If some one wants to trade for mine, I'm game. Lol, its seen little use. My main complaint is the Z button is on the left hand, should be on the right. Also I have giant hands to man handle that left side.

PS: I just looked up this controller on ebay and I'm honestly blown away at the prices.. why is this horrible hunk of plastic worth so much. :shock:


Nice N64 controllers at my FS Thread! 8)

Wii Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Fight Stick - $19.99 Gamestop
Gamestop Link - http://www.gamestop.com/wii/accessories ... tick/76853


Have you got yours yet?
Déjà vu, At this price I could not stand it and bought a second one. The second purchase had a huge label showing the discount price. The box was on the floor, why advertise like that and then place where no one can notice it? As soon as I walked up the register, another customer asked where I got it. Peeling back the sticker reveals older price tags stacked up, goes all the way up to $79.00! :shock:

Actually a hidden agenda getting a spare, I plan on modding it and looking at different approaches. For now I gave both the sticks a test run, popped the hood and posted a Review. I also tried out an initial check of a mod using jumper wires. When I do the full mod on the stick, I'll update a Guide in my Wii Gamecube Thread.

^from the pics it seems that the TvC as the same exact thing as the SF4 stick I got for PS3. Definitely a good quality stick for the price. And it was a similar situation... marked down from $80 to $30 still wrapped in plastic brand new.

Yeah, same shell, stick and buttons, just diff colors and overlay. A nice stick for the price, unfortunately so few games for wii are fully compatible with it.

^^^ I like how PAL PS2 boxes were blue. I always wished that it had been that way for NTSC boxes. I bet they make a nice contrast with black GCN boxes and green oXbox boxes.

I like the black PS2 boxes better, but I wouldn't mind seeing GameCube boxes in silver or blue maybe. Greek for some weird reason does the XBOX well.

Actually, I just remembered something: NTSC PS2 boxes are blue. Very, very dark blue, so that it looks black. Take a knife and scrape off a super-thin layer of plastic from a PS2 box if you want to see (make sure it's the original box, and not a Gamestop replacement.)

Some PAL boxes are darker too you know. There's 3 games in that picture with the darker variant. Admittedly, the majority of PAL PS2 cases are the lighter shade of blue...
