E3 2011: Nintendo Wii U Controller Hands-On

To put it simply, Nintendo's Wii U controller is large and in charge. The controller measures into a 7x10-inch rectangle, making it, unquestionably, the biggest controller in recent gaming history.

Its defining feature, aside from its size, is a beautiful 6.2-inch touch screen. The controller also has plenty of conventional controls. Two circle pads act like analog sticks on either side. On the left, you'll find a D pad; on the right, you'll find A, B, X, and Y buttons. Along the top, you'll find two shoulder buttons and two additional triggers on the back. Running along the bottom of the controller are the usual system buttons: start, select, home, and power.
