--- Quote ---I want to play both classics and fighters with two people so instead of having 3 controls or 1 8way, 1 4way, just use something that switches. It saves space and looks good. --- End quote --- Ooooh.. 3 joysticks...too much. See the problem here is the assumption that the panel was not thought out. There were very primitive top switchable arcade sticks, but at the same time, I also bare in mind that when you are dealing with mechanics, repeated switching can cause issues. Who knows, maybe not, but I can live with having the 4-way and 8-way separate. Matter of fact, I prefer it, because a 4-way should be played with a ball top and a 8 way should have a bat top. Or do you switch those too? Also it is the nature of the J-stick vs a competion/super/rotary type feel. I can't imagine playing both the exact same way just to make things "pretty". I personally think it is a pain not knowing what mode your arcade stick is in. What a frickin bother! Why not just step to the middle...which again is more natural, for the 4 way games that were originally played that way?? Don't like spinner games. Your loss. Spinner games are a must for me. Your right though, different strokes. Too many buttons seem cluttered to you. Well thank god for freedoms. The extra buttons are not only essential for my games which I took alot of time thinking out, but also have been a added benefit for computer games. A trackball with a topfire is a must. The whole thing has worked out so nicely and has given my panel a whole new demention. Playing Call Of Duty/Doom 3/F.E.A.R. would not be possible on a smaller setup. Being full grown, the extra room, and extra benefits like having dual Joysticks for stuff like Smash TV is the BOMB to play with friends. Something entirely missed on the "pretty" crowd. My panel does it all...many others fall short...way short. But again, thank god for freedom...even if it is freedom to be mediocre. ;D |
