  • Nubytech: Out of Business

    It seems its unofficially official, Nubytech is done for. With the last employee now gone the company only exists as a name now. For the past few months I've been chatting with a former employee who has been letting me in on some of the inner workings of the company.

    He's the one who let me know that the special limited run of black Biohazard 4 chainsaw controllers would not be making it to the retail market. He also happened to sell quite a lot of the companies assets for them, including many prototype controllers. I managed to pick up a few, which you can see below. I was sitting on this until he landed a new job and now that it has happened I feel safe in relaying this information.

    A proper feature will spawn from this one day, I just thought it would be best to get it out asap.


    Pictured above (from left to right)
    1. COA for the various controllers
    2. A Prototype PS2 controller which has tons of blood splattered and with a different texture from the final numbered 99,912/50,000
    3. A Prototype GCN controller which has some of its inernal guts missing (Numbered 2)
    4. A Very interesting Prototype for the PS2 controller which has the GCN versions outer shell, but the PS2's guts. Numbered 99,913/50,000
    5. One of only 14 Black Chainsaw prototypes to make it out of Japan. Only 14 of the official production models were made however almost all were scooped up by a private collector. I managed to get this one, which is even more unique in that it has "Resident Evil 4" on it. This one of two (possibly three) made like this, for internal use only.
    6. A very early GCN Prototype controller, with parts that fit together very roughly.
    7. A Prototype PS2 controller which is very much like the first one listed, numbered 99,912/50,000

        Awww bad news. I feel bad now for not actually buying the controls, they made some nice things I must admit.

                I'm pretty sure they made the DOA4 stick for the Xbox 360 too, right?

                    One of them I got was up on ebay, the rest were all sold to another private collector.

                      Pfff...the chainsaw controller never had much of a real use. It's just cool to see. Better waving around a real chainsaw
