Deadpool and Wolverine come to life on the new Xbox controllers
The Marvel Universe never ceases to surprise its fans, and the latest film “Deadpool & Wolverine” is the perfect example. On the occasion of the release of this highly anticipated movie, Microsoft has decided to celebrate the event with two truly unique Xbox controllers dedicated to the film’s protagonists.
The first to make its appearance was the Cheeky Controller for Deadpool, an object as unusual as it is distinctive. The most talked-about feature? The backside of the famous antihero, which is on the back of the controller. This element, a removable magnet, has intrigued fans who wondered if it was soft to the touch. As revealed by Xbox, it is made of hard plastic: the most interesting aspect of this gadget isn’t its ergonomic function, but rather the idea of bringing a piece of Deadpool’s character directly into the players’ hands.
Of course, a tribute to Wolverine was also inevitable. The controller dedicated to the adamantium clawed mutant follows the same pattern as Deadpool’s Cheeky Controller but with colors and textures inspired by his iconic yellow and blue suit. This model, with details that recall Wolverine’s costume, is a must-have for fans of the character.
These controllers are not just gaming tools but real collector’s items. Unfortunately, they are not available for direct purchase now: fans will have to enter Xbox organized contests to get their hands on these unique pieces. This strategy not only builds anticipation and desire but also boosts engagement on social media.
What makes these controllers so special, besides their design? The ergonomic shape of the Xbox controllers is designed to ensure comfort even during long gaming sessions. The decision to add such distinctive elements, like Deadpool’s backside and Wolverine’s suit details, does not compromise on ergonomics but it adds a touch of personality that makes every gaming session a little more special.
In a market where gaming devices are becoming more and more similar, customization and originality are becoming differentiators. These controllers demonstrate how collaborations between major brands and popular franchises can lead to unique creations that go beyond just practical function, turning into true cult objects for fans.
