Would flying to Japan and tracking down 4 of these in used game stores be cheaper than buying 4 of them online?

>>	Anonymous Sat May 16 22:16:45 2015 No.2407465 Call it a hunch, but I think just buying them online would be a bit cheaper than the $700 plane ticket.

I haven't actually played with one but I know games like Perfect dark can be a bit tricky with one. Everything else is fine.
I know there's no way I'd enjoy kirby with that controller too.

I'm sticking with originals with the stick adapter mod.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 16 23:25:01 2015 No.2407584 >>2407432 I wished it was a little more wider. Thing looks cramped as it is. Who the fuck decided that it was a good idea to make the start close to the B button?

>>	Anonymous Sat May 16 23:27:05 2015 No.2407587 >>2407582 >>2407584 Eh, it has fewer problems than the original does. The d-pad thing is a non-issue, since the d-pad is virtually useless.

>>2407590
every time I post it some faggot says the same thing without ever having held this controller in his whole fucking life.

I know it "looks" uncomfortable but when you actually hold it and start playing you won't notice any disadvantage coming from the original controller. I know that because I've been playing with this one for a long time. the only difference is that the radius for the controlstick is much wider as you can see. the dimensions as a whole are fine. you only won't feel much where your pinky and ringfinger are if you grip the middle handle but it's bearable. it becomes more of a claw grip instead.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 16 23:36:49 2015 No.2407605 >>2407585 >>2407602 The only controller I ever held that looked uncomfortable but was actually good was the Saturn 3d controller. That thing is a bad joke.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 16 23:37:32 2015 No.2407606 >>2407591 stupidest shit I've ever heard. you won't reach the start button like that at all because then the whole middle handle thing would be complete useless.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 16 23:39:01 2015 No.2407608 >>2407605 play it for a few hours and then we talk. in the meantime you got nothing on that controller.

ya, thats 1 thing, which is certainly the best gamecube style one, but it also means buying a shitty gamecube style one and pulling it apart, and soldering that new one together. by the time you buy a controller with a busted stick, the gamecube replacement, and the updated board from the guy in germany, you're probably pretty damn close to a hori mini pad anyways.

(not knocking the mod, i've got 4 myself, but literally everything else is trash)

Idk man Hori controllers are pretty pricy right now.

That said realistic ebay price you're probably paying like $60 in total per controller for the controller, and stuff needed for the mod.

If you got the controller already the mod is like $20 per controller.
