New images of the much hyped Nintendo NX game machine were leaked on Reddit. The leaked image of an actual photo closely resembles the game system design which was featured on a patent filed by the Japanese company back in December 2015.

In the leaked patent, the device was pictured to be oval shaped with two analog sticks protruding on the left and right part of the display. Back in 2014, reports claim that Nintendo is working along with Sharp to use the latter's free form LCD technology. Although the reports did not specify that the two companies are working on a gaming system, some rumors claim that they are.

The recently leaked photos closely matched that physical description and illustrations on the leaked patent. While the authenticity of the leaked photo are still questioned, tech experts said that whoever created it went to great lengths in order to make it look legitimate, according to Wired.

While some people claim that the photo might be edited, a handful of believers claim said that the fact that there are multiple photos indicates that it was not done in Photoshop, according to Forbes.

The leaked photos also reveal that the gaming system has a port for 3.5mm headphones located at the bottom part. The user going by the Reddit handle perkele37 has yet to confirm how the images were obtained. A close check on the user's profile reveals that it is the first post the account on Reddit.

Speculations claim that the leaked photos only reveal the controller of the Nintendo NX and that the console itself was not pictured. The Reddit user also claims that the only upper "nubs" of the stick are movable. The user added that the system supports haptic feedback which feels just like Apple's "taptic" engine.

Nintendo has yet to comment about the leaked photograph. There are several debates whether the Nintendo NX will be a traditional console with controllers or a portable self-contained gaming machine.

Nintendo had teased the gaming community about the NX for several times. The company even hinted once that they plan to unveil the NX sometime this year. Although Nintendo has yet to confirm it, rumors claim that the company is planning to stage the announcement of the Nintendo NX at this year's E3 event in June.
