The D-pad is almost a cylinder so it makes it easier to do 360's with it. If you would try that on a original controller's D-pad then you would most likely break your thumb.Darthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-85336545001704020792013-01-12T08:41:39.718-05:002013-01-12T08:41:39.718-05:00Good news for the next gen is Nintendo's d-pad...Good news for the next gen is Nintendo's d-pad patent expired in 2005, so maybe new controllers might be able to have better d-pads without having to work around the problem.<br /><br />http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Multiformat/Top+5+charts/feature.asp?c=29914<br /><br />The loading screen minigame and the fighting game tutorial patents we all know I'm sure but I never knew Microsoft patented Kudos from Metropolis Street Racer for rewarding stylish gameplay.<br /><br />And Miyamoto considered patenting JUMPING back in the day! It's ridiculous what you can patent if you get into something new early on.<br /><br />I should really get around to patenting my design of using a grandmother to suck eggs.umonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-60671550694868512302013-01-11T13:08:13.393-05:002013-01-11T13:08:13.393-05:00I got a new 360 controller on impulse a few months...I got a new 360 controller on impulse a few months back ($60?!), the new Dpad is miles better and overall Im pretty happy with it. <br /><br />What happened to those Street Fighter themed controllers that were kind of SNES like? Were they any decent? I always kind of wanted one but I learned SF in the arcade so I just ended up with an arcade stick.

It's not a very good dpad though. Give me a SNES controller that works on 360 with 6 face buttons and I would be in heaven.mdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-29406113627857468902013-01-10T06:10:38.815-05:002013-01-10T06:10:38.815-05:00Wish I could get excited over an Arcade stick.

I finally found my copy of DOA5 which somehow I lost shortly after ripping off the plastic but before putting it into the 360, and I found my whole MAME archive on a backup external drive that managed to boot up, and I immediately backed it up - twice. So lots of good shooters and fighting games await... Im still pretty happy with the two custom sticks I own (Chronic Xbox for fighting and MD Galaxy Deluxe for STGs), but this is definitely intriguing. With the next generation of consoles looming, I wonder if and how Razor's new gem will fit into the picture...Chronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051954780090847748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-14408975563080901042013-01-09T19:25:56.087-05:002013-01-09T19:25:56.087-05:00Pretty sure no one cares about this post besides C...Pretty sure no one cares about this post besides Chronic, but what the hell.
