license to use it was granted; however, the launch had to be cancelled at the last minute.

The reason? The ads featured the slogan, “Touch Woody – The Internet Pecker”. An American at the internal
product launch had explained to the stunned and embarrassed Japanese what “touch woody” and “pecker”
meant in American slang

Sounds like it was simply a joystick addition to a pc.
