Hmm...looking at their link to buy Biohazard 4 made me realize...plot twists aside, the latest game doesn't even seem to be about biological hazards anymore! Heh heh.
Awesome controller. I swear that one of these days I'll pony up the money and buy it.

If they wanted to promote it, they should get Bruce Campbell to hold it.
"Come get some."
But anyhow I'd buy theat just to display it if anything!

I'm pretty sure that will come out here as well.
Especially since it's being made by NubyTech.
I don't really like it though. :(

Surely most people have seen this by now, but here goes:
-- RE-make is already released and Resident Evil 0 is coming soon, after that Resident Evil 4. Isn't it Mr. Mikami?
S: Yes.... but I don't think I can say something about Resident Evil 4 yet, young staffs struggling to make good one, so it is changing everyday. Of course I am checking what is going on, but we really don't know what is going to happen.
The only thing I can tell you now is Resident Evil 4 will definitely release only on GameCube, not on another console, if it happens, I will cut my head off.
T: Yeah, I want to say this point LOUD. Resident Evil series will only release on Nintendo, This is done deal.
-- The users are confused because Resident Evil-network is developing on PS2.
T: Yes, we are planning to release RE-network on PS2, but I'm talking about Resident Evil with number series, 1, 0 and 4 and another number Resident Evil series. This kind of orthodox Resident Evil is ONLY in Nintendo.
S: I have to apologies to the users who believed me to buy Dream Cast to play Resident Evil CV, I didn't know Capcom put out the "only on DC" thing. When I found out, that was too late.
T: This time, we really mean it.
Sure y'do!

If it was a little cheaper, I'd get it just to have. I mean, even to keep it boxed on the shelf would be sweet. It's unique. I like unique stuff.

Okay, I thought the Onimusha Sword Controller was a bit overkill... heh. Overkill.
The only strange-ass controller I have my eyes on now is the Dragon Warrior Slime controller.

well, all I have to say is WHY!~ They just glued a chainsaw blade onto a controller. Now, if they made a camera controller for a Fatal frame game, I would ge that. Hrm that brings up an interesting point, they should make a Fatal frame game where you use a actual real life camera to defeat the enemies, sorta like a shooter game with a gun.

Man, that's just friggin insane! Does it do something different than a standard controller (do you swing the thing to kill zombies and such?)?
That is so Evil Dead....All Hail the King, baby!

Dude what are you talking about? The controller isn't a real chainsaw. It is just molded to look like one, the button configuration is different to. I think it looks hella cool.
I doubt these things will ever hit the states.

This controller gets the prize for the weirdest-looking controller! On the other hand, it can be also used as part of a Halloween costime... :D
In any case, I think I'll pass.

Man that thing looks cheap... the blood looks like someone splattered strawberry jelly all over it.
I expected something a little more grotesque from Resident Evil. And wouldn't the blade make the unit heavier on one side then the other, I mean it looks a little akward to use for any long period of time, like your hands would ache from having to hold it up at the right angle.

I like promophile's idea of a camara controller for the next fatal frame game 8-)
So will this thing work on my NTSC gamecube?

So will this thing work on my NTSC gamecube?Controllers are backwards compatible as far as I know. Which is why you can use those Hori SNES style controllers no matter where you live. To quote Martha Stewart, It's a good thing.

The term isn't "backwards compatible," but rather region-inspecific. Or region-free.

That would be really cool, I'd sign on for that gimmick
As far as the RE4 controller goes, I'm buying one if they don't come out over here. If they do come out here I will still buy it, but after it gets marked down.
