Default The Gamecube Keyboard

What was this little contraption doing at e3 this year? Most likely demonstrating online capability.

Ya, heard the controller feels nice, but the keys are too small.

Better than no keyboard though. You need it for PSO.

OMG it's a deformed gamecube controller with a keyboard hammered into the middle of it. Ok I have to admit my immediate first reaction is it looks funny but I can see how it would work, nice original design, wonder which developer nicks the idea first.

Hehe... that thing looks funny. I would rather just have a normal keyboard, but it's good to see that Nintendo's looking into new ways to play online.

It seems like you ppl think that is actually new. It's not, we saw it half a year ago.
