Looks like they dropped the 3DS style circle pad for GameCube style joysticks. Start and Select have been moved around. There's… something that looks like Apple's Home button below the D-Pad. And something "Green and White" sticking out of the controller.

In other news. Anyone remember the Wii Vitality sensor?

GAF's speculating the thing under the D-Pad is a marker for NFC usage.

As for the vitality sensor, I guess it never really got off the ground. A bit of a shame - you could've done some cool stuff with it.

It's not that it didn't get off the ground, it's more like they still haven't found how to release it, since they can't really release as it is shown on the E3 2009 pics (that thing you put your finger in). But I clearly remember a source over at NeoGaff saying the new Wii U dev kit (and therefore the new controler) included something totally unexpected in it... maybe it's the VS, as I doubt many people actually expect them. Maybe. Might be.
