Wii U Controllers-Here's an Alternative

I forgot who was talking about dropping $150 on a Wii U controller (ouch), but I just saw this article today about Nintendo making a "Pro Controller" for the system that is priced at $50.

My thoughts, it's a smart alternative, but I don't understand why they decided to make it in a glossy plastic that your hands will slip on or why they reversed the buttons to be under the joysticks. If you look at most other controllers, the buttons are above the joystick, not under.

So whoever's getting the Wii U, and you want to play multiplayer for $100 cheaper, here's your answer.
