Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
By golly!
This is the ugliest PS2 accessory I have come across so far!
Throwing? The first time those analog sticks hit the wall (or get spiked on tile, for that matter), they're toast.
I'm getting me one of these. Does it vibrate? My girlfriend might like one too.
My roommate's head thanks you.
I thought Nerf was into making things that you take outside and actually use your muscles to enjoy. When did they start to contibute to the couch potato demographic?
Holy crap, I want one. Do you know how many times I've wanted to throw my controller at my roomate's face? Watch for a lawsuit coming tho...
Does it help you throw a perfect spiral?
If only it could also fire small Nurf balls too. Then it would be complete.
Despite it's ugliness, this could actually be pretty useful. Somehow all my current gen console controllers have managed to break by now (except for the wireless ones, yet), i blame my brother's occasional throwing of them after losing to me in Madden, but either way a more durable controller would certainly be useful in my house.
hahaha i wonder if i throw it would it come back to me
No, you're thinking of PS3's prototype controller.
Which, actually, looked like it was pretty comfortable. guess we'll never know.
"NERRRFFFF"
lol.. just had to do it
thoes are some really bad joysticks and d-pad. I would prefer a standard ps2 control.
Sweet. Now I can throw something out of pure frustration and not worry about damaging anything. Brilliant.
There is a rumour out somewhere that says Nerf is also planning on producing a Wii-mote for Madden on the Wii. This will allow you to actually throw the "ball" on a play without risking your controler. No word yet on planned production dates but slated to cost only $30, much less than a regular Wii-mote.
Wireless NERF controller! Awesome, I think the NERF stuff is going to feel simply amazing while playing. Maybe my hands won't cramp up any more since the handles will have some flexibility!! I'm placing a pre order now at gamestop! I can't wait.
Just thought I would add my little bit to this. My daughter has one of these(she has some great friends!)I have to say it stand up well. It has taken a beating with her and she likes to give things the work out it needs. If you love nerf (and she does) and you get mad often (that she do too) this will be great for you! Some one said it is ugly well yes that one shown is but the one she got was all black with the silver the same. The joysticks are raised more that what you see in the pic and they are rubberised. The 1st time she pick it up she was able to hold it nice and tight and not have her hands slip form getting sweat on it. With all this said If you are a parent that hates buying new controlers for your kids because they get mad and break it or your just a hard core player that cramps it is GREAT! hope this help some of you!!!
Don't be so pessimist. This a good idea for a controller. We all know that we have wanted to take out frustrations on other controllers. Now we can. So far I love the one I have because it is so comfortable.
I think these controllers are cool! I bought one last night, I have had my eye on them for a while now, hoping the price would come down, but I finally broke down and bought it. They have several colors to choose from. I purchased the orange. Can't wait to use it. I just think they are neat, the different colors and the feel of it.
im only worried about how hot it will get in your hands after an hour or so, the nerf foam isnt known for wicking away moisture.
