Scratch: The Ultimate DJ controller to rival DJ Hero’s

May 8th, 2009 Posted in Hardware, Music, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360

Just yesterday Activision gave us a first look at the controller for their upcoming DJ Hero title. Today, Kotaku has gotten their hands on some press images of the controller for competiting title Scratch: The Ultimate DJ.

As you can see, the controller is somewhat similar to DJ Hero’s since it has a turntable and a cross-fader but it also includes 5 colored buttons and was created by actual turntable maker Numark. Oh yeah, that turntable is also free spinning and touch-sensitive.

Now, there’s no telling when Scratch: The Ultimate DJ will be out but if it does actually hit store shelves DJ Hero is sure to get a run for its money.

Even with the missing counterpart it’s still had to determine which game has the cooler controller, DJ Hero, or Scratch: The Ultimate DJ. [...]
