Much like with the PlayStation 2 back in the day, Hori has announced a Slime DualShock 4 for a new generation. The rotund peripheral – designed to tie-in to the release of Dragon Quest XI on the PlayStation 4 – includes all of the features that you'd expect, including (incredibly) a touchpad, mono speaker, gyroscope, and headphone jack.
With dimensions of 145mm width x 145mm depth x 124mm height, we're not sure how comfortable this will be to hold, but at least it's got a happy face. It'll release alongside the game on 29th July for ¥9,980 (~$90) in Japan, though we don't recommend you hold your breath for a Westen release of this novelty.

Still looks more usable than an Xbox One controller for me...
Dig the novelty though. Only question is the angle of the dpad and face buttons.
Finally, the controller I'm gonna use to go pro in Amplitude
It looks very similar to the one the released for ps2
I don't even know how I'd be able to play anything with that. It looks way too uncomfortable.
Back in the day I was actually considering getting the PS2 one. I wish I had as it's value skyrocketed!
Crazy? Please... I've watched someone beat Dark Souls 3 using bananas. /s
@Thegentleman just what i was thinking
I wouldn't use it as a controller it would just be an ornament in the house it to make it feel less depressing
That's gotta be the most uncomfortable controlller. Isn't that too big for Japanese players hands? I remember one of the reasons they changed the original Xbox controller from the Duke was cause Japanese players complained about the size of it.
@Tasuki everyone complained about the Duke controller.
Heck, I still think the Xbox controllers have a fundamental flaw of right stick placement, a my poor thumb cant go as far out as my left thumb, so I cant use the controller without being in a range of "uncomfortable" to "The scar on my hand is opening, get a bandage"
Which is a shame because the actual shape of its alright.
But id use the slime controller over that. Maybe.
Well, it can't be harder to hold than that Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller!
You didn't let me have the Metal Slime PS4 in the west. You won't let me have DQH2 on Vita in the west, and now this.
STOP BREAKING MY HEART SQUARE ENIX!!!
Does it come in brown?
I have the PS2 version of this controller. It's god-awful, but adorable!
I really want one of these!!!
I'm actually going to look into how I can get one of these. I really want one.
