Ahh yes, this bad boy: http://cgi.ebay.com/Wii-HORI-SOUL-CALIB ... 286.c0.m14

I wonder if that hashiriya1 fella could get one without the super fucked shipping that this guy is offering. I never play fighters on the cube, but have always wanted one for some reason....
Yeah, that HORI stick looks great, but the shipping that guy is offering on it is atrocious compared to a realistic rate like Hashiriya1's usual ones.

Did you ever find that elusive Namco stick Modman? I used to use one of those at a friends house a few years back. Ever since you posted that pic looking for one its been on my mind. :lol:

I don't know why this stick doesn't get more love. I have one exclusive for Xbox and the Universal one. Both were found for $30 each and modded with light up Hori for $50.

I wouldn't let myself spend $50 on a controller though.

Does the stick emulate the dpad or the stick of the standard controller? I am guessing the dpad, like most of them, but thought I would ask. The easy way to test this is put in a game that you cannot control the character with the dpad, ie Zelda or Mario, and see what happens.

I found one of these at the pawn the other day for $15! Just waiting on my parts to come in. No light ups for me though, just black competitions. :D

The Nuby Stick that the thread started with is analog. But it doesn't feel quite like an analog stick. Just imagine somewhere between a "clicky clicky" and a flight stick. And the buttons are "soft". Think NES advantage or US Saturn stick.

I was never really into mine, but hell, it's got connections for PS2, CG, and XBOX.

And the Pelican Sticks get no love because they were quite hit-or-miss. They DID make one exclusively for GC. I tried on two occasions to bring one home. Both times I had problems with buttons sticking.
