If you have one, what games are you using the Hori on?

Mine is collecting dust unfortunately.

Really? Is that because there are no games that are used well with it? Or because it's not a good device? Or???

Its an awesome device.

Buy mine.

Mine is collecting dust (the box it came in, not the actual joy). Not because there isn't any good software on the wii (playing soldier blade with the joy is so awesome) but because I have 5 candy cabs right next to it, and I'm happy playing those.

I love it. Much better than the classic controller, imo. I use it for Shiki 3 and the downloadables.

Is shiki 3 in the US or are you importing wii?

I'd buy one just to have a cheap 8-button stick for modding, but I don't know any local stores that stock it :(

Head on down to your local Gamestop store and inquire about if they have the USA region Wii game of "Castle of Shikigami III"...it retails for a mere $29.99 USD. Not a bad price IMO. Aksys Games is the American distributor of it btw. ^_~

You can use the optional Hori GC Fighting Stick arcade stick controller with this CoS-III game as well if you don't have access to a Hori Wii Fighting Stick controller setup.

I've been tempted to buy this Hori stick, but I'm also curious how it compares to the Neo Geo stick out for Wii also. Is one more precise or more well-built than the other? Anyone own or have access to the Neo Geo stick?

I got the stick. And I got a new copy of Castle III for $19.99. Lovin' it. Thanks for all your input!

So, any VC or WiiWare game that takes the Classic will also work with the Wii Hori Stick?

I'm mainly curious as to if I can use it with Star Soldier R.

Pretty much. But you'll want to make sure first. For instance, I thought I could use it on Sin & Punishment but I can't because, I guess, the joystick on the Hori correlates to the D-Pad but not the D-Stick on the classic controller. Does that make sense?

And I'm 99% sure that you can use it on Star Soldier R. I'll test it tonight (pacific time zone).

Star Soldier R works with it.

Nice. Thanks. I'll pick one up Thursday at my local indie game store then! I'm lucky that they import them to the UK at a very low price...
