Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai is back with another Famitsu column in this week’s magazine. This time around, Sakurai tackled a few questions from fans.

Here’s a summary of what was shared:

What’s better: printed or digital manuals?

Sakurai points out that he only reads manuals when he’s really stuck, so either way is fine. But for digital versions, it’d be better if they load up as fast as possible. (Note: Many people consider printed guides to be more convenient because they’re not located on the same screen).

Update 4: Liam Robertson has also chimed in and says that today’s image are fake.

Update 3: Another alleged photo of the controller:

Update 2: One theory floating around is that, if true, the leak could have come from Massive Entertainment / Ubisoft Massive.

Update: Here’s what Game Informer editor-in-chief Andy McNamara has to say about the situation:

Last week, an image appeared of what an insider was claiming to be the NX controller. We passed on that rumor, as we felt that there was not enough evidence to support the speculation. However, a separate person with alleged access to development hardware has posted two more photos which may back up the original claim.

Here are the photos shared by Reddit user perkele37:

And some unconfirmed tidbits perkele37 posted:

– 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

I’m not absolutely certain that what we’re seeing is the NX controller. If this is legitimate, it may not be the 100% final design. If nothing else, based on everything that’s out there, this may be worth discussing.

For reference, here’s last week’s photo:
