Nintendo NX release date and spec rumors: Leaked controller looks rectangular and lengthy?

Nintendo NX has been a subject of many rumors circulating all over the Internet. Although Nintendo has yet to confirm the development of the highly anticipated console, reports about its release date and specs have already hit several news websites. According to the new buzz, the device's controller has been leaked, along with its supposed release date.
The alleged leaked footage of the console's controller came from a certain Reddit user, stimpak_vendor. The tipster claimed to be someone who is a part of the Nintendo team currently working on the development of the upcoming console. However, the user could not reveal the name of the company, which is why critics are saying to take this new information with a grain of salt.
Nintendo has not made any official comment with regard to the new leak, but fans have reason to believe that this is a part of a ploy to hype up the release of the new NX.
Meanwhile, the source describes the new controller as rectangular and lengthy. The tipster added that it carries a 1080p display technology. The new controller also appears to be more powerful than the current PlayStation 4. If rumors prove to be true, Nintendo's intention is definitely to take the top spot of the competition in the ongoing console war between major manufacturers.
According to the leaker, the device is not yet ready as development is still ongoing. However, numerous rumors have already emerged that the device will certainly come out in June 2016. There are also speculations that 2017 is far more believable since the company has yet to announce the Nintendo NX up until now.
Meanwhile, Game Rant reported that the new NX may need a solid title to carry its release. The website believes that the upcoming "Pokémon" release sounds just right for NX.
Fans have been waiting for quite some time now for an official word from the company; however, Nintendo has been mum about its latest project.
