Just when you thought that the Smash Box was the only way for Smashers to approach their favorite series with a Hit Box style controller, 20XX announced this sophisticated product that might eternally change the game.
With its innovative design, the Smash Stick is one of the most promising fightsticks to have ever existed in fightstick history and will likely soothe the appetite of analog lovers.
If you like both the generic fightstick with a joystick and also the Hit Box, then you are in for a treat with this hybrid that will likely change the game.
What initially looks like a gorgeous mini fightstick ends up being another RetroArcadeCrafts specimen of lackluster hardware that does not deserve any of your hard earned money.
This mini fightstick's joystick struggles to properly register diagonal motions, and the buttons feel like plastic. It does not look good either. Thus, avoid it at all costs.
PXN suspiciously sneaks in what is potentially a Mad Catz knockoff that actually needs a native controller to run on consoles. That and a faulty joystick aside, the performance is passable at best.
The moment you realize that the Neogeo Arcade Stick Pro is good both as a console and as a standalone fightstick is the moment you realize that SNK created a great piece of equipment.
The PXN-0082 can only be considered decent compared to its competition within the category of mini fightsticks as most mini fightsticks are rather lackluster.
