The bizarre and the ugly.

[CouldBeWorse]

Just discovered this-hairdryer? offical link to hairdryer. Are Hori crazy? some of there controllers are great such as there arcade sticks (also there ltd.edition memory cards) but some these pads just look impossible to use! Quick look on there website reveals some really bizarre designs.

Separate Controller

ideal for people with big hands according to the website.

GC camo pad Actually these are pretty cool I'm going to try and import one.

The tiny N64 pad

Almost as weird as the NES MAX pads.

[Jim Miles]

HAHAHAHAHA Those crazy japanese. Especially that diddy N64 pad.

hehe. wavebird size without any of the advantages

How can you tell? I looks the same size from the front but I doubt it has a huge bulge on the back like the wavebird has for the batteries. I don't care i'm stilling going to try and import one.

oh found this too- for the lazy PS2 owner.

Sad thing is the majority of these products are offically licensed or endorsed by Sony/Nintendo. I did find GC251 memory cards available in spice, purple,black and grey unlike the Nintendo 251 card which just come in black. Offically endorsed too. perfect for the gamer who must have memory cards which match the machine.

i'd expect they're officially endorsed because hori have a decent reputation. whereas they don't want to soil their good names by doing the same for madcatz and the like

Thats some weird ass shit. Those crazy Japanese, eh?

The camo GC pad did look a tad larger than normal. But damnit, now I have to chose between that and the green pad.

And this one.

Final Fantasy X-2 Tiny Bee Controller

and, Onimusha 3 Katana Controller

I don't understand how either of those actually work....

[emjay2kay]

I don't understand how either of those actually work....

They're just novelty controllers with the normal buttons on I think. Not very practical, but nice for collectors I guess.

[Bojangle]

I don't care how it works! I just want that Tiny Bee controller!

[Jack]

The SNES shaped GC pad is bloody great, you should all buy one. Now.

[Bojangle]

I've got the 'Snes' pad. It really is, a beautiful device! After playing Harvest Moon on my GBA Player with it, I can't go back to playing it on my GBA SP, it just seems...crap

[kev]

I don't understand how either of those actually work....

me neither. i was kinda hoping the sword would have some sort of motion detector or something, so you could slash it around, but i suspect not...

[Toadfish]

Especially for Super Monkey Ball all those other games that are useable without Analogue!!!! Oh.

[Jack]

Especially for Super Monkey Ball all those other games that are useable without Analogue!!!! Oh.

LOL UR FUNY I WISH I WAS AS FUNY AS U!!!!!!

[emjay2kay]

and the n64 pad - i want one.

Yes, me too.

It is for the GC right?

Edit: No, guess not. Damn.

[CouldBeWorse]

It is for the GC right?

No the N64.

[blue swIIrl]

Especially for Super Monkey Ball all those other games that are useable without Analogue!!!! Oh.

Its for playing GB games with on your GBPlayer.

You did know that right?

[blue swIIrl]

I play a shitload of NGC games with that controller. Probably more than I use it for the GB Player.

Ikaruga, SCII, Megaman Network Transmission are just 3 examples.

Good point. Mr. Toadfish however was trying to insinuate that the Hori Snes pad was a bad pad because its not analogue. Atleast, I think he was. If he wasn't, then I'm sorry Toady. The pad is for digital control games, and in my mind that's my GBPlayer. Good idea with Ikargua though.

[Kapowza]

and Vieutiful Joe, far better with a useable d-pad

[Troublegum]

The Mini Dance Finger Pad gets my vote for being the most bizarre controller I've ever seen.

"Use your fingers rather than your feet".... indeed.

I've used one of those, they're surprisingly good.

[Lazychu]

and Vieutiful Joe, far better with a useable d-pad

When do you use the d-pad in that?

[Kapowza]

moving and such

[blue swIIrl]

I've used one of those, they're surprisingly good.

Doesn't it kind of destroy the point of the game, i.e. to dance? If I wanted to just push buttons in time with the music, I'd play Parappa.

[Laine]

Hori do some ace stuff, I've got a blue camo print PS2 memory card, and a pink one which is also a mini photo frame.

It's ace, haven't found a small enough picture to put in it yet though.

I really, really want Yuna's Twin Bees from FFX-2, but they are £85.

Boo!!!

[Gique]

I've used one of those, they're surprisingly good.

how big are you?

[NEG]

Screw the Snes pad. I want a Mega Drive to GC pad for Sonic Mega Collection
