Did you know?
They made a special controller for the game Shadow the Hedgehog on the Playstation 2. Everything was themed just for Shadow! It came in its own special plastic dome case, that you can see here. When you take off the dome, you'll find the red & black controler (it's smaller than a normal one) & Sega branded cord. The bottom of the 'box' has more Shadow imagry and logos. There's a glossy coating with Shadow portrait on the upper half of it & look, even the buttons are themed with the sort of tribal style symbols. (the start button is also in an odd spot) The instruction manual is round (appropriate) & features more art in color & black and white while explaining the buttons. It uses quotes from the game box & manual like how you decide what path to take in the game & etc. The controller was known for a defect though: either all or several of them could not use the "Click the Stick" on either thumb-stick command. The sticks would still click/make noise/act like you were pressing correctly, but if you had a game that required doing that, it wouldn't work. This item is in the SonicGear personal collection.
