It's shaped like a controller, but it also has two controller ports, so you can play while you play.
According to CVG's (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/297767/news/snes-handheld-console-coming-this-year/?cid=OTC-RSS&attr=CVG-General-RSS) report on the device, it has a 3.5" screen, a rechargeable battery that runs for about five-and-a-half hours, and AV out for use on real TVs. It's due for launch in America this summer. It might look a bit silly with the huge cartridge sticking out, but Sega got away with pretty much the same thing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Nomad). Officially.
