Hori's official
Fighting Stick Wii product page is up, and with it are new pictures for us to stare at dreamily, imagining Hadoukens and Shoryukens pulled off with clicky aplomb. It's official: this thing is
delicious. Deliciously, the page confirms it to be functionally interchangeable with the Classic Controller, meaning that VC games and
Smash Bros. are a
go. Like the Classic Controller, this joystick requires the Wiimote to be connected. But most of us are used to being semi-tethered to our Wiimotes by now.
Unlike the now-boring Classic Controller, the Fighting Stick Wii has an individual turbo switch for each button, which enables super-
Takahashi Meijin button pressing at 20 times per second.

it looks big enough to cradle the wii remote (like the GH3 guitar) on the top side of it, lets hope that is the case. i bought the nyko clip for my classic controller because it was annoying that nintendo didnt release it with one.

Meh, I dunno about that. I never even bothered with the Classic controller, never saw a reason. I just stick with my GC controllers. No tethering, no "Dreamcast bottom-cord", AND it even works with GC games. Granted, the tiny DPad sucks, but so do the ultra-squishy Wii-era DPads.

Classic Controller FTW!!
I LOVE my classic controller. I might get this to try it for Brawl, but I'm going to be using my classic as my Main controller.
Classic Controller makes MarioKart64 even better imo

Drat this thing will not work with the Metal Slug collection disc because it is just a CC. Does anyone know of a GCN arcade stick where the stick can be set to pretend it is analog? Again stupid metal slug only works with the thumb stick with the wave bird and not the d-pad.
