Support NeoGAF

[D.Lo]

If the remote docks in it (like a VMU in the DC stick), and therefore it's wireless, and has full classic controller compatibility, this will be amazing.

It would need an analogue mode to navigate the menus. But given it has a home button, it seems this would be likely.

Now if only someone would release that tiny patch allowing Metal Slug Anthology to use the classic controller...

 

[BocoDragon]

there's some fundamental incompatibility between an arcade stick and wii's tampon packaging aesthetic.

Not really... White is the color of Sega candy cabs and such.

Hori are known for their accessories high quality.
Remember:

Without this controller I couldn't play Soul Calibur 2.

This controller sucked balls. I bought it for GBA games. And why the hell would you play SCII with a D-pad?

Did everyone forget SFII Turbo would benefit the most from this? Possibly MKA, the upcoming Art of Fighting collection and the Metal Slug Anthology.

Have you seen the fighting stick options for Cube?

 

[farnham]

seriously for what game ... ??

 

[SouthernDragon]

For Guilty Gear, maybe?

Damn, I'm going to have a freakin' ton of controllers for my Wii... :x

 

[Vic]

Wow, look like it was especially made for the NeoGeo VC games.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

How do you know it's bluetooth?

I guess it could be USB, but it probably just plugs into a wiimote. The Wiimote is bluetooth.

BETTER DEAL ALERT:

You can pre-order this from Yesasia.com for 59.99 with free worldwide shipping. US customers use coupon code "US" by the 4th of July lol ) for $5 off, making the total 54.99 rather than ~77 USD from Play-Asia.

I'll probably get this if it works with Metal Slug Anthology, will be good for GC Capcom vs. SNK and Ikaruga also

 

[Jirotrom]

YAY!!!! Im getting this for all the VC fighters coming and guilty gear and KOF XI and art of fighting. I was hoping for this

 

[C.T.]

Soul Calibur 2 Stick, nuff said.

 

[Branduil]

Will Smash Bros have digital control? If so, count me in for one of these.

...


You've never played Smash Brothers, have you?

 

[HyperZone<3]

i haven't been following games that much, but are there many non-VC fighting games for Wii?

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core, and SNK has strongly implied that they will be putting future 2D releases on the Wii. Milestone (Chaos Field, Radio Allergy guys) have confirmed they're working on a shooter (probably Karous, 2D Crow based shooter)for the Wii.

and Art of Fighting Anthology (yay?) has been rated for Wii, but no movement has been seen since.

I'd still rather see the Guncon 3, with support, for the Wii, but that stick shure is awfully purty.

 

[Crayon Shinchan]

The HG Virtua Stick has really spoilt us huh? After getting used to it (or pictures of it), this stuff looks like really gimmicky crap.

But then, this is what they've looked like in the past...

 

[rollingstart]

I cant believe they have a turbo switch for every button.

I dont remember the Hori Fighting Stick 3 having a Turbo switch for every button. Everything other than the top row of buttons/switches, this seems exactly the same as the FS3 and the 360 stick.

 

[fallengorn]

I doubt it would work for Metal Slug Anthology. It doesn't even support the classic controller. How would it suddenly support the fighting stick?

Metal Slug Anthology Special Edition plz.

Danke, just pre-ordered this thing right now. =)

The most criminal thing about the controls for MSA is the fact that cant use the friggn d-pad on the wavebird! Havent even entertained the thought of playing with a Wii remote as I shudder at the thought of shaking the control to throw an effing grenade.

I am very tempted, but I thinkI'll wait until the thig comes out so I can know if its compatible with MSA and Gamecube games. Im guessing that if it supports GC titles you can use it for Metal Slug Anthology also as that has GC pad support... *shrug*

It worked beautifully with Soul Calibur 2. I used it for Capcom Vs Snk 2 EO as well, the control is solid and the D-pad is very good, it has the right size and feel (except that you can't pull off Zangief's Full circle Grab moves).

For SC2 it was downright amazing, best controller for that game.

 

[Bartman3010]

I still use those controllers for some Virtual Console games. Its a shame about the button layout for some of them.

Theres still a suprisingly decent amount of fighting games for the Wii, Dragon Ball Z - Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, and of course the Virtual Console titles.

Still, when exactly are Neo Geo games coming to the VC?

 

[therapist]

If it works for all VC games , and Metal Slug then its worth it.
Otherwise,not at the moment.

And imo, its REALLY ugly.

Edit : It probably looks a lot better in person , but for some reason i think it looks hideous in the shots ive seen. Would prefer a different color or something.

I love this controller, I played SC2 tournaments with this xD

I even got GC adapters so I can use this on my PC.

Really love this controller *heart* <3

BOO. Yesasia raised their price to 74.99. I pre-ordered one yesterday, but wanted to order a second.

 

[Mr Jared]

I will buy this and use it to play the greatest fighting game on the Wii.

[Threi]

so basically it is a CC in an arcade stick box.

DO WANT.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice seeing actual pictures of the thing.

MotW on VC plz.

you my friend...have great taste.

I have no use for it...yet it's so tempting.

funny, I'm the same way :lol :lol

 

[donkey show]

Still waiting for my YesAsia purchase to come in. ;_;

I think I'll just get a second one from the local import store. I finally got my mail-in rebates for my mobile and my bail from the speeding ticket I beat so it's time to splurge.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I wonder if it has built in waggle

 

[Visualante]

I wish they'd let you plug the controller into the actual unit instead of having a cable.

It could use the weight I reckon.

 

[Rat Salad]

Finally an arcade stick! Now we can properly play the Genesis port of VF2.

Oh shit.
:lol

 

[rollingstart]

with the exception of NeoGeo on VC, this is useless.

 

[Valtox]

Virtua Fighter 2 Genesis DEMANDS a Virtua Stick!

lol:lol

 

[Xisiqomelir]

with the exception of NeoGeo on VC, this is useless.

AC is coming next month.

 

[Vic]

AC is coming next month.

AC?

 

[Crushed]

AC?

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core.

 

[Vic]

oh...

 

[CTLance]

Yeah, it looks like there's plenty space for a compartement for the Wiimote. I mean, the Wiimote itself has these guide rail things on the side for a reason.

Whatever. I want it, somehow. Why and for what game, I don't know. LONG LIVE CONSUMERISM!

 

[donkey show]

Just bought a second Fighting Stick to supplement the first one I'm still waiting for in the mail. It's so convenient having an import store close to work.

 

[brain_stew]

I have no use for it...yet it's so tempting.

Same here to be honest, it just looks so sexy. Then again my VC collection is increasing by the day so it woould get some use and if I can get it working via bluetooth with my laptop, then things could get interesting. On that note, has anyone used their classic controller on their PC and got any pointers for setting it up? Since this is basically a reshaped classic controller it should work with the GlovePie driver correct?

Impressions please!

yeah, but if anyone has a PS2 or PS3, I doubt they will go for the Wii version.

the biggest use out of it would come if it would work with Gamecube games, but chances are that it wont.

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

yeah, but if anyone has a PS2 or PS3, I doubt they will go for the Wii version.

Tell me about it, I'll probably skip the Wii version for PS2 for the PS3's upscaling and compatible arcade sticks. I'd even put a bet in that it's the cheaper version.

and for the people that don't own the other systems it isn't worthless. The VC has a number of games that this could be used for.

 

[Narag]

Seconded. I'm on the fence about this but I'd love a stick especialy with neo-geo coming
