Behold!

We finally get a controller with a real goddamn D-pad! Sure, it looks like it's being made by Mad Catz, but still. D-PAD!

So, either use the original, crappy d-pad or buy something from Mad Catz?

360 owners can't win, can they?

Kinda old, Shin Oni brought this up a while ago.

Well this is the first I've heard of these! I'll definitely pick up a PS3 one... just have to decide between Ryu and Akuma

I searched before posting. Must have missed it somehow.

Yeah, Shin Oni stays on top of this shit for all of us pretty much. They may be MadCatz but they are the official controllers. The 150 arcade stick they are making uses the actual arcade components.

Cataract

Honestly, try using the analog stick on the 360 controller for fighting games. It's not half bad.

Pretty cool. I like the Saturn style.

I r so getting it <3

Mentok the Mindtaker

even if was the best quality d-pad around its still a full circle d-pad and those things chew ass for fighting games....... fail

Cowboy TTop

Madcatz, you guys are the mutts? Two 360 birds will be beaten to death with this beauty.

Dibs on a Chun Li pad. My sweaty, blistered fingers all over her...lol.

Yata!

Butmac

B-b-but it doesnt have the defined + like a d-pad should have! it still looks like a circle that tilts around :(

I'll trust Upgrayedd's opinion though when he gets it.

about me

... for a double dose. (Yes, I stole it from Idiocracy. Go watch it if you haven't.)

Anyway, I'm currently a student at Oklahoma State University (News Editorial Journalism). I'm a Copy Editor for the Daily O'Collegian (the student newspaper). http://www.ocolly.com

I'm also treasurer of the Gamers of OSU.

We're an official student organization dedicated to video games.

Other than sit around and bullshit about games, we (try to) host a LAN party each month. If you're in Oklahoma feel free to check us out. We host weekly meetings at 7:00 p.m. on Monday in Business building room 109 (OSU campus). Or stop by our forums in the link above.
