I've just been browsing some auctions site and came across something interesting.




The auction said they're motion controllers for the SNES, but I couldn't find any info on them through google.
Does anyone here know something about those?
And more importantly, are they worth 20$ for 2 of them?

As a SNES collector, yes, it's worth it.  I would love some extra dorky, sorta unknown item like that.  I don't have any more info for ya though.  Sorry  :-\

maybe for nostalgic "this was a motion controller years before the wii" but not for playing

Meh, then it's not worth it. I'd rather buy a controller to use it, not for it to gather dust.

So, here's another question that's bugging me. I'm interested in getting a MadCatz FightPad for my PC, but there's no PC specific version of it.  Does anyone know if the X360 version works on PC (like most X-Input devices)?

I am pretty sure it would. My MadCatz TE stick works on my PC. Also, I believe people often use MadCatz controller PCBs for 360 and PC support on their DIY arcade stick builds.
