Wii U controller redesign leaked online

For a brief moment this picture was leaked onto twitter before being taken down. Of course nothing on the internet is ever really erased so hear it is.

As you can see there are a couple changes to this version of the controller compared to the one from E3 2011.

The first thing that sticks out (okay I'm sorry about that pun) are the analog sticks which have replaced the slide pads also found in the 3DS. Now personally I like the slide pads on my 3DS but there's one problem with them, they don't click. For a handheld that's fine but for console games (especially shooters) R3 and L3 are essential.
