The first-generation of the HORI Fighting Stick are a series of arcade game controllers released by HORI since July 31, 1992.
Unlike the Joystick-7 before it, the Fighting Stick use the same joystick and buttons that can be found on the fighting arcade cabinets. It has a Seimitsu-made joystick. Other features such as slow motion function (which pauses and un-pauses the game repeatedly) and turbo function. The first-generation Fighting Stick are the first Hori products to bears the Fighting Stick naming, which carries over to many future Hori products to this day, with the latest being the Fighting Stick Alpha as of May 2023.
The first-generation Fighting Stick are available in two models. The Fighting Stick for Super Famicom is the first release, and is made specifically for Super Famicom/SNES. The second model, the HORI FIghting Stick PC, was released on June 12, 1993 and was made specifically for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16.
Due to made specifically for the two aforementioned consoles, all first-generation Fighting Stick models requires a third-party adapter to be able to use on PC (See Adapters), and even then, they will acts as DirectInput devices, requiring the use of a third-party wrapper to play games that only support the XInput API.
