Maybe you should learn to check your facts, what the difference between inovation and rip off is, or at least how to spell and use proper grammar before you judge anybody else in the world. Anybody. Period.

Don't mind him, he is just your average troll. I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually mean any of it, and is just trolling for fun. I remember it was mentioned elsewhere he trolls on at least 4 other sites. :P (Wow, I sound like I am just stating random facts, but I can't think of anyway to make that sound better. :/)

Yeah people have found him on a bunch of other sites and he's quite possibly the worst troll we have here, mostly because he doesn't try, simply, its insulting. If you're going to troll, at least try.

Still looks terrible, why are the analog sticks still on top? Do they not realize this is a deal breaker for most gamers? Damn toy company gimmicks!

Could the mysterious square button be a placeholder that allows instantaneous switching between viewing the action on the screen and viewing it directly on the tablet controller??

I think that'd be named, Nintendo doesn't like having nameless buttons. I'm thinking like, some sort of sensor for Skylanders-type stuff.

You mean like what the new Rayman game does with it with the figurines? That would make sense, but i don't see why they would need a button to switch it on or off. I figured it would just be persistently on all the time.

Flaming analogue sticks above the buttons. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

The right stick is still wrong. It should be below the face buttons. It's not changing it up. It's being stupid.

First, Cooper spelled "here" wrong, the change with the placement of the analog stick is a good one, what's the little square box on the left side, and the Wii U name is sticking (unfortunately)

I don't know. This seems a little too convenient. Nintendo is notorious for keeping things hidden and we are supposed to believe that this guy was allowed to post this pic? If he did I seriously doubt he is still employed. I'm thinking Nintendo is keeping the physical change but the "Wii U" might just be a red herring.

no need for thanks. also you seemed to have left your canterlocks on. But i will give you credit. You guys were the first to post this tidbit of news. Also another thing i noticed is that 2 cables are coming out of it, and a button in between the power and battery button.

one of the cables appears to be connected to the Wii sensor bar.....

While it is an improvement I fail to see how this is going to be comfortable to use. Those buttons are so far below the right stick it seems like they would be a bitch to use.
