The next generation of controllers in Lego

by Conrad Quilty-Harper { Apr 13th 2006 at 5:00AM }

Nathan Sawaya, a professional Lego builder (yeah, they have those) has put his Lego mind to the next-generation of games consoles. Like he says "with E3 coming up, I built some video game controllers! Yay!" He must have started these models a while ago, because he hasn't made a Revolution controller model. Once you're over at his site, make sure to check out his mad-lib from a general video game fanboy:

"The greatest video game ever would be called Super Invading Combat [insert plural noun] from Mars Championship 2006! It would be fun to control the [insert noun] as it fights all of the [insert adjective] bad guys. My favorite level would let you [insert verb] a car all over [insert place]. You could also earn [insert plural noun] if you didn't [insert verb] [insert plural noun] [insert conjunction] [insert prepositional phrase]! Wouldn't that have [insert past participle]!"

Sounds like a cool game.

Shame he's going to have to dismantle that and redo it when Sony reveal the actual controller ;)

" It is the worlds biggest double sided dildo!!! LOL"

And the controllers look pretty dumb too. :)

It kills me that he didn't bother with the Rev.

(troll) Silly article title, these controllers aren't next gen! If he wanted to make lego models of anything next gen from those guys, he'd have to use almost a million little blocks (1280x720). We all know there's only one next gen controller!(/troll)

But seriously, that's some damned fine lego work.

I emailed him (I did a project for school last year and I had to interview him) and asked why he did not make a Revolution controller. He told me that he was hired to build these (he does freelance) and the person who asked him to build it only asked for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
