Anyone have one of these in your collection?

Greetings! Im new to the forum. Just wondering if anyone has one of these controllers? This is a prototype from nubytech. There are only a dozen or so that exist.

I have like four of them.

Dude that is sick!!!! You are lucky for having one of these. I always wanted to get the one for the Gamecube but never got the chance to get one.

Welcome to the forums by the way.

Thanks! I only know if 3 other collectors that have one of these. Apparently, nubytech was not allowed by capcom to use the biohazard name on this controller so the only ones that were ever officially released are "resident evil" controllers. And these never got beyond the prototype stage. These were supposed to be destroyed but a friend of mine knew someone at nubytech and here it is. This is a pic of the number plate.

Are there any of these still in existence that could be for sale?

We are actually going to sell this one on Game Gavel for the CCAG show in Cleveland Ohio in June.

*edit* but other than this and 2 others that I have heard of the rest remain in the hands of one other collector. So. they are crazy rare.

Oh cool, it's probably going to be worth too much for me to buy though. lol

I do hope it does well. Of the 2 that I have heard of selling they were in the $700+ range.

Oh ok, that's like a week and a half of working for me to get it. lol

No but I think I know what I'm going to get my uncle for Christmas or his birthday. He totally loves Resident Evil 4. Is there a chainsaw controller for the GameCube version? Or the Wii version?

They only made ones for the Gamecube and the PS2.

Awesome, thanks! I've definitely got to get the GameCube one for my uncle for his birthday or Christmas.

Those things sell as high as $1,200 on EBay alone. Apparently Nubytech were allowed to sell them in the US for a short amount of time but couldn't get the rights to sell them in Japan. That's why they chose to stop producing them. Being a 'prototype' what are the odds it will work if you choose to use it?

Well, I cant say with 100% certainty because I have never used it but the guy I got it from said that they were fully functional protos. And he is the one that has the bulk of them. I will say that this one is fully packaged and boxed from nubytech. I wouldnt think they would go to that length if it didnt work. (just figuring)
I didnt realize that there had been one on ebay though.
here is a pic of the box:

How does that differ from the regular (red) chainsaw controller?

Mainly, its the use of the Biohazard logo and the color. (And the number plate)

The only difference I'm noticing between it and the regular red and yellow remotes is that it says "Biohazard4" instead of "Resident Evil4" on it.

And there's about 6 of those on EBay right now.
