The squares are hatches. When you press a secret button, the hatches open and two small projectors are lifted out. Hologram controls are real, people!

If you guy's notice the cord that is plugged in the back of the controller is green and white.

The analog sticks are too far up it looks so weird.

I feel like they are in danger

Nintendo and Microsoft co-op confirmed?

I guess you're talking about that "I saw something green and white"

My Pros and Cons of the Possible New Controller Design

Pros

• Analog Sticks
• Bigger screen possible change in Resolution of Controller
• X,Y,B,A Buttons look well placed

Cons

• Controller looks too big now
• Select and Start buttons look oddly placed and was fine were it was in the previous design

I think the Select and Start button is actully better where it is now, it's easier to reach.

The +/- buttons are far better placed now, you can actually reach them without removing your hand from the Upad, which you had to do before.

The wideness is weird though. Wonder how it affects reaching the screen during gameplay.

I still prefer it where it was before because start and select aren't really used in games nowadays unless for a pause menu or something like that so it's not used competitively or anything so the change really doesn't do anything in my opinion.They probably should have left it where it was.

Trust me, when you get it you will thank Nintendo lol.

But what if it's a programmable duo now and not pre-set, like the black and white buttons were on the Xbox controller? Could come in handy for many types of games... but I seriously doubt the function of them has changed from the Wii.

Well I think the only time you will use the two analog sticks is in fps's and maybe tps. Most of the time, the shoulder buttons will be used the most so it will feel natural. It's when you start needing to use facebuttons and both analogs that it will feel weird. The controller is bigger I believe, but not by much. The best part of the controller for me is the fact that the face buttons are diagonally placed under the right analog instead of directly down so it feels more natural when moving my thumb and not needing to move my entire right hand.

I agree. Especially in situations where pausing right away is needed.

[KennGalaxy]

Analog sticks are a huge plus for me, I wish we could get triggers similar to the 360 ones, that would make this controller complete for me.

I think its great now, though one questions still is sitting in the back of my mind did they add pressure sensitive triggers?

you were beaten by 2 minutes.

Try not to get so excited you can't read the "Recent Threads" widget.


The square at the left is the NFC area. The square button next to Power, is interesting though.

At the time I pressed the "New topic" button, the other thread hadn't been created yet. I'm posting from my mobile, so I'm kinda slow.

On topic; the button next to the power button could be for syncing?

This is awesome! This is the last thing I thought I would see today!
Nintendo made the right move to make the circle pads analog sticks.

Am I the only one who thinks the "Wii U" logo on the controller should be colored like it usually is? (With the light blue.)
The "Home" button has a ring around it, I think it will light up blue sometimes.
The placement of "Start" and "Select" is better than where they were previously placed.
WHOA! That looks like the 3DS charger cord! It would be great to charge this controller with that.
What is that green and white plug in device?

I have completely no idea what those squares are.

Great news!
