Ah, how I miss the days of weird gaming peripherals releasing with quirky games. Back in the PS3/Wii/Xbox 360 era, the controller market was the wild west. We had it all, from Guitar Hero controllers to balance boards that told children they were obese, to actual skateboards without wheels.
In the case of the latter, some of you who are enjoying the new release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 & 4 may remember that in the dying days of the franchise's original run, Activision released Tony Hawk: Ride. Alongside the game, there was a novelty skateboard controller that let players take to their living room floors and imagine they were shredding like their virtual skater on the screen. No complicated button presses needed, thank you very much.
