    An arcade stick thread

    With StreetFighter IV, KOF XII and the Cave releases on the 360 this year; arcade sticks are back in a big way I guess! Let us discuss them here!

    Any advice on a good (i.e. Sanwa) 360/PS3 stick and where to pick one up? I have a MadCatz SFIV TE pre-ordered, though who knows if that will be honored with the supply/demand as it is.

      Good call for a thread, can anyone recommend one that works on PC, and is relatively cheap? (for a beginner like me).

        The 360 hori EX2 fighting stick works on pc well. Don't need to install any drivers for xp or vista. Played a good lot of dodonpachi on mame with this. Certainly better than a keyboard anyway.

            Balls! Missed the boat completely on the MadCatz FightStick TE for the 360. Checking for updates daily, but there's absolutely no update on whether they'll make more. Even the normal fightstick and the fightpads cannot be pre-ordered (wanted Ken, getting Chun-Li instead -- still nice ).

            Are there any more 2D fighters PAL bound to take advantage of the sticks with?

              Think Battle Fantasia is due a PAL release at some point.

              Other than that it's just Xbox Live as far as I know.

              I'm just praying for a Blazblue 360 version...I think I'll cry if it stays a PS3 exclusive

                I thought it was meant to be out early this year. Any word on it?

                  Best I can find is the Australian PAL release on 23rd February...

                    Far from cheap though at about ?107 + shipping & customs

                    I'd snap one up in a second if it was nearer the ?70-?80 mark

                    Best I'll be doing is modding my Hori EX2 I think...or at least paying someone too lol

                      The UK release date is listed as 6th March on Gameplay and Amazon.

                        Thanks for that. Hopefully it will appear then.

                          KOF 12, Tekken 6 later in the year. There's some talk of Marvel vs Capcom 2 hitting Live/PSN, it has been spotted on Partnernet recently.

                            Is Tekken going 2D?
