Looking for Neo Geo Stick 2 Wii review

Post by shallowgamer »

All,

I've scoured the net looking for an actual hands-on review for this stick. I know it was meant for the Virtual Console, but has anyone taken it for a spin with Castle Shikigami 3? Is it even compatible?

Thanks in advance.

Not a review but, I actually don't like the stick that much. Feels too loose.

So you'd lean more toward the Hori stick?

Anyway, no need to import shikigami, it's here in the states now. I actually picked it up at my local...umm...gamestop (there, I said it) for 20 bucks sealed. With this, along with the ultimate shooting collection coming in November, I'm doing what I never thought I would do..get an arcade stick for the Wii. Who knew that it would be the shmup darling for this generation of consoles? I had picked up a PS3 due to the fact that games were region free, and they were BOUND to release shooters in japan... :)

really?

I actually thought mine felt 'thicker' (i.e. it had more resistance when moving it from centre to one of the directions) than my HRAP, EX2 and even than my DC stick - the only problem I had with it was getting used to the ocatagonal gate.

I like the NeoGeo stick enough that I havent bothered connecting my PS2 HRAP back up to the Wii since I got it (I use a PS2 - GC adapter)

Yeah. I've always liked Hori products and they make solid controllers and joysticks. I've yet to try the Wii version but that's on my to do list this weekend~ I might get it as you can kill switch buttons you're not using (at least that's what it looks like).
