moycon Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 "Hori has confirmed to IGN that a US release is also planned" Ah Ok good deal. Now this should increase chances of seeing some of the old school fighters on VC. I wonder if you will be able to play head-to-head on line?

Fighter17 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I never tried a Hori stick in my life, so I just order two of them for the Saturn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKaiju Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I never tried a Hori stick in my life, so I just order two of them for the Saturn. Hori makes good quality accessories. Here's an analogy. Imagine we were ranking the 3rd party manufacturers' quality based on how tall each company was in comparison to Nintendo. Hori would reach Nintendo's neck. Nyko would be about knee level. Pelican would reach Nintendo's ankle. Mad Catz would be the dog shit stuck to the bottom of Nintendo's shoe. Here's the Play-Asia link if anyone wants it. Japanese Wiimotes work with US systems, so I imagine these would as well. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-113-49-en-70-23bd.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Are there any good Xbox 360 joysticks yet? Because I'm damn tempted to put one together after swearing for a straight hour at Pac-Man Championship Edition. C'mon, Microsoft, how hard can it be to give us a REAL arcade-quality stick?

JR Hori's making one for the 360 as well. They've got one coming out w/ VF5 artwork. When's that released for the 360, July? I'm gonna pick that up for XBLA. I didn't mind the 360's analog stick for Pac Man CE at first, but the more I play the more it's frustrating me. It'd be really cool if the one Hori stick could work w/ the 360 and Wii. They both have usb ports, so *maybe*. Not holding my breath, but hey, anythings possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Sweetness. Short of a Neo Geo to Wii controller adapter this is about as good as it gets. Tho I suppose wireless would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 It looks like it might be wireless since it has the + - and home buttons like the wiimote. I haven't used a GCN controller with the VC games to know whether or not these buttons are mapped to the controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used a GCN controller with the VC games to know whether or not these buttons are mapped to the controller. I think you are right. If it plugged into the controller ports, it would be a GCN controller, not a Wii. If it plugged into a Wiimote it wouldn't need +/- Home buttons, unless it added them for convenience (which would still rock) edit: Now that I look at the classic controller, I see it adds the +/- Home buttons. So this Hori must be classic controller in an arcade package. Edited June 27, 2007 by antron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgo Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have the 360 Hori Stick. It's not wireless (so I don't expect the Wii one to be...? ), the stick is microswitched, personally I find it a little 'loose' though for real tight control. The buttons aren't microswitched but operate adequately. It's a grade beneath arcade quality, but still a huge improvement over a gamepad or the likes for arcade. I know it helped scoring big on galaga on live:) Now if they only made it 8/4-way switchable THAT would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antron Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have the 360 Hori Stick. It's not wireless (so I don't expect the Wii one to be...? ), it will more than likely plug into the Wimote. is the 360 Hori mod-able at all? Some Hori's, like the Real Arcade Pro, can be completely upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariJr Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 cant wait to play guilty gear and street fighter II turbo with this. i got a regular Sega brand stick for my saturn and it was the biggest waist of 20 dollars ever. i always regretted buying it and not getting a Hori. This will have to be my first, and im very very excited. I love the colors on the stick, looks nice. id bet you that it plugs in the wiimote.. good observation. the very fact that hori is making a stick for the console i think says alot.. says we should expect more fighters.. my favorite genre. i seriously cant wait for this and the other games to follow. I know that all there is right now is VC fighters, Neo Geo coming soon, and Guilty Gear coming out soon.. but im sure with this more devs will take advantage of this. not a bad price either for a high quality controller. better deal than the ace combat controller for the 360 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is mod able But I guess you mean configurable with dipswitches like the arcade pro? No... No switches or anything for autofire etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my point is, why would you compare the price of two completely different controllers that serve two completely different functions? Would you also say.... Not a bad price on that BMX bike I bought and a much better deal than a Porche? At least make some sense when comparing controllers...How about like say compare the Hori controller for the Wii with the Hori controller for the 360 which amazingly are about the same price AND serve the same function.

mimo Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Well done Play-asia, the stick arrived this morning Nicely packaged, and the Horri packaging looks like official Wii packaging. First impressions are good, the stick is a nice size to sit comfortably on my lap. Control is nice and clicky, not arcade quality, but not far off. Made playing Pac man, Donkey Kong, Galaga and Sonic much nicer to play IMO. I don't have (or like) fighting games, so I can't comment on it's fightability! BTW it is remote, the Wii mote plugs in a la nunchuck, with a good length of cable to put the Wiimote out of the way. All the standard Wiimote buttons are covered, home, select A,B etc, plus there is a row of dip switches at the top to toggle all of the buttons on or off. So far I am happy with my purchase, I'll let you know more when I have got a few more miles on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
