The "leaker" confirmed the hoax himself, check the video for details on how it was done.



Someone claims Nintendo of Europe also confirmed the photos were a fake.

P.S. -- I won't say "I told you so"

The controller design totally did not look Nintendo-like so I didn't really care.

I'm more interested in what the NX controller actually looks like. The Editor in Chief of gameinformer told everyone that his sources had claimed the NX controller has no face buttons on social media in response to the leaks.

If it isn't this design but has no face buttons what is it?

Surely the sources would tell the Editor in Chief that the pictures are nothing but BS which makes me wonder if the sources are as trustworthy as the editor says.

... it's fake

i know, but i am sad the dude didn't include footage of how he made the second picture (which was more realistic) :C

however the video was a really good laugh

 

[dead pixel]

I think anybody with half a brain knew this was fake.

 

[MSearles]

I still think the Wii U will be dead by summer.

 

[pastaconsumer]

It didn't even look real

If he contacted the sources and they either confirmed or denied the pictures I'd assume it would be an article already.

A hoax? Couldn't the leaker have waited for April fools day? It's practically a week away.

 

[osaka35]

Oh thank his noodly appendages.

 

[Shubshub]

Pretty obvious from the beginning if you look at it, Something like that would of never gotten past concept stages and maybe basic mold creations

 

[funnystory]

which is the greatest NX news we've had in a while because that controller looked hideous af.

What's fucked up is that we thought it was even possible because nintendo has been disappointing. I don't see why they can't compete with microsoft and sony....Release a console 75% as strong as the ps5/xb1 and we will all be happy.....

 

[The Catboy]

Praise Lucifer! I knew he would pull through for me and make this a fake!

That's exactly what the NX is supposed to be according to rumors. But that's what annoys the crap out of me. all we have are rumors. literally nothing is confirmed right now.
We know more about the upcoming Pokemon games than about the NX that we know of since last year.

There is a God.

 

[anhminh]

I already know that was fake because it doesn't look like a donut.

 

[gudenau]

That was a nice render at the very least.

 

[DiscostewSM]

I had a feeling that it was fake, but I thought it was 3D-printed, when it was just a render.

I still think the Wii U will be dead by summer.

Not a chance. Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE sometime around summer and Zelda sometime around Christmas.

That controller didn't have any buttons on the face, they were joysticks!
Just like Shillary Rothole Clinton saying she never sent classified emails..... SMMFH!
I also wonder which zelda that was on the controller. The bottons around the joystick moving seamlessly around it while the whole world turns.
everything about that video has me wondering why someone would listen to ninty and take it down! Inside scoops make it to more people than you all are aware of.
