But there are other types of analog sticks, like these four from Happ:

For some games yes, others no. For example Road Runner plays pretty well, I could never get any where near as far without the 49-way. I even tried a PC analog stick and it (or I) seemed worse. On the other hand games like Star Wars, After Burner & Space Harrier could really use a 'real' analog stick.

What it comes down to is the type of control needed.
Using Star Wars as an example, the crosshairs need to move steadily throughout the entire game screen, for it to play well.
If you use a 49-way to play it, there are only 49 distinct positions on the screen that you can place the crosshairs, and they jump from one to the next.
Using an analog, you have THOUSANDS of positions for the crosshair, and the crosshair moves smoothly between them because the distance between them is much smaller.
Road Runner, on the other hand, has Fast/Medium/Slow in any given direction.
The 49-way works well because IT has Fast/Medium/Slow in any direction as well.
