Title: Chainsaw Controller Revealed
Post by: Jonnyboy117 on November 11, 2004, 09:40:37 PM
We've finally got a real picture of the Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller from NubyTech.  This one's a must-see.

Our import partners at Lik-Sang notified us that they finally have a picture and price for the crazy Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller.


Blood and all.


This hefty unit appears to have all the standard GameCube buttons, even though you hold it just like a real chainsaw, with one hand on the back and the other hand on the side.  The controller has its own audio chip to generate a realistic chainsaw sound while you play.  The controller's price has been set at $49.95 USD.  If you're interested in pre-ordering one, hit the link above.

$50 US for a controller that looks impossible to use, I'LL TAKE EIGHT. It should come with Doom 2 on GBA for the hell of it.

I expect this to say "BEST SELLER" on the box!

I'd almost be tempted to get it just to collect it, never realy intending to use it. it's such a strange thing and looks so nice that it's tempting.

Gamestop.com has it listed for $29.99.  I just looked, however, they don't have a picture with the listing.

"Designed with an actual Chainsaw lying in the middle of the R&D lab during brainstorming sessions, this massive sculpted controller comes with a built-in sound chip, imitating the roar of the powerful weapon. The attention to detail goes as far as having gory blood marks on the blade. When not chopping Zombies into pieces, the Resident Evil 4 Controller can rest on its stylish stand, on top on your TV, well at sight for the bill collectors knocking at your door. Very impressive in size, it will bring you fear and respect at the same time, yet light and ergonomic, it stays comfortable and does not affect gameplay at all. Holding it in your hands for sure makes you feel like a man; now who said the Cube was for kids?"

now that's a write-up!  too bad there's no force feedback/blade-moving action

This looks f*cking cool.  It looks totally unusable as a controller but that's not the idea, is it?

I don't feel like paying 50 bucks for it but it would interesting to see the reactions of my co-workers if I had it sitting on my desk.

This would fit snugly into any HR department. Sysadmins prefer the real deal, though.

I don't even understand the prospect of this controller... is the chainsaw a critical part of RE4 gameplay or something??

No, not at all.  THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF IT.  It's simply a familiar object from the game.

The only thing that could possibly make this controller better, would be if it came packaged in a burlap sack that you could wear on your head while playing the game.

Now imagine your friends coming over for a round of Mario Kart and you hand one of them THIS...

Why does the stand look like it was molded from a pile of poo? Pretty unique though.

A blood-splattered chainsaw controller is too kiddy for your taste?  Geez, you must be the biggest bad ass on the face of the earth.
