It was unveiled at the 2005 Tokyo Game Show.[1] The design of the controller changed a significant amount from it's reveal to the final product. The joystick initially shown on the controller was much more similar to the one on the GameCube, and the two shoulder buttons, formerly named Z1 and Z2, had been reshaped and renamed. The top shoulder button was renamed to the C button and was much smaller and more circular. The lower rectangular shoulder button was renamed to the Z button.
