I'll start this thread with what little research I've done, and my thoughts:
Will an 8-way prevent me from playing Blaster? Will I care?
- 49-way only needed for Blaster
- 8-way needed for Splat, Bubbles and Robotron
- Microswitch-based joys suck
- Leaf-based 8-way joys are VHTF
Will an 8-way prevent me from playing Blaster? Will I care?
