August 22^nd, 2002 (12:00am) - Madcatz is to release a line of new "smaller" controllers for all platforms this September. the new line of controllers are said to be 20 percent more smaller then the average controller for all consoles. The price range for such respective hardware will cost anywhere from $24.99 to $14.99.

Mad Catz developed its MicroCON controllers, to make the product more
user-friendly for gamers with smaller hands and to provide greater comfort
and control for all gamers.
"Since introducing its MicroCON controllers at E3, Mad Catz has received
rave reviews for developing an extremely comfortable solution for younger
gamers and gamers who favor a more compact controller" said Darren
Richardson, President and COO of Mad Catz. "Since the smaller MicroCON
controllers share the same features as the standard controllers for which
Mad Catz is famous, they are perfect for gamers who want to remain
competitive."

My thoughts:
What the? the Gamecube controller somehow getting SMALLER? ugh... are you sure this is a good idea?
