Hope I'm not posting in the wrong place. ^^;

A few weeks ago I was asking about this. I ended up buying a pair, played for a little, and realized I suck at Virtual On and have no time to sharpen my skills (as a workaholic :frustrated:) so I'm selling them on eBay and craigslist. These sticks are built sturdy as hell and feel great.

If you're in the Bay Area/Nor*Cal you're welcome to check them/try them out.

Where in the US I can order one of these? I prefer not to import. I'm getting a Dreamcast and Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram so I'll buy it off you if you have one.

Or if you have the Saturn Twin Stick and Total Control 3 Saturn-to-Dreamcast controller adapter that would work too.

I can't guarentee that the saturn to dc would work, but I was informed way back in the dc days that it was very possible.

I can play Virtual On for Saturn without the sticks and enjoy myself, but the sticks are essential for VOOT. I have the Saturn sticks with a DC convertor and it works amazingly well. Hope this helps...

I can confirm that the Saturn to DC convertor WILL work with twin sticks. Good luck finding a pair in N. America though....especially the DC ones.

I've never seen this animal before :love:.

Can you play Gundam Side Story 0079 with it?

Ohhhh! That would be terrific. Side Stories 1-3 on Saturn were godly with twin sticks. You guys are tempting me to spend money I don't have! Shame on you! LOL

If you're interested I have a set of the Saturn twin-sticks (loose) and the Total Control 3 (boxed complete). Send me an offer via PM.

I have no idea what they go for let alone if I have enough to begin with. The total control 3 sounds nice. I could ditch those crappy 3rd party 6 button DC controllers... This is why DP rocks. Casual conversation turns up and I get introduced to something I never even knew existed.

You can find Saturn Twin Sticks fairly easy and cheap, at least that was a year or so ago. It's the EMS and the shipping bulk/weight that's gonna get you. How much them total control 3's run? There is a seller on eBay that has a multiples auction for $25 a pop $5 shipping. Is that line or what?

Random stupid thought! Does it work for lightguns too? That's not such a big deal to me though. I got my sets for each already. Just a bonus, not having to drag out them dreamcast guns. The US ones are kinda ugly. ;)

I could never find a Saturn Twin Stick under 60 bucks. :(

I'd really love to have them. "The Arcade Feel" just really gets something in me.

The Dreamcast Twin Sticks are absolutely awesome and really well built. They're an essential purchase if you have Oratario Tangram and actually want to play it authentically.

I say go for the Saturn TwinStick. Not only do they have more style, with the Total Control 3 you can use them for both the Saturn and DC VirtualOn games. I bought one years ago for about $70.00 in the US and have never regretted it.

Yes this is in the wrong place, and yes this is now being moved to Everything eBay.


For a mental note on any other threads you may make. If you've got a thread thats posing a question/statement whatever and then try to turn it into a sale thread, don't. Go into the correct forum and create a thread there. Want to Buy/Sell? Put it in Buy/Sell. Selling it on eBay/Craigslist/other online auction site post in everything eBay.

Sounds like a scam, or possibly scamola.

It's no scam and I can prove it to you. Maybe tonight if I have time.

Just for that Icarus Moonsight and smork each should buy one off me.

By trap I meant "sales pitch disguised as a discussion". Like say, you meet a good looking chick at a bar and you talk for awhile. You are really enjoying yourself but, then you realize, that you are staring directly at what you believe to be an Adam's Apple. *gulp* While you're sure that you could have gotten lucky... you'd still rather that you not. Imagined male specific throat lumps or not.

Oh well, at least you posted about Twin Sticks and not Air Jordans. That's in the plus column zone it seems for this week. LOL

Many of us here are suspicious by nature... mostly because we've been burned a few times before. If you acquire a Saturn Twin Stick down the road LMK. I'm going for just two of those and a pair of converters to use for both systems.

GL with the sale. They are nice looking sticks. :D

Oh no I'm new to the Dreamcast (just bought a used one) so I got the Twin Sticks out of impulse/excitement. I originally joined this forum looking for a pair and through post searches found a user named j_factor who had the controller. I pm'ed him about buying it from him it (if he's reading he might attest to this). I figured he wanted to keep it because he never responded so I ended up importing these from Japan.

But thanks I hope it sells.
