Clearly, an absurd title deserves an equally absurd controller. The controller will be made by HORI and will]]> …at least that’s what it looks like to me. This is a concept image of the controller for the Wii port of the arcade game Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory. Clearly, an absurd title deserves an equally absurd controller.

The controller will be made by HORI and will sell for ¥12,800 (approx. $138 USD). As for the sword that’s barely a sword? Andriasang says that gamers will “push down on the sword for your special finishing sword attack.” Oh, Japan. I wouldn’t be surprised if that turns out to be the sword controller’s only purpose.

But I had eyes for only one thing: the most ridiculous (and awesome) Nintendo DS stand ever created.

The Dragon Quest Slime Speaker Stand is useful–it holds your DS and includes a speaker–but mostly, it’s just a giant slime, designed for the person who really loves them some Dragon Quest. Usefulness only goes so far when you’re talking about dropping ¥4725 (appx. $51 USD) on a cool accessory that makes your portable gaming system somewhat less portable.

The stand will be available from Hori, along with these clear cases designed for the new DSi.
