YOWZA! Nintendo "JOYPAD CUBE MINI" controller

[atomicthumbs]

First I've heard of it or seen it anywhere. I'll be ordering one of these next week (goin' silver) so I'll subit a review later. I'm just curious HOW much smaller the controller is. I've gotta say, I'm jazzed about the turbo function, and the design is awful pretty!

Joypad cube mini?

Sounds like hong kong to me.

Man, the Dpad is small enough on the original. I can't imagine a smaller controller. My hands aren't even that big, and I have issues with the DPad. Oh well. I'll wait to hear reviews.

Who makes it, that would be a good determination of how good it will be.

Looks cramped, but the d-pad seems to present more surface area - always a good thing.

Didn't Mad Catz or someone release a really small GC controller? I remember seeing one a year or two ago and havn't seen one since.

It looks like an official release from Nintendo... Isn't it?

Mad Catz makes a microcon for GC, although I don't know how small it is.

Personally, I'd rather they made a GC Retrocon.

It looks like it's officially licensed, but it's not a Nintendo product.

My hands are too big for that crap.

There is the Hori Super NES Pad.

I already have one of those, and it's great for games that don't need analog, like fighters or classic Resident Evil.
I'd like something that has that shape plus analog sticks and triggers to use as my primary GC controller.
