New pictures of Nintendo NX controller leak online

Last week, an image showcasing the controller for Nintendo's upcoming home console, the NX. The design of the allegedly leaked picture matched a patent for a handheld device that used free-form display that Nintendo had filed in December.

The new images show what appears to be the controller's screen at a much better angle and in a new color, suggesting that the the NX could release in two different colors: white and black. The previously leaked image showed not only a similar cotnroller, but the device's screen playing the Unreal Engine 4 demo.

The cotnroller was detailed to feature the following by the individual who leaked the picture on Reddit:

• 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.
• 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom

The picture doesn't appear to be photoshopped. It's expected to get controller handles on the back based off of the patent, but we have yet to see them. Perhaps the screen can double as VR with the Samsung VR headset.
