Two games technically (Arm Wrestling and SPO), but AW is even less common than SPO, and uses a 2-way restrictor rather than a 4-way. This is the reason I thought we'd never see a reproduction SPO joystick.

I got one from Mike in the mail yesterday. I haven't had a chance to try it out in the SPO machine yet but everything seems to be in order. No complaints with the quality. It feels just like an original Nintendo joystick.

I think Mike is planning to offer it as a conversion kit; so if you already have a Nintendo joystick kicking around, that would be a cheaper option.

Oh well.  The wallet loves this hobby, heh.

Just noticed that mikesarcade now has a conversion kit for only $35 to convert your Punch-Out!! joystick to Super Punch-Out!!.

2600:
Yeah, I made a comment on that somewhere.  I have a SPO stick, but went ahead and picked that up a few months ago.

I need to get back to this project.

stealthie:
I'm interested in when this kit will be available.
