controller patent, with schematics. Lots of different variations, not sure where this is going, but it doesn't look good!

So the controller is the handheld. Looks like the buttons are all trigger/bumper based with touch screen input as well. It's certainly interesting.

hey cool reminds me of when they said the DS wasn't the next Game Boy
Would be cool if they left the Wii U with an F-Zero title. Wishful thinking.
The VC is dismal - thought it would have carried over from the Wii.

Not surprised in the least Nintendo has proven once again that they are way off in their own world and don't give a fuck.

They are clearly going to hold off on Zelda if this is the real release schedule.
I also don't think they'll do dual platforms like they did with Twilight Princess for Gamecube and Wii.
This is going to shrink their 3rd party support even more.

No!
I was hoping to get another year with the Wii U
Why? So you can get 3 more games? I can certainly appreciate that people enjoy the Wii U (Mario Maker alone makes it worth owning) but even if they waited another year, you would get Zelda and what else...? Another Mario Party and some half-assed Mario sports game? They're not gonna put out a Metroid or any other major title for a system they won't be supporting 6 months later. The Wii U's done. If Nintendo's got games ready and lined up for the NX, put it out as soon as they're ready. 3rd parties aren't gonna make games for it anyway unless it's equivalent to the other consoles in both hardware and input.

That's what I keep saying on the Facebook game groups, but people keep freaking out telling me that no one knows for sure. It's obvious this is going to happen. I wouldn't even be surprised if the wii u gets shafted on Zelda this time to boost NX console sales. Nintendo is fucking evil.

About the controller patent, I just don't see how they think this is what the fans want. They need a system without a gimmicky controlled loaded with top Nintendo titles (Mario, Zelda, Metroid etc.) On the console side of things I am beyond done with them. I can't believe they are putting out another console already, but I guess they need to do something- at the risk of Sega-ing themselves.

I would love a snes style controller, with analog implemented, and a docked handheld. I could even deal with a Vita style handheld that acted as controller

Market share-wise, Nintendo can't hold a candle to Microsoft and Sony since the GC days so they're trying to fill the niches between console and PC gaming with the usual Mario and Zelda stuff, a combination of console and handheld gaming and a bit of wiggle-waggle thrown in for good measure. The new system will undoubtedly follow the same path because anything else would be suicidal for them. They've opened up a new clientele so it would be silly to go back to a standard system.
God, the world of video games became so fucking boring over the past 10 years... but that's prolly just me I guess.
