Amazon's Android console is all but confirmed as leaked pics of a controller surface

Images of a game controller sporting the Amazon logo have leaked today from a document published by Brazilian regulatory agency ANATEL.

While we still don't have official confirmation from Amazon on its console-based plans, these pictures do seem to confirm that Amazon's rumoured Android-powered console is in the works.

As you can see for yourself in the image below, the Amazon controller has offset analogue sticks; a D-pad; and Xbox-style face and shoulder buttons.

At the bottom of the controller, there are also buttons for play/pause, rewind, and fast-forward. Presumably, you would use these to operate services such as Amazon Instant Video and Netflix.

Inside the ANATEL document, it's revealed that the Amazon controller is Bluetooth enabled and runs on two AA batteries. There is also a hardware battery indicator.

The controller was reportedly certified in November 2013. It's suggested in the ANATEL document that Amazon's console will run a forked version of the Android OS, just like the firm's Kindle tablets.

In a report in February, Amazon partners suggested that the giant online retailer may roll out its console in March 2014.
