NOT SURE HOW THIS DESIGN WILL WORK.......SEEMS A BIT UNBALANCED.....BUT IT COULD WORK BETTER THAN THE STANDARD CONTROLLER, FOR XBLA TITLES. :up:

I used to have a joystick for my Genesis and one for my 64, but I never really used them that much, I don't see the benefit. They're not really that comfortable, and they don't have some weird super button that unlocks special moves that you can't do with your normal controller, so I mean, why buy it? :confused:

because arcade sticks are far better for the games that they were designed for. the d-pad is just a cheap suppliment for game pads. a bad stick can be more harm than good tho. now they seem to have just lengthened an analog stick which isn't going to give you that digital control that's needed.

no it won't you need discrete 8 way control for fighting games. you need the feed back of hitting a micro switch. could have been great but they screwed it up. might be good for geometry wars tho.

I WONDER IF THE 'DOA4' ARCADE PAD WORKS WITH OTHER FIGHTING GAMES? :confused:
