What's the purpose to purchase a Wii if you play with that? It kills the fun!

It's ok I guess, but only if you're addicted on an arcade game from the 90's or earlier. I know I'm not getting it.

That's pretty nice. I'd use it A LOT for the arcade games on the virtual console and fighting ones.

You'd laugh if you were a New Zealander and you heard the name Hori.

Yeah, this is for VC. Much better than playing it on the VC controller.

That's horrible, if you want to play a game with that go buy a sega.

I'm thoroughly excited for this. Hori has manufactured the best quality arcade accessories for so many years, and there's finally one for the Wii BEFORE any major fighting titles hit the library! Excellent for VC and GGXAC.

Have any of you guys actually played Guilty Gear on the Wii? It's horrible with the movements. This was meant for classic titles from the Wii shop channel, AND 2D fighting games.

I know it is great, I've been looking for a joystick so I can play the old school games I played with my son when he was young. Good someone had vision and could see the usefulness.

Some games were meant to be played on sticks. Understand that please. This wasn't made for you to play Twilight Princess with, nor was it made to replace the Wiimote. It's for fighters and arcade style games. Get it if you are really into those games.

It's nice to see some people are being a little more open minded than others. I think it looks great and would welcome it with big loving arms. Bring on KOF 94.

Why is it that any "joystick for Wii" that I see is NOT a joystick but a daft flattened nunchuck controller? Does anyone make an ACTUAL JOYSTICK that you can use on the Wii?
