Gaming Scribblenauts GamePad faceplate up for pre-order on Amazon UK

EDIT: it's not the Scribblenauts faceplate... I misread the Wii U Daily post. £15 seems a bit much, anyway. Here's a pic of the Scribblenauts one, anyway:

One word... UGLY! I don't think I'll be bothering with faceplates, unless Club Nintendo get some cool limited editions.

Is that the Angry Brids special edition faceplate?

Cause it looks like it should be.

Yeah because people want their gaming buttons to be inside something rather then sticking out. This is why outy boobs get shown more than inny boobs.

wow! i never knew you could get faceplates.

Weirdest faceplate i've ever seen.

I can't help think this should be the front of a Scribblenauts tv.

I wonder if anyone would buy that if was such a tv.

Inny boobs sounds like it could lead to some serious medical complications as well.

But this does look rather ugly, I don't even see the appeal to faceplates for controllers. I mean it's a controller after all, it's not a handheld.

It's weird, it would have made more sense to have an existing faceplate on the GamePad with the buttons designed to stick out an additional few mm. Then, swapping to a new faceplate would keep the overall feel the same.
