It seems some naughty (but awesome) dev has leaked some pics of the Wii U controller onto Twitter. Their account was deleted but the pictures are still alive! There are now analogue sticks on the controller instead of circle pads and some buttons have been moved around. There are also some weird square buttons. The Wii U logo is also shown on the front now. Still looks good to me! Old design for comparison.

I notice that the analog sticks have been moved closer to the sides. Might have been necessary for shorter thumbs trying to reach. The +/- buttons have been moved to the right of the screen. Yeah...what's up with those squares? Maybe they'll be gone for the retail version. They're not labeled.
The good thing for going with the sticks instead of the pads is that they'll be more responsive in shooter games. Plus this allows the sticks to be clickable. Nice move Nintendo.
