YES YES YES HES BACK!!!! So glad to see you back at it man!
appreciate you ☺🙏♥
I said that same thing I can't wait till his next video
I came into this satisfying hobby about a year ago as I bought a SNK Arcade Stick Pro. I modded it with Sanwa lever and buttons (it's great!) and got hooked instantly. I build arcade sticks for fun now, and my job as a machinist gives me endless possibilities for trying out new things.
i am jelly, i wish i have your machinist knowledge ♥🙏
@@JoystickNY well, my hobby teamed up with my job 😅 I made different sized levers and ball/battops from stainless steel, alumunium and brass f.e. on the turning- and milling machine. It's interesting, but the work itself is not always funny...
@@JoystickNY and I'm jelly about your awesome fast skills on the stick btw. 🤣
What an absolutely incredible video, I should tell you that you are brilliant, not because of your beautiful visual demonstrations, not because of your incredible attention to detail, not because of your high level of preparation for the videos BUT because of your love and care for the hobby and how you simply want the good for the community and the industry.
I'm new to the custom arcade stick/fighting game scene and learned some things from your old videos explaining things. And it was heartwarming to hear your time falling in love with Japanese levers.
I appreciate your efforts and the care you put in your efforts to be informative and welcoming at the same time. It is a pleasure to listen to you explain things with a passion yet so calmly
i really appreciate the heart warming comment, you keep me going and make me want to do better, hopefully life and my job allows me to make more videos in the future, as we get older, more responsibility kicks in ☺🙏♥
I've had this stick for about 6 months now, and I still learned something new. Many thanks. Looking forward to the mod video.
i was messing with it the other day, if you set a button to RIGHT, and you can do DOWN on the lever, and RIGHT on the button, then press a punch for a fireball, something silly lol
these videos are made with so much care and a non-chaotic note that it makes a pleasure just to watch and learn in general
appreciate you 🙏♥
I bet a ps5 one would sell like hotcakes at this pricepoint, low/mid budget and tournament legal
i really hope they make one ☺🙏♥
@@JoystickNYSony doenst give 8bitdo a licence … they attempt this 5 Times
I thought that sticks that had turbo were not allowed in tournament?
@@alvinyakitorie The xbox version doesn't have turbo or macros. He mentions it in the video.
@@alvinyakitorie the Hori RAP N has a turbo function and I believe it's tournament legal
So good to see you upload! You're the reason I picked up a mayflash stick and have enjoyed watching your videos while being informative still
appreciate you dylan 🙏
So good to see another video from you! Love all your coverage of these sticks!
thank you friend ♥🙏
This was such a good overview and description of the arcade stick. You cover every button and how it works and explained everything really well!
Thank you, always happy to help 🙏
Got my mayflash f300 thanks to your video and i'm fully satisfied,great review as always.👍
appreciate you, mayflash works and great value
Glad you're back. I got an Obsidian stick after some of your videos (the first one).
that is a really good tournament stick, just a bit expensive ♥🙏
The first is preferred over the second. I have one myself. Good choice!
Love your stuff, by far my favorite reviewer for fightsticks!
you are too kind ♥🙏 thank you so much
You always putting a lot of effort into the videos. Keep it up man. I'm still rocking my Nintento version (I Use it on pc) and I love it.
appreciate you, i want to also take the opportunity to improve my video making, speaking, camera work, and lighting ☺🙏♥
@@JoystickNY I also liked the hadooken (idk I spell it right I don't play sf) it was funny hahah.
Always a good day when you upload. Thanks for the review!
Thank you ♥🙏
Welcome back, man. I really enjoy these videos. Reminds me that I need to make some myself too.
you got to, i know its tough, life have so many distractions, errands, chores, responsibility, do what you can little bit at a time 🔥🔥🔥
Great video as always. What you're doing here is amazing
appreciate you ☺🙏♥
Thanks for the review! Just bought one and really happy so far.
Have fun with it 👍😊
You're really on point with your info. This is awesome. 🍺💪🏻
this man just casually completes a advance combo trial no problem, at first you had my attention, now you have my respect .
Happy to see another video!!! I'm glad to hear from you again ☺☺☺
thank you ♥🙏
I bought this Xbox arcade stick as my first ever stick about 2 months ago. Have been very satisfied with the purchase. Really enjoying booting up fightcade on my pc and playing mvc2 cvs2 and 3rd strike
its a wonder toy for the price, great for the classic emu games
I have two 8bitdo arcade sticks and because of your earlier video I was able to replace the levers with Sanwa. Thanks so much!
enjoy it my friend, you can sit far with a friend or partner and chill on the sofa with the wireless feature
Link to sanwa change? @@JoystickNY
Love your videos!!!! Thank you for this review 😊
appreciate you for dropping by
Great review and the part about older games not messing around is right on the money lol.
Its always nice to hear you breakdown various arcade related things because of the passion you put in 👏🥰🥰 thats why i keep watching them over again 👍🙏👌
thank you so much john
Top quality video as always, friend. I actually held off on buying this hoping you would make a video on it. I'm glad I waited. I most definitely will be watching your mod video.
🙏♥ appreciate you, working on it, if no obstacle comes in, prob with in 5 days.
@@JoystickNY take your time. I'm in no rush. I'm not planning on going anywhere. You've earned the subscribers.
He’s back!! Love your videos as always. And you can, do the review on the Mayflash F700.
Thank you, let me check it here and there when they have a sale ❤️🙏
Is always great to see you back bro! Hope everything is getting well... thanks for your review, I would like to see this stick for PS5 console
thank you so much, i really hope they do make one ♥🙏
Yes! Can’t wait for the follow up video!
appreciate you 🙏♥
Excellent video, I look forward to the video where you show what needs to be done to install a Sanwa JLX on this arcade stick.
i got you ☺🙏♥
Thank you so much! I am getting into using an 8bitdo because I am tired of blisters on my thumbs lol
I love this joystick for old school arcade games
it brings back good memories ♥🙏
Thanks for doing this review.
sorry its a bit late, thank you for watching ☺🙏♥
Very excited for part 2!
thank you, working on it ♥🙏
Cool vid man 💯 props to you👊
I almost bought this because it reminds me of the NES Advantage, and I LOVED that joystick as a kid, especially playing Contra. But, I don't need it because I already have 3 Hori Arcade sticks. Would be fun modding it with different button/color combinations.
Great Video as always.
yeah... i have 4 switch versions and the white and black xbox versions... it's fun making new color combinations. one day I'll have that 4 player couch co op party,i swear!
@@maruxiii6891 Cool. I thought about getting the Switch version, but I don't really play many fighting games on it, and I just use my Brook Converter and use one of my other sticks on it when I do.
dont buy more lol, 3 is good enough , dont get too crazy for now ♥🙏😉
@@JoystickNY Haha yeah, almost became a collector but I already have enough crap. But I do love seeing other people's collections and modding mine, switching up the colors/buttons.
Best arcade stick reviews and channel. Every other CZcams channel doing arcade sticks is just repeating marketing hype (except for Scanline City, another great one).
DO THE MAYFLASH F700 NEXT!!!
Really appreciate you, your too kind ❤️🙏🙏🙏
Great video man love the uploads as usual!!
appreciate you ♥🙏
first of all. youre THE goat for arcade sticks and the reason I ended up getting one to begin with so thank you for that.
Second ! ! ! !keeep goingggggg ! ! ! !
third .. hope ps5 gets a wireless arcade stick so i can layback and finally play tekken in bed without having a long assssss cable.
appreciate you so much, thank you for the motivation, for real, a ps5 version would be so cool
Awesome review bro I think I’m going to grab one for Tekken 8
Enjoy my friend
Great video, I really like your style of review! Would you consider reviewing leverless controllers like HitBox?
Possibly in the future thank you
They don't make games like that anymore, you're so right! Love that you used this arcade stick to showcase Metal Slug, what a classic! Great work as always
for real, miss the old days
This for PC will probably be my first official stick. I like it a lot
Oh I had no idea we had a wireless option at that price?!?!
I’m picking this up over the weekend. Thanks for the breakdown!
is great to layback and play some retro games on the couch sometimes
good job showing the retro games too!
Thank you ♥🙏
oh so glad you are here again mate!!!!!
appreciate you mate ♥🙏
Excellent video review JoyStickNY! - I have had this controller for the xbox series for about 8 months now and it is very good. It is compact, but very sturdy and stable. Does NOT feel cheap and lightweight. The only issue I had with it were the buttons being a little too loud. BUT - you can swap them out easily for Sanwa quiet buttons, which is what I did. Regarding button swapping/modding - the screws are tightened in with some type of adhesive which made it pretty difficult to open for the first time. Otherwise - def a great arcade stick. Everything JoyStickNY said holds up.
great points, and thank you, I am making the lever mod video next, if you ever want to swap out the lever 🙏♥
excellent video bro. metal slug 3 is a fun time!
Thank you
great review. hoping for a stick review for nacon daija
thank you for watching, I will look into the nacon maybe wait for a sale 🙏♥
black looks the best. glad i went with the nintendo version for ease of mod.
the black one looks way better than the white one, the white one kinda look cheap lol
would love to see you dive into the world of custom/DIY sticks
I would love to dive in in the future, bit quite behind schedule for now🙏♥
Welcome back bro i can't wait till your next video my son wants a arcade stick and my daughter does too i was looking for one but i want to mod it for them thanks for this video and i can't wait for the mod video bro
i got you my friend, these are really good for the family, wireless, you can just lay back and play some classic retro games, beat em up, shoot em up, platformers, ♥🙏
@@JoystickNY thank you my friend I've shared your video to all forms of social media
That's one awesome arcade stick for the Xbox 😮😊
🙏♥ I agree
Love your videos keep it up!
Thank you ♥🙏 appreciate you
I have this stick its very nice and well built perfect for my gaming needs.
works like a charm 👍
I modded Xbox stick using you’re switch arcade stick mod video, bro thank you so much
happy to hear the video helps 🙏♥ thank you for watching
Hey Jay! Thanks for the concise review! Xbox burned me when they banned the Brooks adapters last year. I was using it to connect my PS4 SFV Madcatz stick. But if I change my mind, I'll pick this stick up. Thanks for the advice!
any time my friend, appreciate you for watching
Hello
Thank you for the review
One question :
i understand that on this xbox version, there is no more possibility to activate turbo (vs the switch version) ?
a bit sad not ?
I've already got one (version 2) before the product review. with sanwa buttons, Sanwa Lever, octagonal restrictor plate, 3 lbs. tension spring and a bat type lever handle, and removed metal weights. I just follow the instructions from his previous video tutorial and everything seems to work fine.
looking good over there, keep it up my friend, thank you for watching
Your thoughts and review on a Nacon Daija anytime soon ? Thanks and love your work!
Thank you ♥🙏 let me check when they get a sale , sticks are expensie
The lag is real. Wow!
(Not the joystick probably)
Thanks for showing the lag!
thank you for watching
Been waiting on a review for this from you cause you are straight forward and helpful. Thanks for the info on this stick. Do you have any plans on reviewing leverless like the haute 42 in the future. I have been seeing a lot of CZcamsrs pick it up as a budget entry level. Ik this channel is mostly about arcade sticks so this may be a stupid question.
never a stupid question, i havent have plan to do reviews for leverless yet, i used to use keyboards alot back in the emu days, and i kinda have a feeling of leverless and motions, i know i prob switch to leverless because i think stick works for all games, where as leverless can be better at some, but under perform in others, possibly in the future i might go over leverless, right now i am very behind and prob want to catch up on more stick videos for now , appreciate you ♥🙏
@@JoystickNY thanks for the reply
"lets go to jamie cause jamie is cool"
hell yeah
The quick history rundown of arcade sticks on Xbox as well as the step by step rundown of every feature/button + live demo for the stick is really appreciated!
My Tekken-wired brain, however, immediately wonders if it's possible to assign d/f or d/b to a single button. From the looks of the software, that's not possible, at least not without using more than 1 button. That would be cheap!
Either way, this might be a good stick to keep around as a 2P stick on PC.
great thinking, you are right, 2 direction is prob not possible, them back dashes be crazyyyyyyy 🤣
Please don’t leave it so long to post and upload videos. I’m sure there’s some SF6 character trials and information we still need from you 😎
Good to have you back ❤ #NoDiddy
appreciate you ♥🙏♥
the stick does it all, button remapping
its pretty good for price and value ♥🙏
it's incredible how they make controllers for everything but ps5 lol
I'm a pc player though so it doesn't affect me much unless I go to play with a friend
hopefully the next release is a ps5 version ☺🙏♥
This is what I said and still say for fight sticks only being in ps consoles I would loooove to own a victrix
Great video, dude!
Thank you ♥🙏
Thank you for the comparison! I have 2 Windows arcade emulation machines and I was trying to see if the new "Xbox version" was any better for my use-case. I'd really love to get the black one, but I can't justify the price increase ($80 vs $120). I plan on doing a black bat top, concave Neo Geo theme buttons and a Neo Geo overlay and would love to have the black version so that it doesn't look cream colored in between the seams, but again, at the price difference I think I'll just paint the top of the older version :)
Possibly microsoft charge them a higher license fee , and also with the added headphone jack, i think still in reasonable range hehe 🤣
If I didn’t already have a great stick I would get one of these.
Thank you ♥🙏 one is good enough
I want to get a MAS stick, a little pricey but man it is such a beast
He’s back!
thank youuuuuuuu ☺🙏♥
*need some advice*
I just got this today in white & I was excited. You definitely influenced me to go this route.
After 20 minutes of playing
I have a few things i don't like about it but im not sure if there are any other options in the price range...
1. How the bottom of it is beveled in, it slips while on my lap.
2. The chin (where your wrists would sit) is a bit too short which makes the buttons feel low to me.
I'm asking you because you have a way deeper knowledge of arcade sticks than I do and I don't want to buy then have a similar problem.
*Any advice* anything have a similar price point but maybe better for wrist support & lap usage?
*Thank you* *!*
Maybe try the hori alpha, it its a bigger and heavier stick, it may help with your situation 🙏❤️
Hell yeah! I'm a pad player and this is making me think of getting a stick
Do it, save your thumbs and enjoy the new medium. I switched off of life long pad last week and my hands feel great and my inputs are better. Give it a shot
You know what yeah, i'll give it a whirl. I needed to learn something new anyways lol thanks for the push
@@markoholic_ Dont get me wrong stick is the most fun input method IMO but it is objectively worse than pad. If you are seeking improvement I would go leverless, but if you just want to have fun go stick for sure
i totally recommend it, 🕹are fun
My xbox360 hori fighting edge have button remapping but only for the 3 bottom buttons and 1 on top far right side, they could make of full button remapping but i guess they did try. i never knew it had it. If the buttons changed the functions will divert to other 4 buttons. this one offer full functions
I saw some testing that showed that the switch version has somewhat high input latency, but I wonder about this one which I haven't seen tested. I mostly use it now for playing emulated arcade games on my PC.
Very nice entry-level stick, especially for Xbox.
This is a very minor gripe, but it would have been cool if some of the buttons were colored like the ABXY buttons back in the OG Xbox/360 days. Though if modding the buttons is as simple as the Switch version, that's still cool.
is a few extra steps, but not too hard, i ll show you on the next video, working on it ♥🙏
This stick is absolutely needed. Microsoft banned Brook adapters so there’s even less ways to use old sticks or custom sticks on Xbox now. At the moment the mayflash adapters work but those might be banned too one day. 8bitdo being licensed officially gives Xbox players a reliable option to use.
great comment, i was very happy when they release them, and yea, they banned they wingman usb
Great video, im a PC gamer, which stick would you say is better for PC, 8bitdo, Qanba drone 2 or Mayflash F300 Elite?
Probably qanba drone 2.
Excellent review. Only thing missing still, is input lag. I'm on Windows and in need of a new Arcade stick, so thanks for the review: I might get me one.
possibly in the future, i want to look into software and hardware that can calculate those spec infos
@@JoystickNY Indeed. It's certainly not as easy as it first sounds. If you manage to eliminate display lag (CRT's FTW!), you still need to figure out the system delay and game delay, to correctly assess the delay the stick adds on top.
You’re so cool I wish I had as much skill as you
your too kind, I am just a average guy who love games 🙏♥
At this point, your vidios are like ASMR content. Start a video and just listen while I'm driving or working around the house, lol (currently getting ready for work, so I'll comment on the video later 😂)
Appreciate you, i love that 🙏❤️
Just bought this today. A few questions if anyone can answer. What exactly does the switch at 5:20 change/do? What should I have that switch on when playing on PC? How do we get that application you showed for button mapping? This is my first time using an arcade stick, which I primarily hope to use for fighting games. I like it so far, but it will take some getting used to. Thanks for the review btw, it helped me pull the trigger on this purchase.
8BitDo does such a good job with entry level sticks that I wish they'd do a premium stick too.
they can stay the same design, and just make it longer, it will look nice
the goat is back
☺🙏♥ thank you ☺🙏♥
this one or qanba drone 2 is better on PC ?
5:37 this is gonna be a game changer when i'm down 3-0 and my buddy gets up to grab a new drink
HAHA took me 10 sec to get it 🤣
I've been playing Metal slug 3 for 20 years and I didn't realize it had those little Easter eggs at the start
there are so many in every corner, i only know a handful from watching people play back then lol
Very cool video
thank you ♥🙏
Pretty good with 1945 there, of course it's only stage 1. You know what would make it easier and not wear and tear too much on your button?? A turbo button. Doesn't look like that thing has any turbo function at all.
yea, 1945 would prob be better on the nintendo version to save my wrist, i never really played the 1945 that much back then, cuz my quarter didnt last as long as other games lol 🤣
The steam version has turbo settings, same for the switch ports, let the wrist pain for the purists lol
Is there an adapter that allows the Xbox version to connect to the switch? Doesn’t matter to me if it’s wired or wireless
welcome back bro.🙋
appreciate you
Might be a silly question. But can you use a USB hub and connect 4 of these to one Xbox to play 4 player beat em ups and such?
thats a really good question, i think its possible at least for 2, i gotta find out 1 day, great idea btw ☺🙏♥
Hello! im a beginner and ive been watching your videos, theyve been super helpful but im very indecisive so i was wondering if i could ask for an extra bit of help, im thinking about buying the 8BitDo you recommend in this video but i also had an eye on the Mayflash F300 Elite and the Qanba Drone 2, i play fighting games on PC and im looking for good out of the box experience (for the price) since i dont plan on modding at least for now, thanks! :]
i really like the hori alpha, if you dont mind spending 199, and i also highly recommend the obsidian 1 if you can get 1 for cheaper than retail.
@@JoystickNY thank you so much for the reply! those two are a bit out of my budget and the most expensive i could go for would be the Mayflash F500 Elite, ive heard people say its good because of the size and the Sanwa parts, would you recommend it?
The best is back
black looks nicer than the white one lol
Are you going to review the Mayflash F700?
Also are you going to review leverless fight sticks?
Waiting on a sale on the f700 🤣, i will prob get on the leverless in the future, kinda behind on schedule for now 🙏❤️
@@JoystickNY you should rename your channel to FightstickNY because leverless and fight sticks review youre going to do
The king is back 🎉🍻
you are too kind 🤣🤣🤣
Great video.
thank you so much
16:34 I only just now realised how similar super star wars is to metal slug 🙃
I can see some inspirations there too 🙏♥
grat review.! thank you.. work's on 360?...
i dont think it works on the 360, i plug it in and tried, it didnt connect, and the box and their site didnt mention 360, i will assume not for 360 ☺🙏♥
Oh, I have a TE2 mad cats arcade fighting stick tournament edition the killer instinct one and it works on my Xbox series X also also😊😊😊😊
thats a great stick, those are hard to find these days , thank you for watching
