SANWA GT-Y Upgraded Version – Model GTN-Y, Designed for JLF-TP-8YT Original Joysticks, 4 & 8-Way Adjustable Arcade Restrictor Gate, GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Plate for Sanwa JLF Joysticks

Perfect , super easy installation. Fits better than older versions . Older ones had a tendency to be a little difficult to get off and on . The cut outs for the tabs are much better . 5 arcade sticks total , will prolly replace all the old ones eventually whenever I do stick maintenance.

Fantastic addition for the 8BitDo Arcade Stick. Super easy to install and works exactly how I wanted! Highly recommend.

There are purists who would disagree with me, but I swear up and down with the awesomeness of this product. This Octagonal Restrictor Gate is a MUST for my style of fighting gameplay. Most SANWA joysticks come with a Square Restrictor Gate in place, as that is the standard for Japanese arcade machines. Now, while I can play with the Square, I much prefer the Octagon. I find it much more suited for my style of play in fighting games, such as STREET FIGHTER, KING OF FIGHTERS, and MARVEL VS. CAPCOM. As a “Shoto” player (one who uses Ken, Ryu, and Akuma) this gate allows me to execute my special moves with precision and ease. With this, you’ll be pulling off “Sho Ryu Ken’s” and “Hadou Kens” like Daigo Umehara! It’s also well suited for fighters who are used to a lot of 360 degree movements, like Zangief. This Restrictor Gate is designed by SANWA, for SANWA joysticks. If you are customizing your own arcade-style stick, or you have your own customs arcade system, this simple device makes fighting games a breeze! For me, I can’t imagine not playing fighting games without the Octagonal Restrictor Gate in place. This makes a huge difference in my gameplay, and I highly recommend it for any serious fighting game fan.

Con este gate es más sencillo realizar los movimientos especiales de los personajes, claro, siempre es requerida la práctica constante. Pero, sin duda, es una gran ayuda a mejorar en los fighting games. Lo instalé en el 8BitDo Arcade Stick, perfectamente compatible.

Exactly as described great prize high quality fit perfect improved everything

I saw several reviews that said it would not work with this particular cabinet but I managed to get them on there after a bit of a struggle. Very easy to install too overall from start to finish, just YouTube it. Just be patient and try to get the tabs in the holes slowly bc its a very very snug fit. Once they are all in there you have to press down pretty firmly and hold the opposite side down. to get them to lock in but they are pretty sturdy tabs. I wasnt concerned the tabs were going to break even when was figuring it out. It was like playing a whole new game. A MUST for any decent StreetFighter player.

It helps with me directions on the pad in a great way

I wanted a different gate for my arcade stick. I like to play platforming games with my stick and a square gate made it a little odd to move characters in 3D spaces. The swap was as easy as unscrewing the back of the controller, pulling out the old gate and replacing it with the new gate. Works great!

Great quality! If you are Shoto (Ryu, Ken or Akuma etc.) Player like me, you need to buy this asap. It'll be much easier to perform execution for these type of characters. Just go for it.

Muy buen producto. Llegó en el tiempo estimado. Yo lo compré para la N30 Arcade de 8bitdo y usarla en Nintendo Switch ya que de fabrica esa palanca viene con 4 posiciones solamente (en fotos es la pieza de plastico transparente y la Sanwa es la q tiene plastico amarillo), le quedó a la perfeccion y es muy facil de instalar... La palanca de 8bitdo de fabrica es de 4 posiciones como lo mencioné antes, se mueve y responde bien, pero en juegos de peleas se disfruta y se juega mejor con una de estas de 8 posiciones (solo cambiando esa pieza plastica transparente por esta de Sanwa ya tenemos 8 posiciones, muy facil). No fué elevado el precio y la calidad de sanwa pues mas que magnifica... siento que hubiera quedado mejor con una pieza de estas circular... pero por desgracia no la vende Amazon, esta de 8 posiciones tambien es muy buena opcion. Dejó fotos, el acrílico con el centro color amarillo, es el de 8 posiciones, y el que es todo transparente es el de 4 posiciones (El que viene de fábrica con la palanca de 8bitdo). Es genial jugar juegos de peleas con 8 posiciones, los 'poderes' salen más fluidos. Super recomendado !

Bardzo dobre blokady Sanwa 8 kierunkowe.

Some ppl don’t like it. I found it improved my play 2X Can just feel the directions now. Super easy to get combos and attacks now.

My dragonslay arcade stick arrived with a square gate which was not something I was used to so I ordered this, and it arrived very quickly and without any damage. Installation was a breeze and now I have an arcade stick that has the same feel as back in 80s when I was spending all might hours at the arcades, all the moves are so much easier with octa-gate and if you didn't already know sanwa parts are the best in the market so no surprises there. Definitely would recommend this product
