Doesn't make sense, the usual sort of mock up which looks good but is impractical. Two joysticks are used for movement of the character and camera. How the hell do you select what else pops up? More to the point, a games console is to play on a TV, not on a tiny pad, making the entire concept utterly redundant. 

Concept isn't 'utterly redundant' - it's the virtue of offscreen and/or asymmetric gameplay  (a la Zombi U)

As for the buttons, the Tactus technology should help the buttons be easy to find

Further, it's possible to use a touchscreen controller while looking at the TV. It just takes a level of skill many gamers just haven't yet bothered to master.

And how well has offscreen gameplay served the Wii U??

Also with buttons being onscreen, it'll hide parts of the screen which would be incredibly annoying.
