Chainsaw controller. I want one!!!

You have got to go over to the Game informer online site and check out the new Chainsaw controller being developed by CAPCOM and Nubytech. I have got to get one of these. Blood everywhere.

agreed. WTF would you want to hold that thing for while you play games?

I can't even figure out how you would hold it? Is this related to some particular game?

It's from Capcom so I'm assuming it's for Resident Evil 4. It actually looks worse than the katana controller for Onimusha 3.

I saw those face contollers at Circuit City one day. Why would people want these kind of controllers? I held one and it was very awkward and hard to move the thumbsticks and get to all the buttons.
One had horns on the top which made it difficult to get to the triggers.

It's pictured upside down the horns are the handles, the shoulder buttons are on the top. But, I agree they don't even look comfortable to hold.

It would probably be more practical/cheaper to by an electric chainsaw!

This has "Congressional Hearing" written all over it.... I can see the cover of USA Today already with a pic of a 12 year old holding a bloody chainsaw controller.... too funny.

That would be badass if the rumble feature made the chainsaw part work and people would be sawing their own legs off.

That Chainsaw one looks like a GameCube Controller. Kiddie system indeed.

Looks like you can hold it by the chainsaw handles - the buttons are angled in such a way that it makes sense.

Then, comfortably rest the flat platic surface against your lap! Mmmmm! Stylish and practical!

It looks cool, but all of these "special controllers" usually suck. I'll never forgive myself for buying the Power Glove. doh
