Does anyone know the quality of Nuby's controlers is it a good 3d party or just junk ? And is there a announced price to this yet? Design looks pretty cool.

i want one just because it looks so cool!

What's that button under the start button? I sorta make it out as 'Macro'. Macro furries? Macro Machines (they're like Micro Machines except very large and CRUSH). Or maybe it generates a real life Mega Man to get you cola while you play?

I want.

Probably for the other Z button on the left there. Map it to work as one of the other buttons.

[Knoxxville]

....I like it!

Macro probably means you can remap buttons so you can play MMAC properly on this one...

Why do they only add paintjobs for these controllers? How about a completely new design?
