On June 26, Hori announced an officially Valve-licensed Hori Steam controller to launch in Japan on October 31, in four colors, at a price point of ¥7980, or roughly $50. The available colors include Neon Yellow, Luminous Violet, Shiny White, and Midnight Black. As the yen pricing suggests, these new Hori Steam Controllers are exclusive to Japan. However, they still carry on Steam Controller's legacy in interesting ways, and they may still come Stateside. This seems to be part of Valve's ongoing efforts to court Japanese gamers, who played lots of portable games even in years when portable consoles (i.e., the Sony PSP) were unsuccessful elsewhere.
