New rumors concerning Nintendo NX are going around suggesting that gamers may hear more about the console before E3 2016. Photos showing depictions of the new Nintendo NX controller have also started leaking, igniting a significant buzz in online gaming forums.
Nintendo has already confirmed that there will be a new Nintendo Nx console, only that gamers do not know when. Recently, an image of its hypothetical controller was leaked online by a Redditor by the name Idriss2Dev, who claimed that the photo is indeed the official controller of the upcoming console.
If the image is to be relied on, it appears that it will arrive with an LCD or OLED display. It will as well come in an oval shape, which some Redditors have claimed will not cater for comfortable use especially for long periods of time.
"It looks too ugly and uncomfortable even for the crazy Nintendo of recent years. If it is real Nintendo has finally lost it," said a Redditor. Even as the news about this photo travels fast in gaming forums, many people believe that the image is fake while another renown Redditor commented that it was a big disappointment to traditional console gamers.
Meanwhile, hearsays of the new console have been rife with whispers suggesting that the device may come with a front-facing camera, speakers at the front, some onscreen buttons and a connector at the top for charging purposes. This is a significant shift from the additional controllers which gamers are used to.
More words on the streets insinuate that images of the new controller will change corresponding to the match what a player will be playing. The functionality could, therefore, enable the device to display several content sensitive buttons that change in response to the actions a gamer needs at the time.
There is not much known about the upcoming Nintendo NX. However, according to Nintendo Insider, gamers can expect more news about the console considering that the NX news may come before the E3 2016.
Until then, Nintendo NX fans can keep their eyes peeled for any further details. Watch more about the NX leakage here:
