It's called the Capcom Pad Soldier. Here are some pics:

I have never seen or heard of one of these. But I picked up a couple of ASCII SNES fighting sticks tonight at Rhino and saw one of these as well. I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with one of these. It looks like you use it the same way that I sometimes hold a conventional controller in SFII, only with face buttons for L and R. And at only $8 used, I might give it a whirl if anyone can recommend it.

I posted this in the middle of the night the other night. So, bump? (Doubt anyone has used it...)

That controller was the first thing I ever bought at the EB when it opened up near me about 7 years ago. I needed a replacement SNES controller anyway since my friend broke my regular one. It's great for fighting games. Good with other types. Strange for SMW since the L and R buttons scroll the screen and they're not on top. Start and select placement is also a little awkward at first.

Great pad though.
