Sega Saturn Twin Sticks

Post by ReddMcKnight »

Well, I just recently learned of this unique controller for the Sega Saturn, so I have some questions about it:

1. I know it's for Virtual On, but does it work for the US Release?

2. How much does it usually go for?

3. Where can I buy it?

I have one of these. Its a nice arcade stick.

It has a model number of MK-80104

it has some nifty features. It has turbo buttons, buttons on the arcade stick, and it can be customized for a lefty or a righty.

this is pure speculation, but the way it can be used to play in Virtual-On is to own two of these controllers. You see, on the bottom of the pad there is two inputs. One says Main and the other says sub. You would then have to take apart a controller to then attach the stick to your other controller. It then becomes a dual stick.

I dont know how much these cost but I paid $5 bucks for it about five years ago. I bought it at a local fleamarket. Sadly the vendor did have another one, but it was broken :( . The stick part of one of the controllers was broken and the wires inside were loose and hanging. I probaly could have fixed it with super glue, but it just seemed like too much work.

well, heres some pics of it in case you ever see one. I wanna find another one too now that you mention it.

p.s. please dont mind the hairy leg :D

I think ReddMcKnight means this one:

I think the only Sega controller that is region locked is the Japanese Dreamcast Lightgun.

flojocabron is thinking of the Mission Stick. It's true you can connect two Mission Sticks together to make a "Twin Mission Stick", but as far as I know no game took advantage of it except Panzer Dragoon 2, and in that game's case, "took advantage" is probably overstating it.
