GOPODULAR!® Arcade Control Panel for PC & consoles:

Fighting Minions™ - JP edition

Real Arcade Controls:

The JP edition of the Fighting Minions arcade controller uses a Sanwa JLF 8-way balltop joystick that is exactly what is placed in the Japanese commercial environment.  In America, Sanwa parts were mostly used in Neo Geo "Candy Cabs".  The buttons are genuine Sanwa OSBN-30's.   These switches won't fatigue your fingers and react extremely fast.  We do not use no-name imitation controls.  We only use name brand, reputable components.

Compare our Controller Layout:

The layout of the controller gives great gameplay on fighting games and also works great for Shmups.  We even included a 7th button for supporting the original layout of Neo-Geo titles.  Compare our layout to the original panels from the full-size arcade machines:

		Original Control Panels:		Notes:
Virtua Fighter 2 Control Panel				Exact layout supported!
Mortal Kombat 3 Control Panel				The block button is almost exactly per the original.
Tiger-Heli Control Panel				Exact layout supported!.
Neo Geo Control Panel				Our panels have a slight curve.
Soul Calibur Control Panel				Our layout is rotated clockwise from the original.

Arcade Panel Construction:

Bolts?  What bolts?  Controls *can* be mounted without the ugliness of having bolts or other metal sticking through the panel.  It just takes a little more time.   GOPODULAR! takes that extra time.  Nobody else does.  Instead, they'll use wood screws from the bottom and try and pass that off.  This is what puts our construction techniques above the others in the industry.  This panel is based off of panels built for commercial use and we concentrated on what game genre this panel is for, not how easily it can be built.  Our competitors just slap controls in a cheap melamine box.  You won't see ugly mounting holes or glue joints on our controllers.  Watch out for our imitators that use wood screws from the bottom.  MDF, particle board and manufactured woods like it don't allow you to remove and reinsert screws.  That's not what they were designed for.  Yet that's what you'll be getting if you buy from someone else.

Make the Right Choice:

You may be a kid at heart, but you don't want a kid's controller.  GOPODULAR! uses the highest quality parts available, while the "other guys" use imitation controls and cheap assembly methods.  Shop around.  Compare what we offer to what else is out there.  Ask yourself who offers the best.  We know you'll be back.
