The Capcom fighting title Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is almost perfect on the Wii as is, if you ask me. The only thing missing is a good controller.
Mad Catz brought along the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Arcade FightStick along to CES to show off, and Alex Verrery gave us a quick rundown of the new controller's features. The chassis is based off of existing Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 sticks, but they have redesigned the joystick and buttons for this new release. The unit connects directly to your Wii Remote, so you can consider this a wireless unit. There's also dual turbos, a locking switch and a non-slip matte finish for the art. All in all, a very nice package.
The TvC Arcade FightStick will be released around the same time that the game is, which is sometime later this month.
Virtual Console, GGXX Accent Core Plus, and the various other fighters that have traditionally made me question Wii releases would benefit from this stick incredibly. I want one, even though I currently don't have a Wii (though I plan to get one soon).
Dale, serious question. If you or any Dtoider get to talk to the madcatz guys again, can you ask about the possibility of a fightpad? I can't afford/like to use sticks, and I LOVED the SFIV pad.
Wow. That actually look pretty great up close. Still deciding whether I want one of these or the Hori stick... The MadCatz one is starting to look pretty good...
If this is based on the standard stick, then these are Mad Catz buttons with a Sanwa joystick, IIRC.
It's a shame they're not making a TE stick for Wii, they're so nice. A wireless connection via the Wiimote means that there's likely going to be enough lag that the tournament scene probably won't buy and mod these up with better parts like they did with the 360/PS3 SE sticks.
pretty sure those are madcatz buttons. Seeing allll SE model sticks are madcatz parts whereas the TE sticks are straight up Sanwa and much more easily customized.
basically it's the SF4 SE stick but with TvC art and for the Wii.
Sweet. This year is already looking better for my poor lonely Wii with this and NMH2.
I already have a triple modded SE stick but I might have to bring myself to get this one.
