Title: Donkey Kong 4 way Joystick
Post by: Coin_Op on May 22, 2008, 12:16:10 am

Hey~
 
Anyone by chance have a 4 way Nintendo Stick they want to sell? :)

I have thought about getting a sanwa JLF but I have read that they suck in 4 way.

Mike's Arcade (http://www.mikesarcade.com) sells a replica (edit: will sell in one in the future) and an original.

Can you link to the replica page on Mike's arcade?

I didn't know it was for sale yet either.

Don't think its ready yet... last I heard he was still waiting on the sticks... I've been waiting on this one too.

I wasn't aware that it wasn't available yet (since it's nothing I need). I just linked to his site because last I'd heard, he was going to sell one.

I would wait for Mikes stick because the 8 way Nintendo have a shorter stick,smaller nonreplaceable ball and you have to replace the 8 way restrict or plate. Quarterarcade has 8 ways for sale $25.00 ea. You could buy one and a restrictor plate, you would still need a long stick. I have an extra stick but no ball top,but videogameparts.com has both.Any questions pm me and I'll help as much as I can.

Thanks for all the info.

Well, I think I might wait for mikes new one.

After browsing this forum, I see that I'm not alone on my quest for the 4-way nintendo.

I think Mike will have some orders to fill for this thing for sure as he will be the only source(time being)for a faithful reproduction :woot
