You know what the Sonic the Hedgehog series has been missing? Dangerous levels of obesity resulting in adult onset diabetes and eventually death, a glaring omission corrected in the Sega Genesis hack Sonic 2 XL. It makes Sonic a fat-ass.

Namco, one of the older software and hardware manufacturers with its back catalog of both console and arcade releases, including arcade hardware specifically designed for their respective games, are by no means alien to the notion of releasing game-specific controllers. Over the years there have been some weird, wacky and downright awesome controllers released, both with and without games: from the now-legendary GunCon to the lesser-known JogCon and NegCon. Let’s wind back 20 years and look a little deeper into these controllers, take a loot at the games they were released for and how well they did on the market.

I want to add some sort of text to this post, but I’m lost for words. I just wish these guys were around back in 2001 when I was living on the eastern end of the street where Hacklab.to are currently located!

I can’t help but find this video quite charming – it’s a compilation of early arcade and console games. (Atari 2600 era!)
