Tried these controllers?
Yeah, so I obviously need more controllers. Yeah, so anyone tried either the 3DO Fighting Sword controller or the Sidekick Controller from Tommo? The Sidekick almost looks like a six button Genesis controller with turbo buttons. Fighting Sword looks more like a SNES pad with six face buttons. Ant help here would be appreciated.
This is a stick up! Put all of your 3DO games in the bag and nobody gets hurt!

Hmm, I need to check into this then because the controller does look nice. Also, the SNES adapters, do they allow for two controllers to be plugged in as well? I am sure that someone here has at least one or two of them to check out . . .3DO Experience wrote:I don't know what would would need for an adapter, I can't imagine a Y-Splitter working.

You think? If anything I think the Magic Power one ,with its cheap looking rainbow buttons, is more nursery appropriate. I mean, just check out the colors ... blue, red, green, and ... baby diarrhea?JohnnyDude wrote:It's a weird one for sure. That Rock 3 one looks like a nursery toy. I practically expect teeth marks on it. Perhaps you can use it to learn your shapes, colors, and/or farm animals.Trev wrote:Nice. I like them both, but the Rock 3 is beautiful.

Yes, it was US evilbay. Next time you must be faster ;-)Austin wrote:Was this US evilbay? I look for 3DO items daily but didn't see them pop up. Maybe they were bought before I checked in yesterday.. It's a bummer, but then again I wouldn't have been able to afford one now anyway. The Magic Power one looks like it would have had the better feel of the two.
im not much of joystick controller guy, the only one i liked is the huge wooden arcade stick i got, it feels more like an arcade than anything else ive ownedTrev wrote:Why didn't you care for them? Did they not control well?Lemmi wrote:heh i used to have 2 of those Rock joysticks, i didnt like them to much so i sold both
might have to ask that control question to someone who has one and used it more than once

In my experience with the Rock 3, the main issue is that the unit is not heavy enough.Trev wrote:Why didn't you care for them? Did they not control well?Lemmi wrote:heh i used to have 2 of those Rock joysticks, i didnt like them to much so i sold both
The buttons and joystick control well, but the unit does not possess enough mass to prevent it from moving around when you start pushing the joystick around hastily.
To mitigate this problem, it comes with suction feet which do work well when you are using in on a flat surface.
It's also nice that it allows you to hook up a SNES pad to your 3DO.

Re: Tried these controllers?
Believe it or not, the Capcom fighting controller came with the 3DO I ordered. I assume it's pretty rare, and it looks to have a better D-Pad than the Super NES counterpart, the D-Pad on this is one of my favorites ever.T2KFreeker wrote:Yeah, so I obviously need more controllers.

Doing a little research on third-party 3DO Controllers, I stumbled across this holy page:

Wow, what a website. Did a user here make this? It's something else. Here's a picture of the Fighting Sword Controller for n00bs like myself:
Looks amazing, I can only hope it has shoulder buttons for games like Samurai Shodown which don't have any other kicking options besides holding R and pressing A B or C. The Sidekick was a little harder to find a good picture of...
Yeah, I'm afraid I couldn't actually find a picture of the physical thing. It was dumb luck that the former controller had a photograph printed on the box, since apparently boxes are what this guy's all about.
But wow, the stuff I've found on this website. Ever heard of the 3DO Bible? Well, you have now.
In the beginning Trip Hawkins created 3DO. And the library was void; and darkness was upon the crappy FMV games: and Plumbers Don't Wear Ties moved upon the face of the 3DO.
And Trip said, let there be Gex: and there was Gex.
I'll shut up now.
