...and even if it isn't I wouldn't spend $30,000 on it:

EDIT: It is from this SNES CD prototype:

It seems familiar, though. Like a NUON controller, or something. but the connector is wrong.

No, the connector is right. Remember that SNES CD dev box?

See that serial cable in the back? $10 says it's female, and thus, the interface for this controller.

So wait, some thoughts:

1. Let's spend $3000 on a controller!  :dance:  ](*,)

2. Let's sell the controller separately from the system only to make some fat cash for ourselves and ruin  the value of a great historical artifact at the same time!  :dance:  ](*,)  :cry:
