Today I learned about the Jogcon controller for PS1 & PS2:

This was a dualshock where the analog sticks are replaced by a dial with force feedback, so players could play Ridge Racer and really FEEL the road as if the dial was a steering wheel. I have no clue if it was good (probably not), but I do miss a good weird controller.

Holy shit I just looked this up and this article says there are forty buttons! Also apparently if you didn't eject in time, the game would erase your save file?!?

Both games were pretty damn brutal, but memorable, experiences. I wish someone would come up with something like it, because that was the closest I've felt to my childhood dream.

You don't have to tell me to get in the robot, you have to stop me from hijacking it just for a joyride.
