That's just bull. Don't turn this discussion into something absurd with such arguments. SNES controller looks nothing like the current controllers. The X-box controller and GCN controller are two different controllers, the shape is totally different, so it really doesn't matter which one was revealed first. They were different. The X-box 360 controller is also different from the mentioned two, it's an evolution of the first MS build, but still distinctly different. The new Wii U Pro Controller looks like a copy of the X-box 360 controller. It's just EXACTLY the same shape. It's not an evolution of GCN pad, it's just a copy of the MS product and showing old controllers from 20 years ago without analog sticks and half the buttons is just stupid. Look at this.
This was evolution:

This is copying:

I see nothing in the Wii U controller resembling the Nintendo tradition. Just a copy of a succesful MS product and I think it's a disappointment and a bit of a humiliation. Nintendo simply can do better than this.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
