The recently announced Battle Road Victory title will come with a special controller.

 Square Enix has announced that their Dragon Quest spin-off title Battle Road Victory (based on an arcade card battle game) will receive a special controller courtesy of Hori.    


   


The controller simulates the controller layout seen in the arcade version. The sword in the middle of the controller has the same function as the arcade version: when pressed, players unleash a special attack. The controller connects to the Wii Remote and operates under the Classic Controller options, confirming that the title will feature multiple control schemes.    


The special controller has been priced at ¥12,800, or around $130 dollars in the US.

I like this DQ Spinoff Port controller better than any Classic Controller PS2 Clone Pro better than the real Talkback thread.

It has dual-anal controls.  Regular gamers love this sort of thing, right?

That looks pretty cool. Not $130 cool, but still nice.

I doubt this controller will be released here. Dragon Quest itself isn't very popular here, so no one would buy something like this.

It's a card-battle game.  I don't think character movement comes into play.

But you're dying to use it for Monster Hunter, or even New Super Mario.

I believe there is an exploration section if I am not mistaken.

I didn't even notice those tiny things on the base. I thought the scale was off for the Wii remote, but that thing is HUGE.
