The Monkey King is shameful enough by itself, just leave it alone!

I have to say that this is a great list. If I have anything to add, I certainly will. The Wii is the best current retro console, and it's good to get some information out on what games support different peripherals.

they seem to be out of stock, but maybe there are some elsewhere
I would assume that the neo stick has the same compatibility rate? I can't imagine how the hardware works is different enough to not be compatible with some things.

thanks for the list. I'm mostly commenting to subscribe to the thread. I think i'll pick the stick up if samurai showdown and KOF run fine.

After tinkering with mine I came to the conclusion I had before I bought it:
View the sticks as hacked classic controllers (using the dpad for the main interface). Meaning any game you can use the Dpad on the Classic Controller you can use for the stick for. So games like NiGHTS and Mario Kart 64, which use the stick, are right out, however games like Dr Mario and Castle of Shikigami 3 are fine.

The Neogeo stick is pretty, but for the price of one you can almost buy two Hori sticks. (as of this posting the Neo Geo 2 stick is $75-80 on Ebay and the Hori is $40-50 - I got my two for $30 at Frys).

I got mine for like 35 or something just as they came out, which was great - and Im gonna show my wife this thread as evidence of something I bought actually going up in value haha :p

it is great - although I find the buttons a bit 'soft' - although maybe thats the way they always were (Ive never had the luxury of playing a NeoGeo) - it is very nice though as even though Im usually a militant wire supporter it is relaxing to not need them for a change - also having an octagonal gate is fun too.

I'm waiting for my HORI stick to arrive in the mail.. I don't own a classic controller, can anyone supply updates to this list?
That's such a bummer that Metal Slug Anthology isn't supported! i was looking forward to playing that with an arcade stick...
