It’s a new day, so of course a new NX rumor is making the rounds. This one is actually looking more legitimate than previous picture leaks though, as we’ll soon see – reservations still abound, of course. The source is a user on Reddit named perkele37. Nothing outside of these images and details has been shared by Perkele on Reddit, which does not immediately bode well for his trustworthiness. He shared two images – one of which is above. The other you can see below:

Clarifying that this was the controller unit for the console, he added it’s from a dev-kit, so it’s not the final design. Additionally he said that:

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.

Haptic feedback is feels like Apples ‘taptic’ engine. Not like regular rumble.

So, why is this believable? First of all, it’s absurdly similar to another rumor from a separate source showing a photo of an alleged NX controller that made the rounds last week. As you can see, they look very similar. Most of the internet assumed the original rumor was blowing smoke, but these new pictures – of much higher quality – add legitimacy to the claims that this is the NX’s current controller.

Also keep in mind that these pictures both line up with a patent that Nintendo themselves have authorized late last year.

Finally, Game Informer’s Editor In Chief Andy McNamara said on Twitter that these leaked images line up with what his sources say about the NX’s controller.

I had heard that the NX wouldn’t have face buttons, so the leaked pictures match what I was told but was unable to confirm. — Andy McNamara (@GI_AndyMc) March 23, 2016

I am not saying the pictures are real, I am saying they match information I had but couldn’t confirm. To be clear, nothing confirmed. — Andy McNamara (@GI_AndyMc) March 23, 2016

So why could it not be true? There is certainly the possibility that it has been 3D printed, is a product unrelated to Nintendo, or has otherwise been specifically created. It could be that these have been made to line up with the original patent, in order to make them seem more trustworthy. Especially worth noting is that we have not seen the controller turned on, proving that it actually works; the original picture just had what appeared to be a poorly slapped on graphic. Either way, it’s never smart to assume a rumor is absolutely true. Even if this one does seem likely, we don’t know who the source is, and nothing has been confirmed by Nintendo. As always with Nintendo rumors nowadays, take this with a big grain of salt.
