Check the spoiler tag for the bigger image lol.

Well, that's one of the problems gone. I wonder if they'll be clickable too, would be nice.

Edit: They've also moved the button placement slightly.

You can see that the old controller had the start/select buttons on the bottom next to the home button -- now they're on the right side.

No word yet - but I figure they should considering Nintendo is trying to get more dev support and it'd just be easier.

circle pads worked well on 3DS and sure they will work well also. Nothing to be to concerned about really.

This is fantastic news if the rumor is true, I hated the idea of circle pad nubs instead of proper analog sticks.

Meh, analog sticks are outdated. They haven't really progressed since the N64 pad and first DualShock. How sad is that? You can't do precision aiming on them and most games these days are first-person shooters.

I'm glad because it takes a while to adjust to the 3DS slider, but a regular stick is much easier. Great news.

I don't really care, I think the sliding pad on the 3DS is pretty cool so either would've been fine with me.

The circle pad is great for a handheld and short bursts, but it'd be annoying to play games with that in long sessions - plus they need to be clickable if Nintendo wants to get third parties on board.

Nice controller with screen. It is a brick-like, regardless if its good or not.
Now lets see some proper hardware spec and more in-game footage.

I actually think the best console controller would be the Sony analog joystick:

Too bad it's only a part of history now.

it's visually horrifying, but infinitely more practical, so i guess i approve :P i'm just worried if placement and size will be comfortable, both for the analogs and the buttons.

It's not pikmin that got me hyped it's the MP player games. I play a lot of local MP with the family. The problem is a person can always cheat by looking above. I think we are going to see a lot of new style MP games come out because of the controller. Which will have more with one person setting up traps well another players works his way though the game or match.

No, based on patents that showed off the new analog - it's smaller.

I'm really interested to see that too. Find Mii looked awesome from last E3, the potential is endless.

kewl. i still have 2 complaints though (its SW...im supposed to complain :P) 1) in fariness its hard to say how itll actually feel without using it but the position of the buttons and stick on the right hand side just seem wrong. i would prefer to see the stick move down to the buttons and the buttons moved up to the stick. 2) there is still too much padding around the screen. there is always going to be some to have the sticks and buttons but it looks like some of that could be cut off. it looks like the edge of the touch screen will be barely accessible while holding the screen with 2 hands at the mo. though maybe i just imagine the controller is bigger than it actually is :P. i wonder what the square things beside the power button and below the dpad are? overall though looking good.

Probably won't be a brick. We'll have to wait and see.

How many "action games" will actually make good use of the touch screen tho? It would be perfect for RTS and point-and-click adventures but will the other type of games follow? I'd rather aim with the the stylus than with the analog stick (analog stick should be for movement only).

I expect most games to display inventory and/or the game world's map on the controller's screen. In CoD the screen could be used once someone activates a UAV and if a counter UAV is activated the screen would blank out for a certain amount of time.
