I don't know if this is legit or not, but it's detailed enough and long enough that it's getting me convinced.
Looks like Nintendo's patented some sort of customizable handheld system with tablet functionality.
Anybody think it's legit? I checked the main page on the site I got it from, but there wasn't an "About Us" link, and that seems fishy.

It really looks like what Nintendo did with early 3DS concepts (the D-Pad and Circle Pad were movable).

But it says it's from this past May.

Why would there ever be an instance in which you did not want a vital peripheral inside of your controller? Is there a reason to remove the D-pad? ?_?

I think I posted that before.

Yes, so that you could put it somewhere you found more comfortable.

Then why the fuck did it say May 2014 in the one I found?

Looks to me like they're all interchangeable? Hmm. Seems like a cash grab to get people to buy more peripherals. People are going to lose them just like they did styli in the original DS models because they kept sliding out of their holders.

Then again, many patents never go farther than the patent stage. They are ideas deposited "just in case it might prove useful later" and to avoid other stealing them. Thren again, with Nintendo's tendancy to recycle everything in some form or another, we might see these "anti-obsolescence devices" arrive in the near future.

Next Nintendo Direct is August 4th. It's dedicated to Hyrule Warriors. Pass the popcorn please, the flame war's coming to YouTube.

Rob has that gift of bringing awkward joy to a bad day when little else can.
Thank you, Rob.

I'll drink to that. Trying to use the D-pad for games where its use benefits far more than the circle pad is painful, even with small hands. That and it would have been AMAZING to have when I got Kid Icarus: Uprising. That game was not left hand friendly. >:[

Which is why customization is what the next Nintendo handheld needs. I mean come on, didn't it work for Dual Shocks 1-4?
