Picked up a Sansui SSS Joycard for my Famicom
Its design is similar to the Nes-004 or the regular Hudson Joycard: Itā€™s a rectangle with buttons low on the front. It doesnā€™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 donā€™t have the Hudson bee like the other Joycards.

Could be useful to people with dissabilites!

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

So I guess itā€™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 isnā€™t the greatest, unfortunately thatā€™s the harder thing to replace in it. :confused:

I tried a famicom joyball.
Itā€™s like a joystick, but itā€™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 itā€™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 Iā€™ve seen are really just PS1-output which isnā€™t compatible with a lot of PS2 games. & Real Arcade Pros are like a billion dollars these days

p.s. itā€™s hideous

All the parts are Hori parts, so itā€™s not as good as a Sanwa or Seimitsu HRAP, but itā€™s ā€˜okā€™.

Is this a good thread to ask for fighting stick advice? I need something I can play Tekken 7 with, on the PC. Iā€™d like to spend less than a hundred dollars on it but it seems thatā€™s impossible. So I guess recommend me a stick I canā€™t go wrong with and that I donā€™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. Thereā€™s a WWE brawlstick on ebay right now for $50. Itā€™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.
