Gamers put their heads together to solve the case of the rumored NX controller

The Internet is like Inspector Gadget. It thinks it’s really great at solving mysteries, but most of the time it’s stumbling around like a moron while some faceless dude keeps messing with it.

Today, the sleuths of the Web have come together to figure out the legitimacy of an image that allegedly features a prototype controller for Nintendo’s upcoming NX console. I don’t know if this is real, and Nintendo’s not saying. My gut reaction is that it’s a hoax, but that’s not based on a lot of concrete proof. But if it’s evidence you want, oh, boy, the Internet has your back. Gamers from around the Internet have taken to forums and message boards to share their theories and jokes (mostly jokes) about this purported leak.
