It was first released in [[Japan]] in 1997, and was later released in [[North America]] in 1998. It is a vibration-feedback controller, meaning that it shakes in appropriate situations during a game. The name comes from the fact that it has two vibration motors. The motors are in the handles of the controller. ==References== {{reflist}} {{PlayStation}} {{video-game-stub}} [[Category:PlayStation (brand)]] [[Category:Video game controllers]]
