There was actually a twin stick setup like you describe MADE by Sega for the Saturn.

I saw one on ebay, but shipping was $$$$$$

I have seen the sticks you are talking about. I believe they come in two different sizes. Not sure about the quality, I do not know anyone that has tried them.

I'm playing Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram at the mo, and I wish I had a twinstick.

VO :o T is such a nice game, but it's kinda hard to play with the DC pad. Too bad the twinstick is so expensive.

I have the blaze twin arcade stick for PSX. If it is the same thing you are talking about for DC, then it is not the same twinsticks made by Sega used for VOOT. Basically it is just two arcade style joystick made on 1 big plastic board.

It has 2 cords, one for each controller. You can't use it like VOOT.

I have the Sega made twinsticks for DC. It is very well made and pretty awesome. But only a few games support it and only VOOT is worth playing :)

I think he is talking about <a href="http://dcmedia.ign.com/media/hardware/image/dctwin/blaze1.jpg" target="_blank">THESE</a>, Takumaji.

I have seen the DC TwinSticks for VO: OT averaging about $110.00. I got a pair of new Saturn ones for $40.00 though, and an adapter to use them for DC for $25.00. I think the Saturn ones are built a bit better.

Oops, my bad. The word "twinsticks" strikes a nerve a the mo... did some research, and only got negative feedback.

Two SAT sticks and an adapter sounds much better, thanks for the tip, Bio.

Btw., happy birthday to ya! :)
