Retro ps1 controller - the Namco NeGcon

[Wilmer Digreux]

The NeGcon is a motion-based video game controller manufactured in 1995 by Namco for the PlayStation. Designed to replicate the analog-stick movement used in the arcade game Cyber Sled (1993); the name comes from the Japanese word "nejiru", meaning "to twist."

Have you ever seen one of these? I never saw these back in the day and i'm wondering why not? This thing would have been awesome.

i remember it but I don't think it was ever released here.

 

[Tatra]

Absolutely. But I never got one because I thought it was a gimmick.

I know exactly how I got carpal tunnel ! Didn't even need a gimmick controller to do it lol.

That was a great controller. Made samurai showdown a totally different game if you had that bad boy.

Imagine trying to play SF2 on Genesis before that came out.

You had to use the start button to switch between punch and kick.

I don't understand how Genesis was originally having three buttons on the right side and later they made ones with six buttons on the right side to sort of keep up with SNES buttons for Street Fighter.

I had that too and it was pretty sturdy.

I bought something similar by Horii for Super Famicom.

I did, you had to press the start button to switch strikes. It was a fucking nightmare.

Yeah a friend of mine bought one of these back in the early days of ps1 since we loved Racing games, specially ridge Racer, and had no money and real good options to get a driving wheel. I tried it myself and it was super responsive and easy to the the hang of after a couple of tries, but it didn't last long. My friend broke it not even a month after buying it by cranking it too hard.

You had to press the start button to shift between punching and kicking, Made doing anything combo related horrible.

Was the suck lol.
