Thank you for your patience. I may have made you wait a little too long.
The other day, we reported on the opening of the "NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO" that we borrowed from SNK, and now we'd like to share with you a review of how it actually works!
We would like to have Nash Tajima, who is a regular at this site, use the NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO and share his thoughts on it with you!

<h2>Let's Play! </h2>
<p>I was going to play "The King of Fighters '96", the year of Nash Tajima's birth, but it had just been skipped, so I played "<strong>The King of Fighters '97</strong>"! </p>

As expected of Nash Tajima. He shows his overwhelming performance even in the title he plays for the first time.
We asked him how it felt to use it...
Nash can use anything, but the unique clicky lever is very interesting to me.
The touch feeling of the buttons is also good for Nash. I can feel it when I press it, so I don't make typing mistakes.
The size is just right, and the weight is light so it doesn't feel oppressive, so Nash had a great play time.
Nash Tajima also liked it.
Nash Tajima seems to like it too.
<p>The device has an earphone jack, which allows direct audio output from the device when used in console mode.
It is nice to be able to enjoy audio even when using a monitor without speakers. </p><p

Nash Tajima seemed satisfied with the powerful sound.
Let's face off!
When one NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO is used in console mode, the other NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO can be connected to the USB Type-A port on the main unit in "joystick mode". When one NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO is used in console mode, the other NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO can be connected to the USB Type-A port of the main unit.
<p>When connected, the "NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO" symbol appears in the lower right corner of the menu screen, so you can tell at a glance if the device is recognized. </p
<p>We asked Kori, who is a familiar face on funglr Gmaes, to take on Nash Tajima. The title is "<strong>SAMURAI SHODOWN ZERO SPECIAL</strong>"! </p> <p><figure

Kori uses "Tam Tam" and Nash Tajima uses "Mina Magana", a character also available in "SAMURAI SPIRITS" for PS4/Xbox One/Nintendo Switch.
Kori was a little intimidated by Nash Tajima's relentless attack.
Nash Tajima won the matchup.
<p>The game seemed to have no delay or discomfort in operation and was being played happily. </p>

<h2>Let's connect to PC! </h2>
<p>"NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO" can be used not only with "NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO" and "NEOGEO mini" but also with PC by setting it to "Joystick Mode". NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO" and "NEOGEO mini" as well as on a PC.
We actually had it used on Digital Crafter's "<strong>Fight of Animals</strong>"! </p

"Fight of Animals" was also the first time for Nash Tajima to play this game, but he seemed to get used to it quickly with his overwhelming sense of style.
He was thrilled by the adorable movements of "Slender Cat", my favorite character, and beat up "Muscle Beluga" to a pulp.
It seemed to be usable without any discomfort when used on a PC, and the user felt that it had a high degree of perfection as an arcade controller. </p></figure

100 mega-shock class item
"The NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO was a very complete item, both as a game and as an arcade controller.
It looks cute and you can tell from the information on the official website, but you can't tell how easy it is to use or how heavy it is until you actually touch it.
The "NEOGEO Arcade Stick PRO" is now on sale and is priced at 13,900 JPY (excluding tax) *$134.5 USD!
Now that I've had a chance to try it, I can say with a loud voice that it's a steal considering that it can be used as an arcade controller and contains 20 gorgeous titles!
