I remember Beeshu fondly during the late 1980's...they made some great joysticks that used real microswitches and proper Japanese balltop joysticks. Sure the NES Advantage was a great stick, but you couldn't top some of Beeshu's NES arcade sticks back in those days. They even had a right handed model!
