Hori Fight Stick - Mini: Black for PlayStation 4

Product Information

The Turbo function, however, has its own label and a LED, and it works as well as you’d expect it to. If you remove the handles from the standard PS4 controller, what’s left if is roughly the same size of the mini gamepad. And, because it is plug-and-play compatible, you never have to worry about charging it, keeping the kids entertained for longer.

The red review unit I tested features Ryu and Ken, the iconic Street Fighter II duo, in dramatic fighting poses, as well as the equally iconic Street Fighter II logo.The Nintendo Switch is home to many fighting games, including Dragon Ball FighterZ, Mortal Kombat 11, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and nearly all of the classic Neo Geo titles. Turbo isn't an especially helpful fighting game feature, but it comes in clutch when playing a shmup, a video game genre that requires you to rapidly hammer the fire button.

Unless you've logged ridiculous hours on high-end fight sticks such as the Qanba Dragon or Vitrix Pro FS, you'll be more than happy with what Hori offers with this controller. It’s the standard Nintendo style Cross-shaped D-Pad and functions about as well as you’d expect from it. HORI's HDMI Cable delivers 8K/4K graphics with quality you can rely on while playing even the newest titles for the. com and PC Magazine are among the federally registered trademarks of Ziff Davis and may not be used by third parties without explicit permission. It might not be as portable as the Joycons themselves, and necessitates some kind of dock or USB-A to USB-C converter, but even then its small size makes it very portable.

One thing I really dislike with this controller, visually speaking, is that the printing doesn’t extend to the top of the front shell. If you have games that require you to move the controller around, this controller is not going to work for you. I find myself recommending Hori’s Mini Pad for Switch on the basis of it stacking up nicely even against the first party devices. Despite its small size, the Fighting Stick Mini is surprisingly comfortable with ample room to rest your wrists, and the rubberized feet grip firmly to smooth surfaces for stability.
