Microsoft just revealed a couple of custom Xbox controllers that will give a new meaning to the term "hairy palms." Xbox and Paramount Pictures have teamed up to create a couple of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 inspired controllers that are made to remind you of Sonic and Knuckles. These were made to be included as part of a new sweepstakes where you could win a custom Xbox Series S console and these Xbox Wireless Controllers.
Unlike the two controllers, the custom Xbox Series S has no fur on it. In fact, it is just a custom graphic design depicting a big golden ring above an embossed Sonic the Hedgehog 2 logo. I feel like this was a real missed opportunity here. They could have made the Xbox Series S look like Tails, complete with his twin tails sticking out of a vent so that when the system is on they would blow around from the fans.
The controllers themselves have a "textured coating reminiscent of the 'bristly' texture of hedgehogs in the wild." The controllers come in either Sonic Blue or Knuckles Red.
That top image in this news post should be plenty cursed enough for you, but I've also included the other shot with the console pictured.
