The Hit Box, a stick-less alternative to the classic arcade setup, represents an unusual form of input for fighting game enthusiasts. Essentially, the device takes the knobby portion of the controller and turns it into four buttons. Playing a fighting game just became more akin to using a funky keyboard!
The device is the brainchild of the Husser Brothers (Brian and Dustin). If you’re interested in the extreme details of its design, you should check out a lengthy post on Shoryuken. If you’re interested in purchasing one, you can contact Dustin directly at Hitboxes[at]gmail[dawt]com. We’ve posted the Hit Box basics video and an AngryBananas.com interview with the brothers after the break.
