That Looks Awful: Samurai Gaming Joypad

Category: Default Game: Default Posted on Oct 18, 2009 8:21 pm


There comes a time in every gamer's life when you have to ask yourself, "Is the original manufacturer's controller good enough, or should I opt for a questionably constructed peripheral that looks like a skeletal samurai?" Enter the $25 Warrior USB Joypad. Did I mention the samurai's eyes glow green and the face mask is removable? Because that should make it a no-brainer. Suck it, Dual Shock, your ass just got feudal Japan-inated!


The controller is modeled after the traditional garb of a Samurai warrior, but underneath this fighter’s mask is a scary Skeletor head, complete with glowing green LED eyeballs. Now I didn’t have the patience to read the entire Wikipedia entry on Samurai warriors, but I don’t remember the part about glowing green LED eyes. Leave us a comment if you happen to find that part.


It's really cool to own one, right?

If you want a good pair of warm UGG boots that you can wear during the cold months for years into the future, but don’t want to spend a fortune then you need cheap uggs. Ugg Matala Sandal are a typically quality sheepskin boot with leather outer and strong rubber soles on the bottom. The Tasmina UGG boot is the center of all sheepskin shoe companies shoe lines for a reason.

I think they based this on movies..

 

Samurais are dead in this era.. And we can only see them in movies.. Also if you noticed some samurai movies that are realted to modern the samurais are mostly ghost.. That's why the eyes are green.

Making it scarier I think.

 

Anyway nice article! :)

aesthetically it looks different so it's possible that hard core gamers will be in some way interested about it but there is also the functionability and comfort issue so they should check the rig before they dig doncha think?

This made me wonder: did they put a skeleton head there 'coz they thought it awkward to put in a man's face instead, or is it some kind of joke that Samurai in ths day and age are "practically dead"?
