FreeBooteR69 ( @FreeBooteR69@kbin.social ) 53•11 months agoMissing the track pads, total garbage.
I agree. The article claims this mockup has better “trackpads”, but I think they’re just referring to the thumbsticks.
Hyacathusarullistad ( @Hyacathusarullistad@kbin.social ) 10•11 months agoNah, I think the article and the image are both AI generated, so the “author” of the article really has no idea what the image actually looks like.
The article could be, but the images definitely aren’t.
thatsTheCatch ( @thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz ) 50•11 months agoThis reminds me of the XBOX 720 memes from back in the day where the console was a sphere or some shit

Firestorm Druid ( @v4ld1z@lemmy.zip ) English5•11 months agoFunny to see that it’s turned out be a simple geometrical shape after all but just a little… edgier.
Jordan Lund ( @jordanlund@lemmy.one ) English41•11 months agoPlease don’t feed bullshit designs like this oxygen. It’s bad enough seeing all the “PS5 Pro” and “Switch 2” articles.
BarqsHasBite ( @someguy3@lemmy.ca ) English2•11 months agoSwitch 2 was officially announced though.
Jordan Lund ( @jordanlund@lemmy.one ) English5•11 months agoNo, it wasn’t.

“Nintendo has not formally announced its next console, and has effectively ruled out releasing one anytime prior to April 1, 2024. The company said earlier this year that it wants to bolster Switch sales with new games and add-on content.”
BarqsHasBite ( @someguy3@lemmy.ca ) English2•11 months agoI guess official wasn’t the right choice of words, but there’s enough info and dev kits going out means it’s not speculation anymore.
Jordan Lund ( @jordanlund@lemmy.one ) English2•11 months agoIt’s all a lot of “my uncle works at Nintendo and…” Even the stuff about dev kits going out is all sillyness and nonsense.
bionicjoey ( @bionicjoey@lemmy.ca ) 36•11 months agoNo trackpads = no thanks
Also why does the screen jut out like that?

I knew it reminded me something, you’re exactly right. Recolor it in leappad colors and it would fit right in.
Altima NEO ( @altima_neo@lemmy.zip ) English18•11 months agoWhy is it upside down?
That pad and buttons look painful.
This has got to be rage bait
Overzeetop ( @Overzeetop@sopuli.xyz ) 3•11 months agoMy wrists are sore just looking at that shape.
Dangdoggo ( @Dangdoggo@kbin.social ) 18•11 months agoTruly awful concept tbh, the shape is awful the screen makes no sense superfluous lights. Just wretched.
Dudewitbow ( @dudewitbow@lemmy.ml ) 18•11 months agoThis design is dumber than that one rounded boomerang ps3 prototype controller

dan ( @dan@lemm.ee ) English5•11 months agoI had one. Those controllers were incredibly cheap and plasticky.
GrishAix ( @Grishaix@feddit.de ) 3•11 months agoNot only the controller. I always had to put something heavy on the toploader or the CDs wouldn’t load properly.
HeavyRaptor ( @HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip ) English17•11 months agoWhere are the touch pads? Are they secret? Are they safe?

soulsource ( @soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de ) English12•11 months agoCool! It even has an unintentionally belly-operated off-button!
(Sorry, but this design looks like a UX nightmare. The Sticks feel barely reachable, the buttons on the bottom will be touched unintentionally, the shoulder pads aren’t clearly separated, the ABXY buttons are way too small, the speaker seems to be mono,… The list of shortcomings could go on forever…)
CurlyWurlies4All ( @CurlyWurlies4All@prxs.site ) English11•11 months agoI love this shit. They’re always so wrong but such fun designs. I wish I could find pictures of the old PS3 and Xbox 720 concepts that people were paying back in the day.
