Wii U Controller Redesign Leaked?
This twitter image does not very add up to what we currently know…
While not exactly 3DS news, Nintendo’s new home console has observed an exciting development lately: A QA tester at LEGO developer Traveller’s Tales posted an image (now removed) of an apparent controller redesign to twitter on Saturday.
Although this is not confirmed, it is more likely to be a gaffe on the QA tester’s element than a fake. Personnel of game studios don’t usually go about posting fake images connected to the businesses they perform with for a living. Apart from, it is not uncommon for elements of a console – or any electronic item – to go via redesigns before launch keep in mind the Playstation 3′s original controller? That looked far more at house on Batman’s belt than in anyone’s hands.
The image shows a number of changes from what we saw at final year’s E3, the most notable getting the removal of the 3DS-like circle pads and the addition of the far more robust analogue sticks. I doubt any individual will argue with that certain revision. You might also notice that the + and – buttons have been moved from the bottom of the screen to the proper – a alter likely brought on by testing – and the addition of two new, unlabelled buttons on the bottom and left side of the screen.
In much more minor elements, it looks like the controller will be charged through a related cable to the 3DS as there’s a very familiar searching lead sticking out of the top. A Wii U logo has also been added on the bottom left corner of the controller.

The patent describes this technologies with a UFO displayed on the television as an example. The player makes use of the Wiimote to grab the object and take it away from an enemy, presumably some huge UFO mothership with its personal Wiimote on the other side of the Tv.
