Revolution controller in Phoenix Wright?

Whilst playing the most excellent Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, I came across the dramatic scene pictured above. In the hilarious courtroom adventure's first chapter, Phoenix has to carefully debunk the testimony of one Mr. Sahwit, a shifty fellow who claims to have discovered the bludgeoned body of a model in her apartment. Look carefully at the supposed cordless telephone to the right. Doesn't it look a tad familiar, almost like a certain revolutionary controller?

Note to self: Nerd!
