Hori Fighting Commander PC Controller

[wyndcrosser]

I love this controller. The white pc engine controller killed my hands when playing Ys I and II, but this controller definitely changed how I look at PC Engine now. I wish I had it earlier.

I'm a big fan of this controller too. If you promise not to tell anyone, I'll confide that sometimes I wish it had shoulder buttons instead of the six button layout.  :oops:

Pretty sure it's my favorite. All I use.

I want to get me one some day.  The ave 6's d-pad makes my thumb sore and the d-pad on the RX pad is pretty meh, so I'm sure I'd like the Hori.

I just bought one today from the Netherlands at $35. Let's see how it holds up.
I do not have any games yet that really take advantage of six-button-controllers, but this might change soon.

My thing is the circular SNES design, which doesn't cramp my hands. I played Ys III for like 3 hours last night and I didn't want to cut my hands off.

Do you like using it with two button games too? I'm not sure I could dig that with the positioning of I and II.

I've cleared that game a dozen times over the years, never had a problem with controllers. This is a game where you don't even have to press "attack". I could easily play it for many hours with probably any controller, even 3DO. It sounds like you need physical/mental therapy or something. The standard  PCE pad isn't perfect, but it's rare for anyone to complain about it unless they have hooks for hands. Do you have hooks for hands? Is all this too late? How long have you been struggling with issues of self harm?

Ys III requires a button press to attack, as do Ys II and IV if you want to use magic.  You've played the games, right?

Don't ruin a perfectly good joke with facts and logic.

[Necromancer]

Heh, my apologies.  :-"

I have a Hori fighting commander but I prefer the standard NEC 2 button pad.  Since the early '90s I've always associated PCE/Turbo games, the systems and the whole experience with the standard NEC pad.  I use the Hori mainly for 6 button games and I do prefer it over the Ave 6 pad.  The Hori is an excellent controller but I'll never replace the trusty NEC 2 button pad. 

[Necromancer]

I want one for games that need six buttons.  The rest of the time I'll stick to my wireless pads or Ave 3 when the batteries are dead or I wanna lounge around on the floor.

That would be something we call "an over exaggeration", but here I can help you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exaggeration it even has pictures.

According to Zeta, everybody on this forum needs mental therapy.
