Picked up a Sansui SSS Joycard for my Famicom
Its design is similar to the Nes-004 or the regular Hudson Joycard: It’s a rectangle with buttons low on the front. It doesn’t have the sharp edges of the Nes-004, and it is slightly larger.
It has a headphone jack on the bottom which is nice. The extra weight and depth feels wonderful.

This is my favorite Famicom controller so far.
Bizarrely, they made a NES version too with an audio cable jack and nes input.

Shame they don’t have the Hudson bee like the other Joycards.

Nice to see the ol’ PAL controller getting some love.

Could be useful to people with dissabilites!

It actually matches up with default emulator keyboard mappings, ZXCV and the arrow keys.

So I guess it’s a controller for people who only ever played a snes in emulation.

I picked up on of these and it is a similar metal framed retro arcade stick with six buttons.
The buttons are nice, but the stick isn’t the greatest, unfortunately that’s the harder thing to replace in it. :confused:

I tried a famicom joyball.
It’s like a joystick, but it’s a ball instead of a stick so you kind of hold it by gripping down on it.
It looks like it would be terrible, but it’s actually suprising good for most things.
It works well with shooters and beatemups, but is uncomfortable for platform games.

Yo, is the Hori Tekken 5 (USA ver.) PS2 stick worth it for $45? All the other PS2 sticks I’ve seen are really just PS1-output which isn’t compatible with a lot of PS2 games. & Real Arcade Pros are like a billion dollars these days

p.s. it’s hideous

All the parts are Hori parts, so it’s not as good as a Sanwa or Seimitsu HRAP, but it’s ā€˜ok’.

Is this a good thread to ask for fighting stick advice? I need something I can play Tekken 7 with, on the PC. I’d like to spend less than a hundred dollars on it but it seems that’s impossible. So I guess recommend me a stick I can’t go wrong with and that I don’t have to mod? That would be very much appreciated!

I would grab an old 360/PS3 fightstick by Hori or MadCatz. The parts in those are solid. There’s a WWE brawlstick on ebay right now for $50. It’s ugly but you rip the sticker off.

Some of those sticks also have the correct dimensions for arcade parts so you can swap out the stick and buttons for a Sanwa set if you like. This is incredibly easy to do.
