Infendo readers of the world rejoice! Since my digital camera is kind of large and tends to flash unwantedly, I’ve always felt uncomfortable using it to take pictures of things inside small, smelly, scary, Japanese game stores and have instead been using my cellphone to take such photos. The catch: Sending your photos to your computer from your Japanese cellphone via e-mail costs a fortune. Enter the crazy Japanese software I bought that lets you transfer the photos for free! From today on you will be given a unique view into the insane Nintendo stuff you can get at game stores across the briny eastern country we call Japan.
To start you off here’s the first full keyboard/controller hybrid that ASCII manufactured for use ONLY with Phantasy Star Online for the Nintendo Game Cube (you can use the controller with other games but not the keyboard). Can you just imagine holding this thing while you play?

Wow well thats, thats somethin.
Logitech made a wireless PS2 controller like that too. Man, they're so big and awesome though.
That, sir, is ridiculous and unprecedented.. I must have one!I wonder what the Wii keyboard is going to look like.. can you imagine them trying to do something like this with the wiimote? hahaha
I played with one of those at an E3 some years back, and again when I worked with Nintendo. Surprisingly ergonomic, if something that large and unwieldy can ever be considered so. That said, the keyboard was small and largely useless, and it was a pain to put it down, type something, then pick it up again while playing.
I'm drooling at the idea of using a BlueTooth keyboard with Wii for online trash talk before mopping up Blake on Smash Bros Brawl.
I have one, I used to play PSO all the time on the cube.The keyboard controller is not that awkward, you just rest each arm on your arm rest and the controller fills the gap between your hands. the buttons on the keyboard are horribly small and make it very difficult to type.
offtopic coment here.i am a infendo radio-holic and i want my semanal dose, thanks.
When PSO came out for the Cube, I had every intention of importing this controller. The problem there though, was that it was rather expensive to import and thus, it actually forced me out of PSO.I loved that game, I just wish there was no pay-for-play… Phantasy Star Universe is going to be the same way unfortunately… That plus the Xbox Live fee? I'll pass.
It looks almost as big as the original xbox controller!
ijal at that comment ^ps, ijal=i just actually laughedits a very underground up and coming acronym
That's nothing for the 2 anacondas I got for arms… how much does it weight? 3 kilos?
I owned this controller and it was awesome. It felt just like a regular controller, but your hands are further apart. The weight was about the same amazingly. Size of the keys was a tad too small indeed. Too bad it could only be used for PSO though, so I sold it again with a profit. 🙂
its my only controller left haha. imma use it on the wii.
