Leaked photo reveals new analog sticks.
A new photo indicates that Nintendo has redesigned the controller for Wii U. In a photo tweeted by a QA tester at Telltale Games, Wii U’s tablet controller appears to have proper analog sticks in place of the sliders shown during E3 2011.

Comparing the image to the controller shown last year, it also appears that Nintendo has relocated the plus and minus buttons to the right side of the tablet and centered the microphone. A Wii U logo has also been added to the bottom left

The initial controller model was met with a bit of criticism for not including proper analog sticks, a topic that we wrote about during last year's show. While it appears Nintendo was listening, keep in mind that the image shown by the Telltale employee is likely a development unit and doesn’t necessarily indicate what we’ll see in the final retail controller.
Nintendo has confirmed in the past that we’ll see Wii U in “final form” at E3 2012, and with just over two weeks to go until the show, you can expect many more details to come very soon.
