Nes and Snes Advantage were good for arcade style games though.

I prefer a D-pad over a stick tbh.

[Anonymous No.2600050]

Yeah.
I liked the Advantage, but frankly, big sticks feel strange and awkward to me.
I prefer a Dpad or thumb analog stick.

[Anonymous No.2600172]

Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

The super advantage is built like a fucking tank. I hurt myself taking mine apart to clean. Having said that the membrane based stick means you might as well just use a pad and the buttons get stuck in the holes

I know this won't get believed, but you know the little girl that was on the commerical for that controller? I dated her when she was of age (Amy Hunter).

Vapid, but nice butt. The controller commerical was her first gig.

I think he's talking about how normal controllers use rubber domes under the buttons to make contact with the pcb whereas standard arcade buttons use microswitches.

Didn't know the snes advantage used domes though personally but I think the nes one uses them so it shouldn't be much of a surprise.

The negcon is unarguably the best racing game controller pretty much ever (all wr times on wipeout games are done with them) so i'm not sure what you're saying.

[Anonymous No.2606440]

>>2606436
Wipeout has weird floaty physics that NegCon is particularly suited for. That doesn't make it inarguably anything.

What makes it so good for Wipeout?

[Anonymous No.2606448]

>>2606440
Ah the ignorance, it's also the choice for ridge racers and all racing games on ps1 and those which support it on 2 and that's a fact. You obviously arn't familiar with high level playing but good luck matching any decent players negcon times trust me you won't be holding those lines tapping a dpad.

ah yes... the SNES Disadvantage Controller... Did ANYONE ever enjoy this?

[Anonymous No.2606462]

>>2606441
>What makes it so good for Wipeout?
You can hold super tight perfect lines and corner much faster with nose tipping independently compared with a dpad where you have to constantly tap and are limited to awkward thumb sliding to try steering and nose control at the same time and the such which will have you bleeding times as it simply is impossible to match the negcons dual function. Pretty much everyone i know who switched to negcon broke all their pb times shortly after they got used to it. It's the same with pad vs steering wheel in arcade racers like outrun 2 the top pad times are around 10 seconds slower than best wheel times consistently again because of the lines you can hold with analogue steering wheels.

[Anonymous No.2606470]

>>2606462
Can't you just use an analog controller?

[Anonymous No.2606475]

>>2606470
No because just like a dpad the nose tipping (up/down/diagonals) is on the same stick as left and right steering. On the negcon you control steering with the twist and the nose with the separate dpad so there is nothing that compares if you are playing at a high level. Go check the records and it becomes quite evident.

[Anonymous No.2606478]

Also im kind of stunned just how clueless people here are especially over an established 20 year old game, to many trendy nostalgic retro dildos and not enough actual players.

[Anonymous No.2606530]

>The negcon is unarguably the best racing game controller pretty much ever ... so i'm not sure what you're saying.

I can phantom+pirhana wins with a regular d-pad but never mastered racing with the negcon (maybe didn't give it enough of a chance).

What I'm saying is non-racing.

Say Tekken 3 -> here's your negcon 2P -> eat a bowl of hot fuck as you try to press the analogue red I and II buttons.

I actually owned this as a kid. My dad got it for some reason and I was so hyped, because I was like 8 and imagined it like the characters in-game would do exactly what you do inside the circle, and you could even make up your own moves and shit or do stuff that wasn't possible in the original game, like make sonic punch an enemy out of the way or something.

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed when I actually tried it.
