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

Looks like you get XBLA downloads with it too

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?

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.

I think it will be perfect for fighting games.

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?

I THINK 'MOVIE GALLERY' WILL BE RENTING '360' GAMES IN ABOUT A MONTH, SO WE'LL SEE.........BUT I'M REALLY NOT INTO FIGHTING GAMES.

That Joystick will be good with Old Timers & with Pac Man & Ms Pac Man & a few other old XBLA Games
