Huh. I think I could build an NES-compatible joypad.

More interestingly I think I could adapt it to make it compatible with my arcade stick.  Not directly relevant to the Super Famicom, but it looks like that uses a similar approach to it's joypads.

So I think the practical upshot is that I could wire all the buttons in the stick to, say, a DB15 connector, and then connect that to a different controller board allowing me to use a real arcade stick across different home computer platforms.
