Bonus tip for collectors: This exact same controller exists for the 3DO and Sega Genesis as well. They're essentially the same on both systems however the Genesis version has a 'mode' button instead of a select button. Sega and 3DO had produced their own official six face button gamepad controllers at the time for each of their systems but Nintendo didn't. This makes the SNES version a bit more interesting in my opinion but their all worth trying out!
I had the Genesis one. It was pretty good.
rerez reviewed the controller i asked him about forever ago. does my profile picture give it away? this is another version of the controller. only a few differences most notably the shield d pad
The 3DO version is like £60 (about $95 at the minute) plus postage, on E-Bay in case anyone wondered, and AFAIK the only other real 2D fighting game with six inputs doesn't work with 6 button controls (Samurai Showdown, you still have to press two buttons to get hard slash and hard kick)
Thanks for the info shane. My fellow canadian.
I had the one for Genesis.
I bought this controller at EB in 1996/97. I used it for nearly every SNES game since. There is a 3DO version as well. Also, you're holding it wrong.
No, that's how you're supposed to hold these.
I'm pretty sure he's holding it right
Nope, using it wrong
I think whether he was holding it "right" or "wrong" solely depended on the game he was playing at the time.
Yo mama holds controllers wrong.
I have the Genesis version of this controller and I absolutely love how it was able to be a replacement for my broken 3 button controller. I'm able to use it for pretty much every Genesis game I have since it's basically a glorified 6 button controller.
What a weird looking controller. Then again, this channel covers weird controllers. Can't complain. Great vid.
>My wrist hurts just by watching you play with that thing......
My brother bought the Sega Genesis version for my birthday back in the day. It was beautiful and made Street Fighter play like a dream! I wish I still had it...
I had this for my Genesis when I was a kid. I never once considered using three fingers for the face buttons, always just used my thumb like any other controller. I liked it because the buttons we're smaller and closer together than the standard six-button Genesis controller. I also hated that the top three buttons on the standard controller were smaller than the bottom three.
What makes this video so interesting is the usage of word "interesting".
I actually own this controller!
It was pretty great, but the cable so SOOO short it drove me crazy.
Buy an extensor, I also own this controller, it's great for SF
i actually asked you about doing this video. there's actually another version of this controller that i had growing up. look at my profile pic. look familiar? XD
I bought the controller brand new at Walmart back in the day. It was surprising how the packaging (cardboard back with plastic blister stapled to it) seemed to be meant for the Japanese market, with Japanese writing on the front and back along with Super Street Fighter artwork. The controller had like 4 different names all over the packaging. The button layout works fine for platformers like Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World. I mostly used it with Killer Instinct. There were also Genesis (Megadrive) and 3DO versions. I never saw those at retail. My start/select buttons were gray, unlike yours. "ASCII" was somewhere on the package.
For the most part, i only use it for the fighting games, even the non-street fighter ones like TMNT Tournament Fighters and Fatal Fury 2
Yikes! Clean that gunk jammed in your DPad! 1:38
I got one of these back in the day and it's more of a collectors item than a legit input option. The trade off to the improved face buttons is that the controller is now supported almost exclusively with your left hand as opposed to being held by both hands. This made accurate D-pad motions more of a chore which is a poor trade off IMO. Better to stick with the standard pad and get use to only using two buttons intermittently.
This, along with the Genesis version, is compatible with the FM Towns Marty and the Sharp X68000 using the Capcom Power Stick Fighter adapter.
Awesome! I've had one of these in my controller collection for a long time... Always loved how weird it was!
Lovin the videos! Always informative! --Edited--
never trust an edited comment
and reply
My friend had that controller it was awesome! Love it for Killer Instinct!
Loved this controller. Can still remember putting in blitz inputs for final fantasy 3 on this.
Love that controller! Had one when they were first released and one of my cats chewed the cable. Took me over 10 years to find one again and it was straight from Japan.
I have all 3 variations of that controller. While that is Capcom's logo molded onto the plastic, the packaging for the (seemingly japanese exclusive) SNES version was that these controllers were in fact made by ASCII. It might be the same for the two JoySticks with capcom's logo on it.
I remember having a couple of those controllers. Electronics Boutique had a bunch of them for I recall $2.99 at the old Columbus OH City Center location in the mid 1990s. I used one of them but could never get used to how the pad felt, even while playing SFII. I gave the other one to my nephews when they lost one of their regular controls.
Don't remember what happened to my original, since that was at least 20 years ago...
This was the controller I have my friends back in the day when playing 2 player games.
I had two of these. I bought them specifically for Street Fighter Alpha 2, which was a very late release in the life of the SNES and still one of my favorite SNES games to this day. It's remarkable what they were able to do on that old hardware (though admittedly it did suffer from long loading times at the start of each round, likely due to the size of all the assets in the game and high res sprites etc.). Still, it was an awesome game and these controllers worked perfectly for it, especially for the super moves which required simultaneously pressing 2 or 3 buttons at the same time to pull off the level 2 and 3 supers accordingly (save for Akuma's Raging Demon, which required a quick button tab combination). I actually got used to playing regular games with this eventually after using it for SFA2 for so long and was even able to play Super Metroid among other more traditional titles with it. I seem to recall this controller being released specifically for Super SF2 for the SNES/Super Famicom and I recall seing the characters from that game on the card that it came in. It wasn't really necessary for that or any other fighter though since only Alpha 2 on the SNES had the super moves that necessitated the simultaneous 3 punch/3 kick button presses but it was still a nice setup to somewhat emulate the layout of an arcade board, and since I always preferred using a d-pad for fighters rather than a joystick, this was a perfect setup for me for my fighting games.
That totally looks comfortable
I had this for the genesis. I loved having the pistol grip on the left.
My friend had the Genesis version of this controller. As weird as it looks, I remember it being pretty good! Esp with Street Fighter.
Good vid! Even after all these years, I have not seen everything.
I own one of these. Though I did play SFII, I bought this controller for Killer Instinct. It was perfect.
"On an original Super Nintendo controller your index fingers would be pushing the shoulder buttons at the top."
Rerez really knows how to pad out a video
Yes. This video could have been 2 minutes long.
I had this controller for the Genesis. I found it to be a fantastic 3rd party controller. Not just for fighting games either. I actually used it as my primary controller during my time with the Genesis.
as for hardware compatibility, the plug is a bit too long for the SupaBoy, so if you're going to use the Capcom Pad Soldier on any Supaboy (Original, Supaboy S and Supaboy SFC), i recommend getting an extension cord as it will work that way.
It has existed since the 90's I had one for the genesis and it was perfect for every genesis game it was 5 bucks brand new at a swap meet
Nice find.
I don't know if Nintendo still makes them or not, but I had the Nintendo NES Advance controller. A headache joystick a square flat body some extra buttons for turbo and whatnot and a&b big buttons. They should make more it's more of a arcade-ish kind of style
I remember that control when I was a kid
I used to have that controler for the SNES
I used to have this back in the day and when you got used to it, it was very useful. But it took time to get used to it.
Great video
Awesome
I use to have this it was fun
This is unique looking controller
I have one of these. I got it on clearance for like $5, but I've only used it rarely.
I had the genesis version of this controller growing up. I would sort of cradle the "puck" with the ABC+XYZ buttons in my right hand and just use my thumb like a regular genesis controller. I preferred this to a traditional genesis controller, but I was a kid, so there is really no telling if I'd still like it.
This is my controller of all time. All hail the titan.
Damn! This controller looks boss!
and for the most part, it is much more affordable than finding the huge Capcom joystick they made which had plugs for the NES, SNES and if i remember well, the Genesis as well.
Looks like a stellar controller for Super Metroid as well
I remember getting this controller for free at EBGames but i was buying Super Bomberman.
It's a great controller once you get use to it! I also have the Genesis and 3DO versions. :)
I would get one just for that sweet engraved Capcom logo.
I have two of these. I got them when they were first released and I thought they were awesome. I never even considered holding it piano style like that.
Yeah, it's designed to be used piano style. It's for fighting games.
i have it at home in its case its awesome
I didn't realize he just posted this video I just saw it in recommended
I just bought one specifically for, the Road Rash games on the Genesis. As I am getting older, my thumb speed has slowed quite a bit. Trying to keep one finger on the acceleration button and moving another finger over, to punch or kick is, quite uncomfortable. I tried keeping my right hand on the buttons, this too, is uncomfortable, as it is at a bad angle and hurts the wrist and hand after a bit. This may help alot. We shall see.
I actually own this pad for Super Nintendo and 3DO. It's not bad, but the tilt is definitely noticeable for a while.
Seriously, where did you get that galaga shirt? I want it so bad!
I... really wanna try this with some turn-based RPGs
Agreed. Rather have a stick instead of a d-pad for that kind of layout, personally.
This reminds me of a weird contraption my uncle used once to play Killer Instinct, it was a weird plastic stick that was placed in the middle of the D-pad kinda sticking it in the groove, it looked very weird and i haven't been able to find anything about it, or if it was a real peripheral at all!.
There were little addon kits that clipped to the SNES controller that did that, I remember seeing them at the time but already had an arcade stick.
the button labeling on this one is better than the Capcom fighter stick when the original came out. Its LXR on top, YBA on bottom.
I still like using the l and r buttons for strong punch and kick, you still have to do that shit on the streets fighter 30th anniversary collection.
Very interesting controller =o
Capcom also made the POWER STICK FIGHTER wich has the shaped and layout of an arcade cabinet. I like the ergonomic design. You might have one somewhere.
I have this one. I found it at a thrift store still in it's package but it had mostly Japanese writing.
Also, this video makes me want to bust it open and try it. I think after getting used to it it would give an advantage.
As much as I love the SF/capcom fighting series, it was always annoying that we needed 6 face buttons. The original dreamcast controller wasn't any better :( Also also taunt function is usually the 'select' button, but the dc only had 7 buttons. In other words in order to taunt on a dc/cap fighter, you had to press the start and X button simultaneously.
I remember this channel has only tens of thousands subs
Before Madcatz made a fightstick for Street Fighter IV, here's this.
I thought that was the Capcom 3DO controller in the thumbnail!
I have the version of this for 3DO and it's great with Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
Wow, that's one funky looking controller. It's somewhat reminiscent of the NES analog stick controller you talked about. I like it.
Btw I'm 19th
Happy 19th birthday
@@soulintake You're one year ahead, mate. I did turn 18 today very coincidentally but when I said 19th I meant the 19th comment
Really need a more refined version of this for fighting games now like for ps4 or pc, there are so many fight sticks but i prefer fight pads and there is not as much choice for that
There was a Capcom d-pad only 6 button pad for PS3 and 360, is there not some way to use the PS3 version on PS4?
Actually kind of cool
The Gamepad Soulja
I think they released this on the 3DO as well. However, the dpad on this one looks better. On 3DO it was meant for SFII as well.
I have the snes version still I would never get rid of it, I actually still play fighters like this on the ps4 my right hand lays on top of the buttons
I have two of those controllers for the genesis
Problem is it still lacks a stick. One problem I always had with dpads for fighting games is how hard it is to pull off moves that require a rotation, like for example Ryus Hadouken, when requires a quarter circle, which is much harder with a dpad. One upside to a dpad is fighters like Guile that use charge attacks. Dpads are great for a back and forth motion, but terrible for circular motions. One reason Mortal Kombat was much easier to pull off moves on the older consoles was because the moves were all single direction inputs, and not circular motions.
I love quirky controllers like this.
I have this same pad but for the 3DO
The Saturn controller MK-2 is the best 6-face button controller ever made for 2D gaming. If there was a fusion between the Neo Geo CD controller (the one with the digital 8-way thumbstick) and the Saturn MK-2 controller, it would be the greatest controller ever made for 2D gaming.
That was the one that was nearly identical to the Megadrive/Genesis 6 button pad but with shoulder buttons wasn't it? I'd been injured by then and still can't used D-Pads now (top half of my left thumb is imobile and numb, so its arcade sticks and and holding analogue pads weird so i'm using where the bottom of my thumb joins my hand to move them), but before that Megadrive 6 button pad was the unbeatable one compared to SNES or any generation that came before, so I can easily take your word for it.
Yup. Sorry about your thumb though.
Using trigger buttons isn't that bad but the left triggers are always a pain to use, simply because it is awkward to do the dpad motion then press a button with the same hand.
i personally wouldn't have been able to use that back in the day. while playing fighting games, i usually use a portion of my shirt to wrap my left thumb with while using the d-pad, so i could simply just slide my thumb through the d-inputs in doing special moves. and for me, i think that method works better using a regular controller.
They also made this controller for the Sega Genesis.
I always liked Super Turbo Plus Street Extra Fighter Remix 2 Mega Hot ' Hyper New Comers Champion Edition
Me too.
Hyper cummers
Good review. But i feel like it could've been shortened..
I had this when I was a kid and I used it for every game. I didn’t like the shoulder buttons up there at the time
oooo exciting!
10.1.23
What about the Street fighter alpha 2 port? I played that against my friend for hours
I had this controller. It was used as the controller for player 2 and it was very comfortable (I was always player 2 unfortunately lmao). I would play things like the DKC trilogy, Street Fighter, Lost Vikings, and many other games. Also, another comment mentioned this too but, you're holding it wrong.
Before 1k views!!!
I always wanted that weird looking controller.
Can anyone who owns this or its sega variant tell me do you find the d-pad is good for avoiding mis-pressed directions? It looks EXACTLY how I'd design my ideal gaming pad for shooter speedruns and I'm seriously thinking of buying one ♥
I own this controller 😎
I am pretty sure I have two of them still.
I've been planning to look into this Controller.
Using Shoulder Buttons for Fierce attacks aren't bad after playing the 30th Anniversary Collection on the PS4, but does an Arcade/Fighting Controller make playing Street Fighter better?
It's all personal preference.
I'd reccomend Core-A Gaming's video on controllers used to win EVO.
Right...
I can't fathom how anyone could play SFII console-versions without a six button controller.
i used to have this controller. got it from Electronics Boutique so long ago. it was a weird controller
Capcom made it for every format they released Streetfighter on expect turbografx (Genesis and 3DO versions) so I thin they wanted it to be different enough that you bought it for those systems that did have other 6 button pads as a selling point for being different.
I wonder if this would work for Dragonball FighterZ?
I've own this controller for 20 years now, still use it too but have NEVER used it the way you did. That really just looked uncomfortable. It's a pretty great controller I say.
8bit do snes controller, the only snes controller you'll ever need
that isn't the arcade, it's the arcade1up :P
