A fine Arcade Stick from Hori (must buy) December 26, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this stick recently on import and as a result am very impressed by it.
The build quality is wonderful, every aspect has a feel of quality all over it. I am aware Hori make other such sticks for other consoles such as the 360 and PS3, and while those are equally good this one wins out in terms of aesthetics, it looks nice and minimal, unlike the others.
The buttons are arcade machine buttons plain and simple, they are as click-able and as sturdy as you would want them to be. The Joystick itself feels strong and great to use with a rotating ball which is perfect for firing fireballs in fighting games. All six buttons support Turbo Mode which can be selected independently for each button (20 clicks a second). The housing on top is made from strong durable plastic and the panel that has the buttons and joystick on is glossy smooth and very comfortable. The underside has a strong steel metal panel. The device is well enclosed.
This controller is compatible with all Wii games that use the Classic Controller, that also includes the long back catalogue of games that is available on the Virtual Console. The Joystick plugs into the Wii Remote's extension port in the same way the Nunchuk would. I myself have been using the stick to play Street Fighter 2s/Turbo (SNES) and a load of classic shoot-em ups, and the Joystick feels great with all.
Their is now a load of classic Neo Geo fighting games that are due this coming year on the Virtual Console, games like Samurai Showdown (must buy), Mark of the Wolves (must buy), Fatal Fury Final Bout. The Neo Geo of course also used a primary joystick of this kind, therefore any Neo Geo games are destined to control as well as they ever did using this.
I can happily give this joystick 9/10, I am only deducting 1 mark because it does not house the Wii Remote that it must use for power and Wi Fi connectivity to Wii but then Perhaps it could not due to techinical reasons. Other than that, which is such a minor thing given the quality elsewhere I highly recommend this to anyone that wants to take advantage of using a joystick in fighting and shooting games.
A excellent Hori product that is understandably licensed by Nintendo [9/10]. 29.99 is a great price to pay for this quality.
