MADCATZ新作アケコン「EGO Arcade Stick」をSaiga NAKストVプレイヤーがレビュー!
Review

An arcade controller is a necessity when playing fighting games.
MAD CATZ regrettably went bankrupt in 2017, even though it continued to produce masterpiece arcade controllers that can be said to be representative of the industry.
Many people must have spent their days in sorrow.
However, in 2018, Mad Catz Global Limited is back! And in August 2020, the long-awaited new arcade controller " EGO Arcade Stick " was announced!
Nash Tajima, Infrastructure Engineer at Saiga NAK (and Abigail user), will not miss out on the long-awaited "EGO Arcade Stick" for Mad Catz fans!
Here is Nash Tajima's exciting review of the "EGO Arcade Stick"!

MAD CATZ復活!アケコンとゲームパッドの新作を発表!

Maintenance is done by opening the bottom cover.
Nash Tajima later tried opening the lid at home and found that the panel is easily accessible, and the cables connected to each button are color-coded, making maintenance easy even for first-time Aceocon purchasers.
"I think it will also help those who say, 'I want to install an Aceocon, but I don't know which Aceocon to use!' "
