yeah, I just recently scored the agetec official arcade stick for DC-- should arrive in a week or so. Kind of pricey, almost $60 with shipping. Here's hoping it's worth it!

sorry mods just realised this is more appropriate for the hardware board so please if you wish could you move it to there. don't want to cause everyone annoyance.

but still yay

Namco Arcade Stick doesn't have the absolute best parts, but yeah I love mine (have a pair).

i just love the way that they are real sensitive and fast. aside from the shmup use, i'm also a 2d fighter fan, and the namco stick is the only one on which i can combo hadoken's into supers consistently, as well as accurate parrying on sf3:3rd strike

Plus, you can use them on both the PS2 and PS1; unlike the original PS1 controller.

I had one bought at full price for years, which I sold for way too little.

I then found one a couple of years ago for £9. Totally new, although the box had significant shelf-wear from the 8+ years it had been in the store

By far my favorite stick. The buttons and the stick itself are much better than on my DC stick (where's that guide to making the DC stick work properly, without getting stuck at the extremes?). As long as all the painting doesn't come off I'm more than happy with the performance of my Namco stick, especially because it also works fantastically on my "arcade box" with a cheapo converter.

I could have got an Arctec(sp) DC stick for £10 last year, but I forgot all about it

I forgot about a convertor, the Namco shall be used often then

I'm not sure if it comes with the box or instuctions like yours, but I'm glad I snapped one up so soon and rather cheap

well i'll sell you the box and instructions for the price difference lol

Heh I dont need the box and instructions although........... the box would make a lovely pirate ship and instructions could be a map to some buried treasure argh!

I do indeed play Fighters although I haven't play much lately, I used to play SFA3,SF3:3rdS on my Dreamcast,

Sometime I hope to pick up the ST2 Comp for the PS2 inthe future
and some KOF's.

SNK needs to release a Fatal Fury Comp, I love FF3
