Being reduced to the joystick sucks on old fighting games and beatemups. A toward-toward-punch becomes a nightmare.
BUT, I have no better recommendation. This is way better than my previous gamepad.

I also have the Wingman Rumblepad. I got it mainly to play flying games like Rogue Squadron while also being able to use it with emulators. The D-pad is not acceptable for side-scrollers imho. The reason some programs recognize the D-pad as a "hat" is because it is: this is a flying-game joystick more than a gamepad. It even comes with a throttle control on the top. For games like Rogue Squadron, it works great. I find that using the joystick for side-scrollers, shooters, etc. for SNES, Genesis, and earlier games works just fine. But, for fighting games it would not be ideal.
One other comments about this controller: it's built fairly sturdy. The joystick do seem flimsy, but the casing could take numerous across-the-room throws. |
