Midway Releasing First "M" Rated Controllers
As if your screen wouldnt be filled with enough Mortal Kombat blood as it is, Midway and NubyTech have announced a new series of controllers based around the newest game in the MK series, Mortal Kombat: Deception. Available for both Xbox and PlayStation 2, these will be the first "M" rated controllers on the market. Featuring art inspired by Mortal Kombat: Deception, and more specifically its fatalities, these controllers are obviously intended for the same mature players the game caters to. As such, the game boxes will contain a censored image of the controller, specifically a silhouetted version of the graphic, as to not corrupt the minds of youngins shopping for Pokemon. Once open though, youll find fully-realized fatality art, decapitations, fountains of blood and all, adorning your joystick. Additionally, NubyTech will also include console decals for both PlayStation 2 and Xbox so that you can cover everything in bloody, free-flying heads. Take a look at the censored images weve got for now and check back for the gory stuff when weve got the stomach to post them.Source: http://www.ign.com
