8BitDo’s second arcade stick is moddable, stylish and versatile

Sponsored Links It’s been awhile since I used a fight stick. As a teenager, I would venture into my nearest arcade and spend what little money I had on Dance Dance Revolution. Once my legs had turned to mush, I would hobble over to the Tekken cabinets and get annihilated by a fighting game fanatic who never seemed to leave.

Apple Reportedly Cancels Some Upcoming Apple Arcade Game Contracts in an Effort to Restructure Service and Increase “Engagement”

The very basics of the game had you playing as a stickman martial arts warrior who fended off enemies approaching from both the left and the right of the screen. Like I said, the mechanics were simple as it only utilized two
