Literally, a new twist. It’s pretty much the same wireless controller, but with a D-pad that can be twisted to take the shape of a defined “plus,” and twisted back to give you the typical disc. Apparently, some people miss the classic plus shape that you’d normally see on Nintendos, although it seems strange that they’d even bother reworking it since players are more likely to use the left stick—not the D-pad—to move around games anyway. Oh, and they also redid the colors, dropping the red/green/blue/yellow colors on the ABXY buttons and painted them in different shades of gray. Nice touch,although the lack of colors could confuse newer players who still tend to look down at the controls. Video that demos the twisty button action after the break.
