8bitjoystick.com Review Mad Catz Xbox Live Arcade Retro Stic

[matejkh]

But will it blend?

[makedaevilmage]

its prolly designed by a guy that wanks with his left hand lawl ... expains the stick that's on the left side

[WheeWhoo456]

I have an HDMI cable from MadCatz... It's shit

[xy274]

Every mad cats controller i buy always breaks.

[boogityboy]

How exactly does one "dominate" dig-dug LOL.

Agreed though Madcatz makes absolute garbage with exception of their TE series fighting sticks, but that's because it's not really madcatz parts being used in 85% of the thing.

[RideThatKona]

SAUSAGE FINGERS! COOK EM UP ON THE BBQ! OLD SOUTH STYLE!

[hchen1231]

You can tell your girlfriend to suck on that to practice BJ...

[RideThatKona]

@hchen1231 dude she would expect way too much from him... maybe cut the stick in half once or twice..

[AnthonyPhoeng123]

microsoft actually cares about ther controllers

and most madcatz controllers break all the fucking time

i wasted 40 dollars on one and the right,left bumpers,and the joystick's click doesnt work which means in MW2 no smetex,stun grenade,and sprinting

I recomend the regular controllers dont buy madcatz controllers,ever!

[sitbaknblaze]

I got parred with it in a deal, ;/

[sitbaknblaze]

Got this I hear you it's utter swag.tryed playing sf wid dis,no micro switches no gate jus plasticy bull crap.

[mitch94560]

lol did any1 here move ur hand????

[dam1r1989]

@mitch94560 3:03

[cyagnusxi]

spinners? the best game ever.. WARLORDS!!!!

[LurkingCrassZero]

Ha, this is just a joypad with a VERY long thumb stick! What a POS. I'm suprised they get away with calling this a 'stick' It looks lke shite as well.

[petnamedk]

Hey, if i'm not satified I at least get 3 games to play with my regular controller. And maybe try out the spinner.

[kx10ngk]

i havent trust madcatz every since those shitty controllers, and charger for gameboy, fck madcatz waste of money, if u want to waste ur money on their shit product that break easy, might well just throw ur regular control at the wall

[TONYLOVESU]

Cool, I'm going to pick one of these up for STREETFIGHTER 4, I'll be like unbeatable with it!

[lilgoldfish]

@TONYLOVESU LOL made my day

[FOSxPwnage21]

does it have turbo for all buttons?>?

[nattygrasn]

lol cool review ^^

[62ajj62]

heres a future tip bud "if it is made by madcatz it will be a bad product overall" i wuz about to get it buy i saw it was made by madcatz an thank god i didnt waste my money

[xxxAznSkater45xxx]

can you use on any xbox 360 game

[4tinjo]

why are there weed leaves on the table?

[Graaaainy]

why not? :)

[Elemenopee129]

those are maple leafs tard.

[dtowndontbl1nk]

Is the button on top of the joystick a turbo button? like does it hit A repeatedly?

[neogeon]

I knew that thing was a total piece of shit the minute I saw it. I took one look and said "you gotta be kiddin me!"

[FTM2K9]

haha what a shitter

[kaizen05]

lol...an analog with a stick...

[MrNick2D]

I remember using this "thing" once and I ended up taking it apart and actually removing the two sticks completely so now they are just the little metal bars that hold the grip for the stick and I must say this controller if you wish to call it that now works great for most fighting games, but not to well for Street Fighter 4.

[rooneye]

"It looks awesome" - What? It looks shit. You can tell how bad it is just from looking at it.

[clogger3030]

You would have to be a damn idiot to buy this shit.

[xraytech]

"I dominate on Dig Dug!!!"

Ha Ha Ha!!!

Good review BTW.

[voltz15]

You got yourself a controller board if you want to mod a real arcade stick with it, best solution for bypassing that AUTHORIZED bullcrap M$ keeps shoving down everybody's throat.

[deVall3y]

good review. a little more anger and you can go angry video game nerd

[pimpbot78758]

Yeah looks like crap, your better off just building your own if you know how. Like that tray you showed the joystick on 420

[filetitan]

yeah, those guys usually just make crap.

[jokerman93]

every madcatz product i've ever seen is a piece of shit

[dgarcia626]

4 real they make some bullshit controllers and accessories, im pissed that they made the street fighter 4 arcade stick even though its looks bad ass

[aboxguitar]

Its being made with the actual sanwa parts from the SF4 arcade cabinet, you have NOTHING to worry about it. Its not the usual MadCatz crap.

[darkistfurybear]

the whisper at 3:03 was MOVE YOUR HAND, and does anyone notice the weed leaves on the table 420 yeah

[grassroots15]

shits maple leaves man

[11davies11]

can you play normal xbox 360 games with this, or can you only use it on arcade games?

[redsafters]

yes, you can play any xbox game with this. i asked my dad to get me an arcade stick and he got this and i play soul calibur 4 better with it. i dont know why but i think the bigger buttons makes it easier for me so i kind of like this thing and its like an extra controller.

[Lacktardo]

3:04 Did I hear a friend whispering something ?

[BassManiac07]

ya lol, I did too.

[samuelbell1990]

you can you it for mame to

[gowplayer2]

haha i hate mad catz. they make the worst shit.

[regardsgiveway]

you're right... one of the biggest wastes of my money ever... BUT... i actually learned how to play gears of war with it... and it was a great way to insult the other team after owning them "hey... ya know that stupid arcade joystick controller... yes... i just owned you with it"

pinkies to aim and shoot... right ring finger to reload... and yeah

blah... so glad i got rid of it... too bad i bought it when it was mad expensive

at least i got two crappy live arcade games with it

blah!@

[morgangamer22]

COOL

[geckoflakes2]

dont listen to this nut job i got one of these bought for me and i have no problem using it on any of my 360 games this man is just biased

[Hal0Duty4]

its awsome bitch

[prodigyxl3600]

can u play doom with this?

[Lockerhaxor]

It's just a remote. It just looks different. So yeah you can play.

[van2cool]

no its awsome i have one he dosent know how to hold it. to press the buttons rap your hand around the top right corner and press the buttons with your thumb dumbass

[kiwlh]

good idea, also he should do a side-by side of him with regular controller and that piece

[geckoflakes2]

well if u say this arcade stick is so rubbish why dont u actually show us some gameplay with it instead of moaning about it and fiddling with it

[Tenspeeder]

The PSone had an incredible arcade stick; I use it when I play arcade style games on my PS2.

Did you get a chance to try out the retro pad for the PSone or PS2? You know, the one that looks like an NES pad?

I'd love to see reviews on both pads from you if you ever come across them.

[stafax]

thanks for the great review. There are tons of classic games on these newer consoles, and there are plenty of us who want the retro feel as well. Cash in products like this are just exploiting those who want to just have fun. Thanks for exposing this bad product.

I have a Street Fighter 15th Anniversary arcade stick for PS2/Xbox, and it is very high quality and great. We need another high quality arcade stick for these current gen consoles.

[P9t2r]

looks like a piece of total crap

[P9t2r]

looks like a piece of total crap

[bobmantan]

why would you buy tht its so crapy looks crap is crap but yeah go ahead and buy it faggot

[WebVMan]

I barely own Mad Catz products, but all mine are awesome.

[3francis]

"I dominate in DigDug", what a fucking loser.

[P9t2r]

you can tell look howfat his fingers are and notice the chip bag on the side. he obviously lives in a basement cause of the old ass look

[DennisMindreci]

thats gay

[toptenmaterial]

Part of the reason why the NES took off back in the day was that it introduced the standard pad controller. Joysticks went out because standard 

gameplay can often be done better by a regular controller. Try playing the 7800 and then the NES and you'll see what I mean.

[wanderingk]

Ha! Say that to the guys who dominate yearly at the Tougeki Super Battle Opera in Japan. You can't play really high level fighting games with a gamepad.

[IbiosnakeI]

i dont think thay have thought that one through at all!

[meh88]

Mad catz brands usually suck. I owned one for my Gamecube controller back in the day. Everything was fine, except the D-pad so unbelievably unresponsive. Like if you try to press "up" it will usually register as "up-left" or "up-right". And you know how it broke? The fuckin connector malfunctioned...

[Daniel55679Games]

nice dog...

[HelioIgnus]

You had really high hopes for that? It's made by MadCatz! I have never owned a MadCatz controller that wasn't terrible in some way. Madcatz = BadCatz

[RichardZERO]

Thanks for saving me $60. I thought it looked unique, but upon further review of the layout, it'd play like shit. Furthermore the MSRP is $40, but EB is selling it for $60(plus tax). The only reason I can think of for buying one is to punish your friends that come over and want to play 360 with you.

[mastablasta24]

wow at my local target there 24 bucks

[pyro2393]

does anyone know if i can buy this in B.C. Canada or is it only in States?

[felpa99]

ur stupid man

[elmalhermano]

i want to see someone playing halo or even gears of war with that shit hahahaha freakin frustrating

[loomp]

Get the XCM XFPS PRO to play old Arcade sticks

anything made by Mad Catz (Gamestop too) is

Garbage, only buy Hori or Asciiware brand.

[assmanbbq]

That joystick sucks!

[Neoandroid]

good review.
