Hong Kong, April 20th of 2004 –- Lik-Sang.com, leading e-tailer of import games and cutting-edge gaming gear, today unveiled the Super Smartjoy. The Super Smartjoy is World’s first mass-produced USB adapter allowing one to use Super Nintendo Entertainment System (aka. Super Famicom) controllers on computers (PC or Mac). Production is already ongoing and stock is expected in just around a week, official release date being set at April 30th.

49 millions of gamers have enjoyed the classic days of Super Nintendo power. For many of these hardcore players, there is no better game pad than the good old SNES controller. Of course, it was not using analog control as of yet, but for 2D software, and most especially for shoot’em up or fighting titles, the Super Nintendo joypad is just as good as a digital controller gets – There is no way to make Shoryukens more smoothly. A real tease for all retrogamers and emu users out there, the Super Smartjoy can be used with any PC game not requiring any analog mode, but it will fit most perfectly when emulating old school 2D hits on a computer.

Super Smartjoy is making full use of today’s technology and comes fully plug & play for just any configuration. Built as a HID (Human Interface Device), Super Smartjoy simply works with all Windows editions ever made, as well as with Linux. It also can be configured as a game pad application on Mac computers. Several Super Smartjoy adapters can be plugged in simultaneously for multi-player action. The user-friendly interface menu makes buttons configuration as easy as 1-2-3.
