Mad Catz Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Arcade FightStick (Wii)

This is easily the best Arcade Stick available for the Wii (U) - everything is right here, the stick feels so sensitive and responsive due to the tight micro-switch assembly, buttons are arcade quality leaf springs and they respond instantly first time every time.The artwork looks awesome (although it can start to rub off after a while so be careful with those greasy fingers!) and it really adds to the arcade experience, I love this stick... the only problem is I now refuse to use my other (cheapo) arcade sticks as they feel sluggish!Once you've tried this you wont ever want to go back to using a loose joystick assembly, I will probably end up buying another one ^_^

I grabbed one of these along with a an adapter to use with my PS3.For the price you will not find another stick anywhere near this quality.WARNING for those wanting to use this on PS3- the adapter I managed to get (cheapy import from china) doesn't support all 8 face buttons on the PS3, or the HOME button. The buttons it does support are the left four and the right two, so on a Street Fighter setup your heavy punch and heavy kick buttons don't actually function. This is less of an issue than you'd think though as the buttons are connected via quick disconnects and all the buttons can be switched around in very little time with very little effort.The quality of the parts in this stick are very good, maybe not quite on par with sanwa parts (although the parts are almost identical) but very good indeed.THE STICK - the stick itself is very similar to a sanwa JLF (the stick used in all the top, very expensive arcade sticks), it has a slightly stiffer feel to it than the sanwa JLF which can probably be rectified by replacing the spring with a sanwa spring as this is the major difference between the two. Additionally the washer inside the stick doesn't stay in place as well compared to the JLF giving an odd feel when it slides slightly off centre. The stick performs as well as the sanwa JLF though once used to the slightly stiffer feel to it, deadzones and throw ranges etc all seem identical.THE BUTTONS - as with the stick these are very similar to sanwa buttons found in the top end arcade sticks and again the individual parts used are essentially identical other than the spring. In action the buttons feel great, though I would recommend switching them out at some point with sanwa buttons, a set of six will set you back around £10-£15 and will put this stick on par with the highest quality sticks available.MODDING - the insides of this stick are a modders dream, there's loads of room inside, the parts are easily replacable by sanwa or seimitsu parts, the buttons are all connected using quick disconnects and the stick can easily be swapped out for a sanwa JLF. I have also replaced the artwork on mine with laminated graphics stuck on with double sided sticky tape (rather than ripping off the existing artwork) to make it more my own.I honestly can't recommend this stick enough, it puts the likes of the Hori sticks to shame in build quality, design and quality of stock parts.

For those of us who enjoy playing fighting games in the way we used to play them in the arcades then good quality sticks are a must have. Up until now though, the Nintendo Wii has been without a stick good enough to take a beating and not fall apart.With the western release of Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, MadCatz took the opportunity to offer a cracking little arcade stick for the Wii.The Tatsunoko Vs Capcom arcade stick may look like the budget Street Fighter IV sticks released in 2009 but it is quite a different beast. Apart from the shape of the casing, this new stick is completely different.The buttons and stick are MadCatz versions of the fighters favourite, Sanwa Denshi, buttons and sticks. Most people will feel little or no difference between the stock buttons and stick of this unit and the actual Sanwa buttons and stick found in arcades or in the Tournament Edition SFIV sticks that came out in 2009.Buttons are responsive and their action is perfect for me. The stick is a little stiffer than the actual Sanwa JLF sticks, but that is fine by me as I prefer the stick to be a little tougher to use.The unit itself functions like any other Wii remote add-on. It plugs into the remote and uses its bluetooth connection to the Wii to transmit all buttons presses with no noticeable lag.The price is a little on the steep side for some, but bearing in mind the extra quality you are getting with this stick, the price is more or less justifiable. If this is your first arcade stick then you are in for a treat. Don't be tempted to get something similar but cheaper - it will not feel or play the same.Overall - this stick gets a solid 9/10 from me. The only room for improvement would be to include Sanwa components, but the difference they would make would be negligible.

Received this joystick last week. I've been wanting a retro style joystick for my Wii for a while now. While it is obviously designed for beat-em-ups, it's also great to play Virtual Console games on. I found it works well for Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing, which I was pleasantly surprised by. It is sturdily built, with a nice weight to it. The autofire feature works well for old school shooters.

Got this for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, it's a great big chunky joystick. Can use it on PC with an adapter, and Streetfighter 4 is brill with it. I only gave it 4 stars as it didn't come with a cable to hook it up to the gamecube joypad sockets, so I could play Soul Calibur 2 with it.

Goes well with the game and makes it fun to play. This is the closest that I have seen the Wii feel like an arcade.

Es una belleza, de buena calidad y llego bien cuidada

Es más grande y pesado de lo que esperaba, pero no es algo negativo, al contrario. Al ser un aracde stick de Wii lo esperaba de plástico y poco pesado, como un juguete. Pero no, se nota que es de MadCatz y que para ser de gama económica es suficientemente bueno, al menos para mi.

Having a PS3, HTPC and Wii, I wanted to find a good arcade stick that would work for all of these systems as I just can't justify buying one for each. I've been using it for the last couple weeks with a Mayflash classic controller/USB adapter (as others here have recommended) to use with the PC and PS3 and I've been really impressed by the results.The build quality of the stick and responsiveness of the buttons (almost a little too sensitive) is definitely better than I expected after reading reviews of higher-end Hori sticks with Sanwa parts. I'm coming from the gray/yellow buttoned Namco branded Hori sticks from the late 90s, which were pretty decent for the price at the time, but this really blows it away. Before buying, I was thinking about changing out the gate/stick and buttons based on reviews where people talk about this, but unless I start having reliability issues, I'm really happy with the performance and doubt I ever will. It's very easy to repeatedly pull off quarter circle and angle moves, even with the square gate, so I'd definitely recommended buying it and trying it before immediately springing for alternate parts. Note that I'm not a hardcore, competitive player; I just like to have a reliable, authentic arcade experience to play casually with friends, and this stick definitely delivers.As far as compatibility goes, as I mentioned, I'm using with the aforementioned Mayflash adapter to use on my PS3 (older 80GB unit with BC) and PC. As others have said, you'll need to input the Home+L or R command to activate the third column of buttons on PS3, but I definitely have access to ALL buttons in games like SFIV and Mortal Kombat. It also works great with the PC for emulators and otherwise with no special drivers needed (I'm using Win7 64-bit), it's plug and play. As expected, the stick also works great on the Wii, and playing Virtual Console games is now even more fun. The only snag I've run into is that I cannot use the stick to play PS2 games on the PS3, which is disappointing for all the classic game compilations available on PS2. Essentially because there's no PS button, one cannot activate the stick for use once a game loads. Some have said online that the Wii Home button should also work as a PS button, but this doesn't work for me. Unless there's some trick I'm missing, I cannot get the stick to register for PS2 games on my backwards compatible PS3. I didn't buy it for this purpose nor expect it to work in this fashion, but it would be a nice bonus, so let me know if you have any tips!Lastly, the turbo function is nice as well. I didn't expect to care about or use it, but for playing games like Metal Slug and other arcade shooters, it's actually pretty useful and works well.Finally, because this stick is so affordable, and especially since I'm not planning to mod it, I'll probably pick up a second one now that I've had a chance to try it out. Considering I was looking at a single Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 for $130 (that wouldn't work with the Wii at all), I'm feeling pretty good about likely getting essentially two sticks with better compatibility for less money overall. This is pretty much a steal for under $50, especially if it holds up over time.

Super arcade stick, hohe verarbeitung und gutes handling. Funktioniert auch einwandfrei mit dem Wii to USB Adapter, wodurch es auch eine günstige alternative zu all den teuren PS3 Arcade sticks ist. Bin selber noch Anfänger was Arcade sticks angeht und dachte ich gebe es damit einen versuch, für den Preis gibt es eindeutig nichts zu bemängeln. Daumen hoch!
