Third party hardware manufacturer Nuby Tech is in development with a new Resident Evil 4 themed GameCube controller shaped like a chainsaw.

The pad pays homage to the deadly burlap sack-wearing, chainsaw-wielding enemy seen in the village area of Resident Evil 4. The foe, widely viewed as one of the scarier additions to the survival horror franchise, can actually chop main character Leon Kennedy's head off if players are not careful.

Nuby's RE4 chainsaw controller can be gripped comfortably with both hands. The main analog stick is located at the top-left corner of the chainsaw's faceplate, and the camera stick just below. The A, B, Y and X buttons sit close by. The shoulder buttons cannot be viewed in the official prototype image of the device, but we assume they will be placed on either side of the chainsaw itself.

Nuby does not yet have an official price in mind for the Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller, but the company did confirm that franchise fanatics can pick it up sometime in early January.

:lol I wouldn't buy it but it is kind of "cool".

Maybe I would buy it as a collectable thing for my own pride...But why the F would I want to control a game with a lay out like that?

I think it's cool if they make a GC console like that, not a controller.

For those damn people who can't adjust to RE's controls.

I think that look fab. Imagine playing Smash Brothers with that.

Only cool if it was made from a real working chainsaw.

It's not that weird... The second handlebar is just a gun handle and the X has moved to a trigger position instead. Kinda cool, albeit useless, if you ask me.
