Hey guys, I have a question about the stick capcom came out with around the same time Street Fighter II came out on SNES.

OK, I bought the stick described above at a funcoland last weekend. I thought, "great, now I have a decent stick for my SNES to play side-scrolling beat em ups with." Thing is, when I got home, there was a SMALL problem... IT HAS THE PLUGS FOR AN NES !!

I thought this stick was for the SNES (It even has the L,R,X,Y,A,B buttons layed out in classic capcom style.

What I want to know is, have I been jyped, has some1 altered the port to work on an NES, or is this stick made to work on NES and SNES?

Thats weird. Something like that happened to me. I remember buying a super controller from GAME WORLD back in the day. When I got home I found out it was altered for the Genesis. Later I figured out That GAME WORLD used the Genesis input on all of there PAY 2 PLAY stations to reduce the amount of ports they needed. Go figure

dont worry...nes and snes use the EXACT same port...just a different layout. go to gamesx.com to get the pinouts and cut off the nes end and wire it up to an snes connector...its that simple!

Woah there... you dont need to go through all that.

That stick is comptaible with both, because it originally came with both NES & SNES plugs. The one you bought is simply incomplete <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

I have both SNES/NES verison(blck) and Genesis(white) version. You can find new ones on eBay for like $8-$15 too just in case you didnt know(atleast, about 1month ago you could, havent been checking)

Why did they make the controllers opposite colors from the system? Did they get the colors mixed or did they just want to piss me off by having the controllers not match my Genesis!
