Gamecube Hori controller

[CRIMExTHINK]

Hi! Does anyone know where I can buy these controllers? They are all sold out on play-asia.com and they don't seem like they'll restock anytime soon. I've checked eBay and craigslist but to no avail. I bought Ikaruga a few weeks ago and the d-pad on the official GC controllers is just too damn small. Thanks in advance!

If you have a PS2 pad, you may be better off getting a Cube Joybox or similar adaptor. Even better if you already have a PS2-compatible joystick.

I had one of the Hori GameCube pads for a while and to be honest I wasn't all that impressed with it. The D-pad hurts my thumb and the face button layout still sucks.

I didn't really mean to derail since I don't know where to buy them now, but just wanted to throw my opinion in that they're not all they're cracked up to be.

I got mine from eStarland, but I'm not sure they still have any. I really like it, but I only use it for Ikaruga and Mega Man.

Wasn't there an arcade stick for the GC? If so, was it any good?

Yes, Hori produced two different colored schemed "Fighting Stick Gamecube" joysticks: 1st one was the limited edition Soul Calibur II GCN joystick & the 2nd, purple colored version. It was designed primarily for those Gamecube games that used "digital input" as the basis to play the game. ^_~
