I can't believe how small it is

and I know how many threads about this there have been, but I have never seen someone actually holding it

[smalien1]

Holy shit, you are right! I might not pick one up now

[AdamInPlaidum]

Yes, that struck me rather hard when I saw it, as well.

[greydemise]

what a wussy lookin controller o_O

[hutno]

I thought it'd be bigger

[ElfAngel7]

I thought it'd be bigger
I hear that all the time ::sigh::

I don't know but everytime I see that picture I laugh. And yeah, I expected it to be a bit bigger. At least you can pretend to be a disgruntled bob the builder.

Looks about the size I expected. How huge were you all expecting it to be? It's a controller :)

Exactly, that's what I expected too.

At least double or at least half bigger than that. :: shrug :: ah well, shrinkage..

I was also thinking it would about twice the size.

[Weedy649]

well they did make a good size katana for onimusha so i guess it would be ok to expect i nice size chainsaw for RE

I wanted something more along the lines of the Onimusha 3 controller :P

It also doesn't look very comfortable to play.

Well hell I've got a spare chainsaw in the basement i'm open that bad boy do some moding. If I don't reply in 2 days, somethings gone horribly wrong.

For some reason I thought you already had one.

[Greetard]

THAT GUY LOOKS LIKE MERRY FROM LOTR (if he was fat)! :rofl:

That thing is like some hair clippers.

Yeah I always figured it would be more lifesize at the expense of comfort to make it worth the $50

[Nephets]

Pictures aren't working, but something tells me it's pretty small. :P

[TheRock88]

Man, that is small. I was hoping it would be a little bit bigger then that. :(

[whoknows]

I dont think thats worth the $50 they are asking. I'll wait and hopefully it will get cheaper.

[crazytalkx]

1/10 scale chainsaw.........oooh scaryyyyyy

[Trakan]

I thought it was going to be the size of a chainsaw. :P Being that size doesn't look like it's a bad thing, but I'd have to use it first.

[flizmo007]

I will definitely pick one up, if for nothing else than to display it with the rest of my gaming swag, figures, etc. Here are some pics of the packaging, which I think looks great.

[Steggy]

idk, it still looks pretty bad ass to me... and i dont even have a gamecube anymore... hope whoever i sold it to here is enjoying it :)

[scdoanintendo]

The packaging is the best I've seen.

nope, I wanted one really badly because of how much I like my sword.

and like someone mentioned, I was expecting something about the size of the Onimusha sword, which is pretty long

[CaptainObviousXl]

this is the size of a regular controler...

[Zenithian Legend]

I was expecting it to be chainsaw-sized... hell it doesn't even have a blade, PLUS it's made of plastic instead of steel, what a rip-off.

[tenzor]

WOW that looks small. I want to pick it up because I am a huge RE fan, but I don't want to drop 50 for it. I am afraid if I wait, its going to become harder to find and I will end up having to pay more then 50 because its rare. Hopefully it will be on sale somewhere for 35 or less.

[2poor]

too small for shaq = too small for me

[azncrazy4gs]

Any bigger would interfere with gameplay.

[dracula]

i might pick one up at like $40 or so. I might have to PM and combine with a GGC to get the price down but i want one,

frankly, i think i want it more as a collection piece than as a controller. i might even leave it sealed

[Mospeada_21]

hmm...second take impressions.

size = weak
packaging = great! (2 versions?)
price = wtf! $50!?
design = interesting
collectable = fairly high (depends on production numbers)

finally, and most importantly, control layout...how will the control-stick function in tandem with the c-stick? (must try before buying) and where are the L, R, and Z buttons?

[Dr Mario Kart]

call me crazy, but i think it might be ok for competitive fighters, you could hold it just like a small arcade stick. Granted, there are no competitive games on the Cube except Smash.

[ZForce915]

That looks pretty weak. But since I'm not a fan of the RE series *gasp*, I'd pass either way.

BTW, that wasn't a knock on the game but rather on the genre. Survival horror never really excited me. Enternal Darkness was supposed to be a awesome game, and that just kinda bored me.

I'm not certain, but I don't think these will be sold at Best Buy or CC, I think they will be game store only (GS, EB, maybe GC or GR). I could be wrong.

P.S. Just to brag, my $29.99 GS.com pre-order still appears to be in effect.

[JAMMR]

Size matters.

[screwkick]

Cool as an RE collectible, but not for actual use IMO.

[MaxBiaggi3]

This thing might have actually sold reasonably well at half the $49.99 asking price. At double the cost of two new Nintendo brand GCN controllers, I doubt Nuby will see many sales beyond the "must-have" RE collectors. The production run likely won't be high, but the company could always later release a PS2 model.

[NintendoFanGirl]

After seeing the packaging, I think I may have to pick one up too. I'll keep my eyes open for a deal :)
