Have you ever owned any gimmick/novelty controllers?

Comments

  • Just the power glove.
  • Lol "ThrustMaster"



    Always stuck with standard controllers, until guitar hero came out then I spent lots of money on plastic guitars. I do want this guy though: http://m.play-asia.com/ascii-grip-addon-controller/13/701e7m



    Would be sweet for rpgs, then I could use the other hand for beer 
  • I just got a fishing controller for Dreamcast if that counts. Other than that, no not really.
  • I own two.  





  • Only turbo switch controllers and various NES joystick controllers. Otherwise no. I never saw the appeal of novelty controllers. Unless you count Rocksmith for PS3/PS4.. does my Les Paul count as a novelty controller?



    At any rate, that Demon Destroyer Gunn would be a good cosplay prop.
  • Well, pretty much any Nintendo controller since the N64 falls under Novelty controller for me.



    I have a set of wireless 3DO controllers which might be considered novelty just because they are somewhat rare and unusual.



    Another example that comes to mind (but which I don't own) might be the chainsaw controller that I think came with some version of a Resident Evil game.



    But this is my favorite novelty controller that I own and also use.

    I found one of those in a large game lot that I bought off Craigslist a few years ago.  It works great, although I don't really use it for much.  I'm not near it right now, but this was the only picture I could find of it.

  • I have the Wu Tang controller.
  • I got one of these in a PS1 auction. It doesn't work on any PS1 I have.

    When you absolutely, positively have to kill every terrorist on the screen.





    Does the Vaus controller count? I have one of those.

    It came with a console and a bunch of games as a "freebie."



    I just now found this:

    nice! The one I want is for snes. Same mold I believe. I think those are the only two consoles they came out for, maybe n64 too but not 100% sure
  • I have a Power Glove and this gun turret controller for the Atari 2600.
  • I have some Christmas tree ornament controllers, thanks to my wife. Now that's novelty.
  • I had one of those weird Sega Ascii pads where it put the C and Z buttons up on top as shoulder buttons trying really hard to emulate an SNES controller. It actually felt comfortable to hold - but was still awkward as hell.
  • I really want to get one of the sword controllers for Onimusha on the PS2. It looks totally bad ass and comes with an awesome sword rack. I'm sure its functionality is probably ass but its too cool to pass up.
  • I just put a bunch of picks together to make it quicker to upload.  aren't all just gimicky, I included any "non-stock" ones I found.  I've not cleaned my controlers since getting them out of "storage" yet, and since they were moved into an old barn, you can bet some are pretty dirty.



    These are not including duplicates, most joysticks I own at least 2 copies of, except the cityboy, PS analog, and some of the playstation ones.



























    ... I think I overdid the pictures...
  • I have an NES max from when I was a kid. Barely used.  
  • op, funny you should start this thread. i started a similar one asking who collected 3rd party controllers and acc.



    here is that thread ---> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=1&catid=5&threadid=161958







    anyways i have a ton of stuff ive collected over the years. i have a lot of the stuff ozzy has (great collection btw) and some really weird import items too.



    one of my favorite things that has not been mentioned is the 40 button, 3 pedal, 2 joystick, 1 throttle, 1 eject botton steel battlalion controller for the orig xbox...

  • You guys are ruthless lol. I really like the Wii U controller
  • I've owned all the useless, third party shit in the FuncoLand "Misc" bin at one time or another.



    Useless crap. All of it, lol.

    LMAO! The "slick stick". Sounds like an intro to a 70's porno
  • I also have the Miya 2000. Crazy...
  • I had the pleasure of buying the turbo touch 360 for the SNES.



    Horrible waste of money.
