The top green banner says "Itoko," meaning cousin, and the one after that says "Fujio," which must be his name. Can't very well read the rest, though.

以前よりも貫録のでたイトコ。
頭は滅多に噴火しないけど、
怒ったらその活動を始める活火山。
噴火の際は、黄色の角が外れ、
そこから何かが流れ出すのだが、
再び角をはめれば怒りもおさまるという、
かわいい活火山。

"An even more dignified cousin than before. His head erupts frequently and if angered the active volcano begins its activities. In the event of eruption, the yellow cone lifts off and something comes flowing out, but once the cone lands again the anger is quelled within this lovely volcano."

Well it looks like Fujio, only he...grew a mustache?

They are giving the cousins from the first game a more defined personality now?

Hey, whatever became of that Dual Shock thing? The last I heard Sony was forced to stop manufacturing them, which would mean that the ones currently on store shelves will be the last. If that's the case, the white dust would terrify me because it would be evidence of my slowly destroying an irreplaceable piece of hardware, but there are certain games you can't play without them, so...

Post by **Segaholic2** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 5:59 pm

What? Why would they stop manufacturing them?

Post by **Delphine** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 7:12 pm

Seriously? I need to go buy some backup controllers if that's the case.

Supposedly another company holds the patent to the dual shock.

Smilies are only for shallow thinkers who lack the mental facilities to express themselves with words.

I think Sony still intended to fight the court decision. I'm not sure what's going on with that at the moment, but yeah, if you want to be safe, grab a couple of extras. 'Twould be a tragic end to the single best control pad ever designed.

That's a moot point. Not the tragic end part.

Post by **Green Gibbon!** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 8:47 pm

Well I mean it would be nice if the actual console worked, too.

Post by **Esrever** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 8:59 pm

The dual shocks have not been pulled. Sony is appealing the court decision. And if they do eventually lose, I'm pretty sure they'll settle with Immersion rather than getting rid of the controller.

Yeah, nothing will been pulled until the ruling is final (which will be long after the PS2 is dead to never).
