I think you're right Ziggy I don't think it ever was. Off the top of my head there was Super Mario World, the SMW+Allstars Combo, DKC, Killer Instinct, I think there was Mario Paint bundle, there was Zelda, Tetris Attack, Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart, Super Gameboy bundle, Yoshi's Island, Kirby Super Star, even Ken Griffey I recall tossed in one.

That should be more or less probably all of them with a game at least between the normal and later mini console.


Sigh I wish I could find a Neo Geo X joystick for $10, or anything reasonably not at or over what they retailed for. The damn thing is very well built and it's USB. I'd love to have it for my computer. I bought all those SNK stand alone rom packs with the emulator on them through that anniversary sale over a year ago, it would be perfect.

Also good on you getting that NES Classic carrier, the trolls are still even making that thing disgustingly expensive, and all for a stupid zipper purse for your console. It's the least useful thing Nintendo CE branded that's being fleeced at the moment.

I seem to recall asking someone here on the forum what they thought about the neo geo x USB joystick when they first came out. Maybe it was hobie; maybe it was Ziggy. My memory isn't perfect.

In any case, he told me that it wasn't very good. I'll see if I can search up that thread...

I have one and they are light and feel very "thin" compared to the originals. The buttons also suck.

For $10, they are a great deal, but don't think they are anything amazing.

Wasn't me, if that helps your searching.

I'd pay something like $10-20 on one but not the $50+ I've seen it's stupid. They're slightly smaller than the original AES joysticks and yes as noted plastic is a little bit thinner. But the buttons and base are supposedly solid so it's not like it will crumple.

Eh, I only have the one that came with the Neo Geo X system, but the stick is one of the cheapest feeling video game accessories I've ever touched.

Yep.

It's fine for what it is. Some criticism is warranted, sure, but I don't find it terrible by any means.




Anyways, a few games came in the mail, from a trade I did locally a few days ago.









Loose PAL Saturn game, and a loose GG "Sega Game Pack 4-in-1" cart.

Thanks Ziggy. I was totally off; it wasn't either of you. It was jay_red.
Here's the post from 2013:

I had the x for a minute, and the joystick was what bothered me the most, I took it apart and kept trying to swap parts (springs, shafts switches, etc...) and could never get it to feel right.

In 2014, Noise followed up with this post:

My thoughts were the same - I figured I'd use it for a MAME stick. But this thing seems like cheap crap to me. Again, cant' compare to the original. But this isn't for me.

If anyone is interested, the thread in question is here:

A day or two ago some member in one of my facebook gaming groups said that the 99 cents only store had Lego dimensions toys. He was right. After work, I went to my closest store, and there they were. I searched all over and only saw these.I don’t even have the game! But for a dollar I can’t complain. So if theres a 99 cents only store near you, head over and see what you’ll find! Also I went to Walmart and I got those two games clearance at $7.00 each. Giana sisters wii U, and Tetris ultimate. I’m once again a happy collector!
