Console maker Nintendo has recently filed a patent for a controller that has a full touchscreen across its face.
The design would allow for joysticks on the touchscreen face, but other front-facing buttons would simply be generated on the touchscreen itself.
Nintendo’s filing demonstrates the ways in which the potential controller could change to suit different games:
The filing goes on to say that the controller’s touchpad screen could either be LCD or OLED, and would be able to implement glasses-free 3D viewing like on the 3DS.
Is this a portion of Nintendo’s upcoming NX? No idea… but time will tell. We’ll keep you updated.
