An image of a redesigned Wii U controller has spread through the internets like a virus this past weekend, after a QA tester at UK studio Traveller's Tales got a bit too snap-happy with a development kit.
Comparing the image to the prototype Wii U controller at E3 2011 reveals a couple of interesting features. Instead of 3DS Circle Pads, dual analogue sticks have been placed on the tablet, which will no doubt make 3D gameplay a lot easier. The '+' and '-' menu buttons, previously next to the 'Home' button, have been moved underneath the main face buttons.
A couple of new mysterious buttons have also been added - including a square icon underneath the D-pad that looks similar to an iPhone's home button. We have to say, though, it's looking decidedly less sleek than its WIP predecessor - but we're hoping that's just because of the way the photo was taken. We like shiny white things. We're like gaming magpies.
Nintendo's E3 press conference should lift the Wii U cloak in its entirety, with the console launching in late 2012. Read SPOnG's hands-on with the device here.
