Did you know SEGA of muttmerica ruined the Power Stick by swapping the microswitch underpinnings of the stick for a rubber membrane on a contact board? I thought that was interesting.
A 3-button arcade stick has no use regardless.
>>12303549Just import a Jap one. They did the same thing with the 6 button stick too. Only Japan gets microswitches.
They already knew high quality parts would be wasted on credit feeding western insects.
>>12303552This came out pre-fighting game boom, kiddo, and that's the only genre that would need more.The Mega Drive used a three-button controller and most of Sega's arcade cabinets were three-button as well, so this was peak performance at the time and a top-tier Atari-compatible stick too.
>>12303549I guess I probably knew that but never thought about it because I don't use garbage to play games.
>>12303635A 3-button arcade stick has no use.
>>12303549I was told that too sometime in the late 90s. I was expecting NES Advantage feel, but the person mentioned in Japan they were different. So in the early 2000s, I got to try out this 6-button one in the Junk section and it does have that clicky feel, and thought it was worth the $2. It is surprisingly better than you'd expect.
Rent free.
>>12303582At this point just buy an adapter and use a decent modern stick if you already have one, or hell you could build one if you were so inclined.
>>12303549I dunno, I got one from a 2nd hand store and it has a clicky stick, its a pal version.>>12303671Snes advantage has to be the worst stick, the buttons feel like crap but they also get jammed sometimes.>>12303682But I like to pretend I'm a rich Japanese guy from the 90's who brought every system while other people still had Atari. With the neogeo stick I often wonder the circumstances of the person who brought it.
>>12303723>Snes advantage has to be the worst stick, the buttons feel like crap but they also get jammed sometimes.This also happens with the NES advantage, At least the super nintendo one looks cool.
>>12303549Yes, I did know that, as I have posted about it on /vr/.
>>12303665By that logic, the controller that shipped with the system has no use either.
sega was for black people
>>12303808white kids with alcoholic father's System
>>12303789No. As an arcade stick, it has no use. This is irrefutable.
>>12303552>Jamma standard has no use for arcade games Moron
>>12303947I'm right. You're wrong. Just get over it already.
>>12303549Would this have saved the SEGA Saturn though?
aieeee
>>12303594cope harder gook
Can't believe Konami made the same mistake SIX times on one cabinet.Did they not understand it's useless?
>>12303907I used it as a kid because i liked the bigger buttons, so worked fine for me.
NeoGeo's had 4 buttons, but SNK forgot to tell developers since most games forgot about the fourth.
>>12304404You can't use the Power Stick with that game. Your point is irrelevant, as well as stupid, just like you.
>>12304123This is the perfect fighting game setup. You can hate it but that's a objective fact.
>>12305721I can with mame and a usb adapter.
>>12305713It didn't work fine, you're in denial.>>12305739You're still stupid.
>>12303665>>12303907How many arcade games have you actually played? Outside of fighting games, most arcade games use only 1-2 buttons, not counting "start".
>>12306324I have played 2164 arcade games and have rated them all individually.The ones with 1-2 buttons are not worth playing.
>>123057175 buttons in practice, because fighting games used the start button for taunt, which was a useful mechanic in several of them.
>>12303665>A 3-button arcade stick has no use.3 action buttons and one start button was pretty normal for Sega arcade games in the mid 1980's. The Mega Drive launched in 1988.
Altered Beast was the default pack-in Game for the Genesis up till the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 1.
>>12306615>>12306620Don't you like playing good games instead of this bullshit?
>>12306601In Art of Fighting it's so important it actually uses one of the 4 non-start buttons.But yeah, there are roughly a billion arcade shmups/bmups/puzzle/platformer/etc games that can be played on a 3 button arcade stick. It's mostly fighting games that required 4 - 6 buttons more often than not. Even then, there are some 3-button fighters like Virtua Fighter, Pocket Fighter, World Heroes, Akatsuki Blitzkampf, etc.

>>12308257You're an idiot.
>>12308282Name calling instead of refuting. Cope harder!
>>12308257What games are worth playing?
>>12308434Fun games, obviously. Are you an idiot?
>>12308501You obviously are
>>12308516You actually asked me to define a game worth playing, as if you don't already know.
>>12308501Any specific examples?
>>12308543I thought I knew but you said Mars Matrix is not worth playing so I'm not sure anymore.
>>12303549Why though? To save a penny?
>>12310085Probably more like a quarter, and yes.

>>12304035what a fucking retard lmao
>>12303549These and the Nintendo ones were done by ASCII. Cost-cutting measure to offset international shipping and prevents components running dry in the domestic Japanese arcade market, from what I understand. Even their later ones like pic related or the PS1 and Saturn sticks they never fully committed to making both the stick and buttons with microswitches outside Japan.
>>12303671Oh my god its this fucking loser. Every god damn thread with your faggot handwriting. Nobody replies to you. Nobody likes you. Fuck off already. Literally you have been at this for almost a DECADE. you were posting this shit while i finished college AND grad school and yet here you are with your little faggot notes all this time later.How fucking depressing get a life.
