We set out to design a gaming controller that’s not just an arcade stick – it’s a weapon! Its military-grade responsiveness, thanks to a modified ethernet cable and authentic Japanese components, make it the ultimate choice for serious gamers.

The Octopus Arcade Stick = Your secret gaming weapon

Speed and accuracy are everything in a high-stakes Super Smash Bros showdown. With the Octopus Arcade Stick, you don’t just play the game – you dominate it.

We embarked on a mystical quest to redefine the essence of the classic arcade – forged from the combined glory of original Japanese components, engineered with unparalleled precision – we think even the likes of Mario would swap his power-ups for a chance to wield this beauty. Why? Because the Octopus Arcade Stick is built with Sanwa joystick and buttons, and boasts latency so low, even the blink of an eye feels like forever.

Challenge the Ordinary

You’ve felt it too; the weightlessness of a regular console controller can’t match the heft and solid click of an arcade stick. Behold the Octopus Arcade Stick – crafted to bring back the rush of arcade gaming, redefined with the finesse and accessibility of modern technology.

Why Wired?

Ever wondered why professional gamers often opt for wired connections? While some gamers favor wireless wizards, we champion the lightning-fast reflexes that only a wired stick can deliver. With the Octopus Arcade Stick, you’ll experience gaming in a whole new light – no lags or delays, just smooth, uninterrupted battles. 

Now, getting an upper hand against your opponents doesn’t take just skill, it also takes Octopus!

It’s like carrying your very own mushroom

Every Octopus is a masterpiece forged from the finest materials, a testament to Team TR’s vow of quality and excellence. From the hands of skilled artisans to the clasp of your powerful grip, this arcade stick embodies the past, endures in the present, and evolves for the future.

No Compromise on Connection

While others cut corners with wireless, we’ve doubled down on the direct, wired connection for that frame-perfect input. It’s the pro player’s choice: immediate response, no excuses.

The Octopus is also built to take retro gaming into a new era. Compatible with Nintendo Switch, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, PC, Analogue Pocket Dock, MISTer FPGA, and more, it’s your all-in-one controller for any gaming genre, whether beat em ups, shmups, or other classic arcade cores.

We’ve gone all-in on the Octopus, our dream project

We’re a small team, but our passion for gaming is colossal. We’ve crafted this fight stick with our very own hands, fuelled by memories of arcade days – the neon lights, bubblegum floors, the friendships, the unforgettable sounds of victory and defeat. All in the arcade.

We haven’t gone the usual route with a massive marketing budget or investors breathing down our necks for quick returns. Instead, we’ve built something from the ground up, with a grassroots campaign, driven by pure love for gaming.

This is not just a crowdfunding campaign, it’s a celebration of our journey. Here is a trailer we made to accompany this campaign, it features our CEO, Yunus, who we encouraged out of stuntman retirement to blend his love for filmmaking, storytelling, and top-notch fight sticks. We made a short film that we will release when the campaign achieves our $80,000 stretch goal – it was a labor of love, made possible by friends who share our vision, lugging arcade machines up flights of stairs, working tirelessly to recreate the magic of the 90s – not with dull specs, but with heart-pounding action and vibrant energy.

This is where our budget went – into creating something that resonates with the soul of gaming. And now, we turn to you, our fellow gamers, to help spread the word, back our crowdfunder. Let’s make some noise and bring back the spirit of those epic 90s gaming ads together! Your support means the world to us.

We invite you to join us in this adventure, let’s make the Octopus a legend!
