Bandai Controller Keychain Brings Back Memories

Do you long for the good ol’ days, where you were playing games like Street Fighter II (SFII)? You may not have those consoles in your home anymore, but you could always pick up one of these key chains from Bandai, shaped in the form of a NES controller. The cute part is, if you press a combination such as down, down right, right + punch, it’ll give off the sound effect of the corresponding move in the game. There are 3 key chains for SFII, giving off different sound effects for characters from the game. According to Bandai, listening to sounds from your favorite game makes you feel happy (though we’re not sure if you feel that way). It’s currently retailing for 888 Yen ($10) in Japan.

Each button press and combo works just like the originals – just without the benefit of a screen. The initial batch of Mousou controllers includes three arcade classics: Xevious, Street Fighter II and Famista (a classic Namco/Nintendo baseball game from Japan).
