I'd like to pick up an extra Nintendo joystick for Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Junior. Mike's has a used joystick for an okay price ($20). However, it is 8 way.

Now, I know the 8 way restrictor plate can be switched with a 4 way plate. Does anybody know if then it would be the same as the donkey kong joystick? Anybody know if there were major differences between 8 way and 4 way Nintendo joysticks? My biggest concern, I guess, would be the length of the joystick shaft and the size of the ball top.
