    Ok I forgot all about this one.

    Try to imagine the chainsaw controller in Green. Well imagine no more.

    Very nice, I love the common chainsaw controller as a shelf item. But hell, these Mega Man controller cause eye cancer.

    Wouldn't mind one of those Biohazard controllers myself. How much would you want?

    #19 sold for $750 which had an opened paper compartment seal removed to pull them out and show pictures.

    I would sell #22 or #33 (either one I don't care) both new and with sealed compartments for $850 and then that is it as I'm keeping the last one for myself.

    I thought I had more but I tore the place apart looking for all the different prototypes controllers etc and could not find any more.

    Here is the Frogger controller. I was told only one made. Of everything they had this one they did not want to sell the most and gave me the biggest fight. It was also the most expensive item. I'm not sure if that had to do with licensing as they didn't really say why. The cord on the controller was cut when it arrived. Perhaps by doing this they could sell it as non-working parts I am not sure.

    I don't think this Yu-gi-oh controller ws released but I am not be sure. The package is sheets of plastic barely held together with scotch tape.

    Thanks for sharing, as always.

    I don't really know. Perhaps it is a necklace or something? I don't watch the show so I assume it was somehow related and left it be. Whatever it is they are not sticks but chain links linked together.

    Found a biohazard chainsaw prototype with a partial box. Serial number 99912
    The box has magic marker indications of possible changes.

    Wow those yu-gi-oh controllers look sweet. Be nice to get my hands on one of them...

    As for the megaman X controllers the bottom 2 look like the retail releases and the top one looks like a late prototype.

    Awesome pictures, I didn't know that the Chainsaw Controllers we're not released in Japan. They still seem to be a novelty rather than a functional controller.

    Still though, the Yu-Gi-Oh controllers are... Very ugly.... And yes those chain are used to be a a necklace of sorts either for the controller or of the box (more likely the box as it has the handle of sorts in the top).

    The box design is similar to the Millenium Puzzle (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Millennium_Puzzle) and Yami Yugi wears it all the using a chain (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yami_Yugi)

    Whoever it doesn't discount the fact for me that it's very very bright in colors and reminds me of controllers from Famiclones... :p

    You can find them listed on ebay.

    Also you may have mis-read my post. I meant the to say that the bottom 2 controllers in your picture looked like the retail while the top controller looks like the prototype.
    As for the yu-gi-oh controlers those may have been released as one sold on ebay for $150 brand new apparently.

    Nice items. I'm a fan of the chainsaw controllers as display items, nice to see some protos.

    I do remember trying to play RE4 on Gamcube with the controller, the tilt sensor novelty was cool for a few minutes then it quickly became obvious that playing for any period of time with this thing wasn't really going to work!!
