| HORI Fighting Stick Multi |
The HORI Dual Heavy Weight, also known as the HORI Fighting Sitck Dual in Japan, is an arcade game controller released by Hori on November 19, 1994.
The Dual Heavy Weight is essentially an affordable version of the Fighting Stick Multi, but only with support for the Super Famicom/SNES and the Mega Drive/Genesis consoles. It doesn't have an detachable cables. Other features like turbo function and slow motion function were retained.
A minor revised model, the HORI Fighting Stick Dual Plus, was released in Japan in December 1995. The revised model include a Genesis-to-Saturn adapter.
Due to being made specifically for video game consoles, the Dual Heavy Weight requires a third-party adapter to be able to use on PC (See Adapters), and even then, it will acts as a DirectInput device, requiring the use of a third-party wrapper to play games that only support the XInput API.
