An arcade stick thread

[Neil]

I'll give it a go stock and see how I like it first

[Soundwave]

Got the Namco stick, thanks again Neil

What did you get it for and what was the condition like Neil?

Looking at one now.

Brace yourself:



?60 posted though, bit much for my tastes. Lovely condition though.

Am I right in saying, it’s probably one of the nicest looking production model arcade sticks in existence?

[speedlolita]

Well, personally..

Pink and yellow. Classy.

Still need to get around to finishing the mod of my Madcatz fightstick. It's been all Sanwa'ed up, but need to replace the artwork with something, and probably vinyl dye the whole thing to match the new stick and buttons (purple, yay)

[Wools]

That’s really nice too, but I’m gravitating towards the black & yellow of the Namco!

I’ve owned an official Dreamcast Stick, Hori Soul Calibur 2 PS2 Stick, Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 PS2 Stick, and with my current enthusiasm for the PlayStation, possibly a Namco PS1 Stick as well!

Is there a general consensus over what is the best production level arcade stick overall?

[speedlolita]

Virtua Stick High Grade is very high on my list imo.

I've owned:

2x Dreamcast Stick
Namco
VSHG
TE
HRAP EX-SE
HRAP2
HSS-0136

And I feel that the HRAP2 and VSHG are my favourites. I want another VSHG though, sold mine.

My multi console TE isn't worth selling though probably considering I've spent so much on it.

Well, personally..

I love my HRAP1b but I really wish it had this layout by default instead of L1 and L2 being at the far left.

[CrispyXUK]

Hmmm, I have PS3/360 modded Dreamcast stick I'm not using if there's any interest?

[speedlolita]

Yeah, that's why I don't like the HRAP1.

[Neil]

I paid ?50 delivered for the Namco which I'm happy with

[speedlolita]

Ah nice, that's more like it.

[Wools]

That's a good price, there's only 2 boxed Namco Arcade sticks on eBay and one is ?80, and the other is ?10 and rising with around a week to go...
