X-Joybox
Over the last few weeks I have remembered how much I love fighting games. I have since picked up copies of Capcom vs. SNK 2, King of Fighters: Neowave, King of Fighters 2002/2003, & Street Fighter Anthology all for the X-Box. While some of these titles are BC some are not. So it gave me a good reason to bust out my original X-Box and go to town. I quickly realized that the X-Box S Controller isn’t the best thing in the world for fighting games however its D-pad is far better then that of the 360 Controller D-pad. Either way, I was still having difficulties pulling off the moves that I usually pulled off with great ease. I decided I’d try out one of those controller adapters for the X-Box that allows you to use a Playstation Controller on the X-Box.

The X-Joybox was the adapter of choice for me this time around and they finally arrived yesterday. I found that using an original Playstation Dual Shock controller worked flawlessly and gave me a level of precision and control that I could never reach with the X-Box controllers. The strange thing was the Playstation 2 Dual Shock controllers didn’t work that well. Button presses weren’t registered properly unless you really jammed down on the buttons. This most likely occurs because of the pressure sensitivity on those controllers, a feature the PS1 did not have.Now if only they had released SF Alpha 3 for the X-Box… I guess I’ll go try and get a copy of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 for a billion dollars…
