Peripheral manufacturer Mad Catz is to release Bioforce.
Bioforce is a PlayStation 2 controller that gives out mild electric shocks at key moments during play.
The idea is to temporarily paralyse the player's hands during in-game events such as a car crash or fighting sequence.
Mad Catz stresses it will carry out extensive medical testing before the product hits the market later in the year.
President Darren Richardson says: "Biostimulation of muscles has been around for years.
"It causes the muscles to contract and gives you a sensation that makes it difficult to move your hand. It really works well with fighting games."
Hit to leg: Mild numbing.
Hit to arm: Same.
Hit to middle section: Brief Heart Attack.
Hit to Head: Brain Damage, usuall temporary.
Hit to "other": Impotence.
