User Reviews about Wii Arcade Stick

I bought this only to play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars (and hopefully other future good 2D fighting games). The Wii Remote can only support simple Controls (simple button to input special moves), which I didn't like. I then bought the Classic Controller but it was too small and I didn't like the look and feel of it. So given that the official stick is $80, I decided to give this joystick a try.

I was very happy with the purchase. First I didn't realize this plugs directly into the Wii remote which means I can play wirelessly instead of siting close to the Wii constrained but the wire as in the case of GameCube controller--this alone just worth the purchase. Second the stick is larger/heavier than I anticipated (maybe because it was so inexpensive), the buttons are decent size and the joystick seems to operate effectively. I don't know if this is durable but so far I am very happy with this purchase. Note that I also have a PS3 Street Fighter official stick and obviously this cannot compare with it, but for the price and for my purpose (of playing 1 game), this $25 joystick is worth the purchase. -- Better than expected

Intec's Wii Arcade Stick is probably the best value you can find for Wii arcade controllers. This controller is large, offers a full 8 buttons, rapid fire option, non-sticking joystick, and a comfortable hand rest for the gamer's right hand under the buttons.

It's not perfect. There are a few minor gripes I have with it. The joystick is a little looser than I prefer, though in time I'll adjust to it. I would have also liked it to be a little bigger to accomodate my left hand a little bit more. My palm tends to rest on the bottom left corner and that can hurt if I'm not careful. And the joystick is kind of noisy. Very loud clicking when you play. Again, these are pretty minor complaints in the grand scheme of things and ultimately it still does exactly what it is supposed to.

Compared to its competitors it offers virtually all of the features and design functionality that higher priced arcade joysticks for $39.99. There are also some cheaper models, at the $30 range, but you'll likely give up some of the buttons or wind up with an unresponsive joystick. -- Best Value For Wii Arcade Controllers
