What’s the best way to improve the hands-free experience of the Kinect? Add a controller of course! The forward thinking minds over at Twisted Pixel have announced that through a partnership with Home Depot they will be bringing you the first controller for the Kinect: the marionette controller for Gunstringer! This Pine Round Dowel brings you the feel and texture of professional marionetting. As you know, marionetting can be pretty extreme but Twisted Pixel has assured us that this professional grade pine can withstand the greatest of stresses associated with virtual marionetting. Here’s what Mike Wilford, CEO of Twisted Pixel Games and member of Home Depot’s Home Improvers Club, has to say:
This groundbreaking partnership with Home Depot truly ushers in a new era of controller-free controller gaming. When Barry from Home Depot’s lumber section told me about the ‘rustic flair’ and ‘attractive wood grain’, I knew instantly that we had to get these rods into the hands of marionette aficionados everywhere
Official Marionette Monthly also had some kind words:
With The Gunstringer Marionette Handle Controller, I can finally experience the feeling of hard wood clenched in my hands without having to visit a seedy downtown performance venue.
If you’re excited about this, you’re in luck. The Gunstringer Marionette Handle Controller is available today at all Home Depot stores for $2.17. Can’t get out to a Home Depot? Order online here. Accept no substitutes because only the authorized handle controllers work with Gunstringer.
