As much as we'd love to import one of these gorgeous arcade sticks -- modeled after the original Neo Geo AES arcade stick -- $59.90, not including steep shipping fees for the 4+ lb. controller, is just too rich for our blood, especially since it's only compatible with a limited selection of Wii games. For Virtual Console games, however, this would be the business.
For now, we'll just have to live through David Spreckley who bought one of these sticks from an Akihabara shop and posted photos of the unboxed product online to torment jealous gamers. Down, Down Forward, Forward + Punch past the post break for another glamour shot of the Neo Geo Stick 2.

All Wii controllers should be wireless.

Isn't the whole point of the NeoGeo to be overpriced?

I'm still looking for a arcade stick controller that will work with my Gamecube games. I have a lot of the arcade classics and I'd like to find something to use with them.

Thanks! I'd love to get one like this. I read online that some non-Nintendo controllers for the Gamecube won't work on the Wii. So I'm not sure what I should do. Has anyone else heard of this?

But Eddie didn't stay in America! He came to Queens, found a bride and went back home and married her!
We need the Neo Geo controller to defect to America... like Robin Williams in Moscow on the Hudson!

I would want this if I can connect it to the PC somehow, and play the other fighting games in MAME.
Specifically, Street Fighter 3.
