly like the patent diagram makes this pretty hard to believe.
i would be more convinced if they took more pictures at diff angles, they clearly had time to do this too when they wrote the stupid message “you will say wow” so im assuming this is fake
“You will say wow!”. Can’t be anymore fake than that. But, knowing Nintendo, they’ll probably do some shit like this and alienate third parties and their user-base in the process.
How can you claim it was revealed exclusively (which you spelled wrong, by the way) to you when the information is on Reddit posted by “your source”? What happens when all the rumors you report are confirmed fake by the end of the year?
Sauce please. :0

Merci beaucoup.
All those people who exploit rumors and fakes by selling them a ‘leaks’ will never apologise. They have no manners, all they want is clickbait for ad-revenue.
+For Truth. Is why you gotta block the scummy sites so you don’t risk giving them ad revenue, download a ‘Block site’ add-on/extension for your browser.
It’s fake. The design doesn’t seem conventional.
Too much crap covering the screen, too small, buttons are all over the place and you can barely see the buttons over the screen.
If you were going to do an April fools joke then do it on April fools.
The screen emits no light, the cable connected the controller is in the wrong perspective and this controller breaks every rule of ergonomics. It’s very very fake.
Plus, the patent shows handles in the controller, this “leaked†one don’t has them.
it does, like grey casts on the top of it
Nope I see no handles which are shown in the patent.
Plus the patent is about patenting an idea, a technology – not a design. They could have drawn the sketch for the patent in any shape they wanted.
Uhuh. Because there’s never been a prototype that looked different from the sketch, right?
If this thing is supposed to be portable, it would make sense that the handles would be detachable, only to be used at home.
What are the rules?
1. The screen is clearly emitting light.
2. The charger cable looks like any other controller charger.
3. You clearly don’t know the first thing about ergonomics (I doubt you fully understand what it means).
4. You’re dismissing it as fake because you dislike the way it looks (don’t bother denying it) so just say so instead of making crap up and trying to make yourself look like a smarty pants.
And you don’t know the first thing about Photoshop you douche. The pic are fake, the pic on the controller is actually from a demo of the unreal engine, which you can find on ign. So before you give you’re forensic analysis of something you think is real and insulting someone trying using Google first, you Fucking asshole…..
Except that, these images have already been proven to NOT have been photoshopped. Nice try though. This is a prototype controller clearly. Doesn’t seem very “comfortable” but does seem elegant.
Lol…except they WERE photoshopped. How embarrassingly wrong are you at the moment right now. What made you think it was proven to NOT be photoshop. I would love to hear your reasons?
I’m gonna go ahead and say this is probably fake
I don’t know about this, it looks fake. The lighting on the screen doesn’t look consistent with the lighting on the controller and the analogue sticks look like they were photoshopped into there.
Also not to be an asshole but you misspelled “exclusively”.
Oh god no.
No handles like in the patent?
It could be a prototype.
I hope thats not real. Because it looks gay
So what makes you say this is a controller for a console?
The source doesn’t specify. And the patent(s) that this is based off of don’t specify either.
Actually, I take that back. The patent with the freeform display kind of makes it clear that it’s a standalone piece of hardware or in other words, a handheld.
I encourage you to actually look over the patent again. Unless you really want to believe that a controller will feature things like CPU and RAM.
Gotta love how the two images are exactly alike.
This is painfully fake and thank god because digital on-screen buttons is about as horrible an idea for a game controller as you can get.
With the proper haptics your brain won’t even notice.
I think the curvature of REAL buttons makes a difference. Don’t tell me we’re living in the matrix.
With proper haptics it would simulate the curvature of a real button. Again, with proper haptics your brain won’t even notice.
–You’re spot on. This may be the perfect elliptical / haptic idea if it in fact is complete and whole. Even the potential for feeling “texture” is possible
Here’s an example: https://www.disneyresearch.com/project/teslatouch/
And that’s why your finger will slide right off the button. This doesn’t create friction.
mark my words.
they use a literal cutting edge, approximately 8 inch, oval shaped, oled screen with the pixel density of 720 with an always active 3D mode and tactile touchscreen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo1n5CyCKr0
if this is what it turns out to be fuck yes. this will be the ultimate cutting edge gaming device and the controls will be modable to make it work perfectly.
Wow! It is FUGLY!
I hope it’s fake or an old controller type that they’ve ditched or Nintendo will forever stay a niche console. Looks too small and not comfortable, no tactile buttons, and even if they add them in after the screen will look stupid having all of these buttons block your view (or your thumbs).
Nintendo, your “innovations” are exactly what’s keeping you from becoming successful. The Wii phase is over, those people have moved on. The majority of kids aren’t interested in your games, only diehard fans like myself, and you’ve added yet another piece of hardware that will jack up the price that you won’t take advantage of and that third parties will avoid because they don’t want to have to make some unnecessary functionality because it’s a core part of your system. You’ve likely screwed yourself this gen. People are going to look at that controller and avoid it because it looks uncomfortable and the system probably costs as much if not more than the competition.
It is a obvious fake stop with that pointless rage.
this is looking like a failure in the making then.
I believe it to be true. Nintendo has used that sketch in some wii u controller prototype patents. Also Nintendo is known for developing all kinds of crazy prototypes before settling for a controller.
Gotta be fake..Their’s no handles like the patent shows under the hands. also the patent doesn’t show scroll wheels like the article says..shows buttons you press if you ask me. And why doesn’t the patent show all the stuff at the bottom like the speakers/camera/mic…And I have most of nintendo’s systems and none have speaker openings that big for something to fall into. And knowing nintendo their would be A big nintendo logo right on that big charge cable thing…where you can see it from a pic like this.
What’s happening in the upper left corner though? I might be wrong, but i’ve never seen a stylus like that before. And whatever metal thing is in the corner, I need to know what it is.
It’s probably the source’s art tablet. If he’s a game developer, it’s very likely. Hell, he could be lots of things and have an art tablet lying around, I’m a writer and I’ve got a Wacom Intuos lying next to me.
Looks like a rear view mirror 😛
the screen looks like a printed image pasted on the pastic xD, I say it’s “fake and gay”
Imagine it was real and had LGBT for buttons.
FAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKEEEE!!!!!!!!!!????????????
faker than a barbie doll.
It looks super uncomfortable.
It seems real to me, it looks exactly like the patents that were released a while ago and I mean exactly like it. I truly hope Nintendo doesn’t make the same mistake again and make this as the main controller. I hope they make it as a accessory for the console.
All the more reason it’s probably fake. That picture isn’t a blueprint for a planned controller, it’s a proof of concept scetch they submitted with the patent as an idea of what the patented idea MIGHT look like when implemented.
Looks fake and bisexual

Nintendo is taking us back to the future.
Lol
Great
haha 🙂
i just woke up the family laughing at this, that was amazing thinking.
Sorry, that’s fake as hell.
it doesnt even have face buttons.
WTF is wrong with you nintendo?
April first comes sooner and sooner every year.
Some people think this is real because the faker recreated the controller from the patent. (And because in today’s bad gaming journalism, every rumor is a “leak”)
But let me remind you that Nintendo did patent an idea, not a design. They could have also drawn it in box- or star-shape and it wouldn’t make no difference for what they wanted to achive: To claim an idea.
Like many more Nintendo patents, we will prabably never see those sketches becomming a real product.
Destructoid leaked this an hour before you. ‘Exclusive’ my ass
I really hope for the sake of Nintendo, that this is fake, because it looks so bad and uncomfortable. If this is their new controller, I’m officially done with Nintendo
If the whole front panel is a screen (bar the joy sticks.. ) wouldn’t this make this more like a phone?
I think the rotation is off on top pic. Why put the camera lens on the bottom? It would be on top, white cable would be on bottom.
cables to plug controllers in are almost alwys on the top, facing the console in front of you.
To give the player more screen to work with, the strip is at the bottom because looking up or forward is more important. Not saying its real. Just saying how it is in the pic makes the most sense
The Dreamcast controller had the cord on the bottom. And actually that controller was pretty tight, though a little clunky on the top.
If this is real than Im not interested sorry nintendo.
Fake and phony m9.
Oh God plz let this be fake. I hate this controller.
That’s fake,but if it’s real then nintendo have learned nothing from the wii u.
Gimmicks do not sell consoles.
So Wii sold horribly?
No the wii sold very well,but i’m not talking about the wii.
All i am saying is that controller like the gamepad is a gimmick,if that is the nx controller.Don’t get me wrong i loved the wii u,i bought two and the gamepad was a good controller but the screen was a gimmick.Nintendo could have put the money developing and manufacturing the gamepad into a more powerful wii u.I have owned every console nintendo have made.I just want a console that is more powerful than the ps4,that 3rd party developers are happy to make games for so i don’t have to keep buying 3 consoles per gen.
You claimed gimmicks don’t sell and Wii was a gimmick so…..
No,the wii was innovative,but even then the nun chuck used to get on my wick.
I guess i’m just a purist i like to play video games the traditional way,tv,console,joy pad.I’m sure the nx will be special,just a bit tired of the wait for the reveal.
It better have a bunch of buttons at the back, because touchscreen buttons are the absolute worst
worrying if after button smashing the thumbs won’t hurt…., and really hope it has at least 2 sets of trigger buttons (if not 3, for the future)
Fake as it gets. I noticed the sticks seem to be sticked,lol. They looked guled to the surface of the controller with no possibility of movement.
I have one of these already its called the Playstation Vita
Fake , Nintendo ultra, gameXplain, and even technobuffalo all are say this fake!
I see 5 things wrong with this Image
1. It almost is to perfect to the parent
2. It’s missing both shoulder buttons and handles
3. No physical buttons
4. It’s using an old unreal engine 4 image
5. Camera in wrong spot.
This is more like it.
Fake. That patent is from last year and this dude just made it semi-real to make it seem legit with that patent.
Faker then trump universality
Looks weird but that cable looks almost like a NES Four Score plug (only smaller).
Nintendo likes to mix and recycle their older designs…
Do you think it’s possible that the screen could still have buttons? Like a pressure sensitive spot with an extrusion for you to press like an actual button? I’d actually be down for that
looks fake look at the joystick outline its pixelated it looks photoshopped
I know Nintendo is capable to make this shit,my pray goes to the Nintendo familly..
