Title: Looking For Info On This Controller

I tried googling to no success. My first guess is that it's actually for PS1 given the gray plug in but I don't know much about Japanese controllers. I doubt I'll end up using it much since it is small but I'm curious as to what company made it and such.

weird little controller, but nothing special that I can see.

lol, it looks like it has little nubs instead of full areas to grab onto.

I used to watch that show (Pingu) with all three of my kids.

It's "claymation" and I enjoyed watching it (in other words, I didn't want to stab my eyeball after seeing it for the hundredth time). The characters only spoke "penguin" so it was easily marketed across the globe, I reckon.

So: I highly recommend it.

Wait... what?

You are only interested in the controller itself?

Sorry, I can't help you with that.
