@Beurkeek@peoplemaking.games I personally had no idea this existed. Looks like the player used the d-pad with their chin and then inhaled or exhaled with the tube for the A and B buttons? I don't understand how start and select worked. I did a brief search, but couldn't find if Nintendo Power covered this controller at all.
You might have luck contacting a YouTuber (or even eBay seller) if you just need a photo.

@scribblemacher@mstdn.games Pretty much, here's what we wrote about the Hands Free Controller for our presentation: "This device was placed or strapped on the player's chest, and input worked in two ways: Players moved the joystick with their chin and instead of pressing buttons, they would move air through a tube. Sipping or puffing with more or less force would then be registered by the system as A, B, Select or Start input. As a side note, this same "sip and puff" system is still used today, which you’ll see when we talk about the QuadStick." Reaching out to YouTubers and/or sellers is good advice, thank you!
