Wu-Tang Controller Ain't Nuthing To Futz With

Only slightly more ridiculous than Sony's PS3 prototype boomerang controller, this Wu-Tang pad was released alongside the Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style (subtitled Taste the Pain in PAL territories) 3D fighter for the PS1 in 1999.

Most people who've played the game will tell you it's crap, but I have fond memories of rocking my cousins' faces off with Gza's liquid sword.

I wasn't aware of the Wu-Tang controller back then, but knowing about it now, it saddens me that I wasn't able to do it all with a huge and likely unwieldy W in my grip.
