As I mentioned on the srk front page story for this, only SNK would release all of their games on the 360 (aside from KOF12, a game everyone hates) then release a PS3 exclusive controller.

They better fix that plastic dust problem in this release or they are gonna get hammered with complaints. This is one of the best pads I ever used, but they are doomed, and removing those pop discs to clean out the plastic dust buildup wrecks them more and more each time. Eventually the plastic disc outsiding actually breaks off due to picking at it to expose the discs, leaving the pop disc's screwed up for good. Unless you wanna attempt the glue gun method, which is a temporary solution, since that'd wear to.

SNKP has released all of the PSX ports of KoF 95-99 on PSN. Surely they want you to use this controller for those ports.

I don't think thats a HUGE issue that you make it out to be. I have two of these pads, which came with my Neo Geo CD. Each has at least 18 months of use on them (from me) and obviously I was not the first owner of them.
Both pads still work perfectly, no dust issues. So even if it happens, the problem probably wont crop up for a pretty long time under moderate use

It is a huge issue.. I find it hard to believe your pads have no dust after 18 months of use to be entirely honest. Is it a revision of the original or something? I'd love to see the guts of said pads.

One of the mods needs to merge the two threads on this. I posted in the other so i'll just re-iterate the same thing here.
The thing about the NGCD controll pad design in generall is that it's a mixed bag. Everything about it almost garaunteed it to be one of the best controllers ever but it was the primitive D-pad design that ruined averything.
The casing is almost perfect and the face buttons are more than fine. If they released a version that removed the traditional NGCD 360 stick and replaced it with the NGPC stick then you would have a controller that destroyed the highly regarded Saturn pad.
the bottom line is that the controller design needs to work well across the board with all genres. It works just fine for shooters and other games but it sucks for fighters. For a company like SNK (who is and has always been known first and foremost for it's fighting games) to have thier own controller/joysticks out and not have them excell (if not be the best in the industry) at the genre of games they are most know for is unaceptable, ESPECIALLY when they have already brought a better D-pad/joystick hybrid design to market in the form of the NGP(C) and have that to use as well.

This I couldn't agree with more. I love the saturn controller, but fuck does it give me blisters, same for the NGCD controller.
The only thing I'd worry with is the durability of the analog if they made it like that, I've broken a NGPC stick.kdnpdbyninjas

Hmmm...might have to pick one up now that Neo Geo will be starting a gaming network on PSN by the end of the month. Hopefully there's going to be a stick like the red one I use for MotW on PS2.

It's great for shooters. It's were it's D-pad falls short in circular motions that holds it back (by making it lackluster for fighters and run N gunners).

Ohhh. Haha, that's basically the opposite of what I had assumed. I'll pick it up!
Hell yes. It still stuns me just how well the NGPC stick worked for the fighters.
Should I be worried that this is being produced by Exar?

I know that this ranking list hasn't been updated for the longest time, but if it is reliable, Exar stuff is rather subpar.

Eh, for $50 I'd take the chance. Hopefully P-A restocks.

If it's not microswitched, I'll throw mine in the trash.

Dont throw it away, I'll take it
.On a more serious note. I own an original NGCD Pad and know next to nothing about the electronics/mechanics behind it. Anybody have pics of the insides of one ( the pad of course
)? The micro switches must be tiny.
