I didn't know they are headquartered in Osaka. I checked, they are like 15 minutes from my apt. That being said, these special edition controllers never do anything for me..

I don't see the point of these. The SF controllers have a purpose, offering a Saturn-style pad for fighting fans...but these...

*sigh* I'm such a Mega Man addict, those controllers actually look cool to me.

Anyways yeah this is getting a bit out of hand. Companies me thinks are learning that random non branded third party controllers don't sell as well as liscensed video game versions.
