Hori Fighting Stick for Wii getting Rave Reviews
Image from Newegg.com
Hori's fighting stick is now available at certain online retailers, and reviews have been strong. Here's an excerpt from C3 News:
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 and is easy on the eyes, unlike the others.
Why should you care that there is a fighting stick on the Wii? For all of those awesome Neo Geo fighting games on the virtual console, that's why! It may seem like a small thing, but using a real "stick" and hitting actual arcade style buttons just feels so…. right.
Now, the Hori stick isn't technically out in the U.S., but the hipper sites are offering imports for sale, at reasonable prices (you can use import controllers on your Wii, just not the import games).

That’s awesome news! I can’t wait to bust out some mad Dee Jay moves in Super SF2 again. “MAX OUT!” I guess Hori is the real deal… I’ve been using their screen protectors for the DS for a while now, and they’re totally the best. Target stocks them a lot, or at least they have in the past… I would totally recommend them!

Yeah, I want this, someday. It can go with my SFII anniversary stick that I never use (-:
