Famitsu magazine frequently posts a 1-2 page section every week about bizarre or retro video game accessories. Last week, this controller was mentioned, so I thought I would try to find if it was still for sale. I didn’t even realize it was manufactured by Hori, a brand known for their high quality precision joysticks.
The controller is in the shape of a slime, a popular but lowly enemy in the Dragon Quest series. Although its shape makes it seem like it would be difficult to hold, it actually appears to fit in the hand nicely:

Despite the fact that the controller is for the PS2, you can still purchase it. I managed to find it on sale at Amazon.com for $29.95 (base included) here
. Considering the Dragon Quest controller is only about $10 more than a Sony brand PS2 controller, you might as well spend a bit extra and get a loyal friend to join you on your favorite video game adventures.
