multiple 4 ways

<< < (5/5)

IntruderAlert:
thanks for pointing that out
the only other thing holding me back is the total cost of the sticks plus the interface
I'm planning a 4 player panel and was trying to decide if I should curve it like the slikstik quad
or put them all straight across so that i could do simultaneous two player dual-stick games
but right now I'm still wondering how many simultaneous two player dual-stick games exist

Flinkly:
yeah...cost.  just remember that for each joystick you need to have an interface, so that would be 4 interfaces for 4 joysticks.  but if you look at this from anothe perspective, your taking care of several joysticks in one.  first, you'll be able to play 4 player games in any "way" (2/4/8 way).  second, you'll be able to play two player dual joystick games in any "way" (cept the top fire joystick stuff...unless you got the tron handles...but that is just added expense).  third, you'll be able to play any normal 2 player games in any "way".  and last, you'll be able to play any 1 player game in any "way".

i'm only going to use this in a two player single joystick setup, but so far i'm hooked.  i'm just waiting now till i need them, then i'll buy my two interfaces.

It's not how many, it's how good.  The important ones are Smash TV and Robotron- if you can live without those (I can't), then you can live without support for simultaneous two player dual-stick games.  If you want to play either of those, then you need it.  Any other games this gets you are just a bonus.

spidermonkey:
"Cloak & Dagger" is another good reason for having this setup along with the two must haves that Kremmit brought up.

paigeoliver:
I am actually a fan of playing the newer puzzle games with 4-way sticks. Most of them play better with them. Not sure if that is reason enough to have a pair of them though.
