Namco neGcon Review

We have all seen our fair share of shitty ass 3rd party controllers, but least namco had some balls to really try to do some innovative even if it looks sillier than hell by today's standards. I take a look back at the neGcon for PSone cause well, someone needs too :P

Forget about the JogCon it's useless as a controller, even with Ridge Racer 4 it's very poor and difficult to use well...I only have for it's novelty value

The NegCon is a must if your into the Wipeout series...I've been using a Negcon with Wipeout since 1996...I'm on my third one though as the analog button potentiometers always wear out

@panzr

I noticed that whenever i bought it, it feels like im gonna snap the wheel off just by fucking around with it. never a good thing

[uudrakgvens94]

great series of reviews¡¡¡ , and great controller , i will buy one for play f1 95 , y question is , u can use it ina ps2 with a ps1 game compatible with negcon?

[AlphaOmegaSin]

@uudrakgvens94

Yeah you can use it on ps2. ride racer supports it as does ace combat and the wipeout games i believe

"it's pretty fuckin' big."

That is unless you get a black Negcon, which is a lot smaller in profile. Problem is, they're rare and they're expensive -- unless you luck out like me and find a mint one on eBay for 44 bucks like I did about two weeks ago.

It's the ONLY way to play Wipeout.

I got mine in the box for 2.50 at a local store. i hate having to cough up a bunch of cash for controllers since im a cheap ass lol but i wouldn't mind having one just to mess with it. i still wish they had a better D pad though

[deathgod6661000]

can you tell me the name of the song from the intro it sounds cool

[HeadacheVillain]

A rather nifty little gizmo I must say...

[crisisintruth]

namco should make more controllers. dunno why they don't anymore cause they were really innovative

[wookiefable]

i got a namco controller for a ps1 from a pawn chop for 5 bucks its the ridge racer controller with a steering wheel its pretyy cool as soon as i saw it oh balss that kicks ass then went to a second pawn shop and got a ps1 console all cords working accept lid wouldnt close so just have to sit stuff on it great great day reminds me few monhs before same place got a sega master system 2 now have x3 rounded ones and 1 squarish 1 and bout 50 games i love your stuff !

OMG I HAD HEADPHONES EARS BLEEDING OMFG THE PAIIIINNNN!!!!!!!!!!! (love the intro though =P)

[Judgementxxx]

@Judgementxxx also it worked for Resident Evil.

[Judgementxxx]

I had the controller. The X button got stuck, terrible controller.

[MrCamouflash]

"Rally fucking deep!" :D

You seem to like the word Fuck as much as me! :D

[dreamingthelife]

@AlphaOmegaSin I don't understand why you go on about the D-Pad when the controller is designed for racing games where the twist is used for steering, I'd assume the D-Pad is there solely for menu navigation.

if you ever get into the wipEout series of games it is there that you will appreciate the neGcon, wipEout 2097 and wipEout 3SE are the best of the series imo

um.... interesting intro, almost had a heart attack, haha. great video!
