KoF Arcade Stick

[Dingo]

I've been looking around for an arcade stick (will be my first) and I have come across the KoF Nuby arcade stick for KoF 2000 and was wondering if it's a good investment. I know everyone here will probably suggest a Hori stick, but I don't have that kind of money; even the Street Fighter Anniversary sticks seem to be going for a fair amount. Anyway, if you have any suggestions or comments on the stick, please let me know; no one I know has this stick and I want some feedback before I decide on buying.

Better off saving and getting an actual stick. That thing is terrible.

I've been looking around and the majority said it wasn't that great; plus it's a collector's item and I would feel bad playing a lot with it. Anyway, I decided to go with the Hori Fighting Stick 2. It seems to have a lot of good reviews and looks like it would sit in your lap more comfortably.

A user from another forum tells me that the fighting stick isn't very good.He says that it is made more for 3-d fighting games.

In the long run you are better off just saving your money(Even if it takes a long time to get the money) Hori Real Arcade Pro or a MAS.

If you are lucky,you can go to Gamestop and get the Tekken 5 bundle for about $20.00.The prices dropped for the bundle package around August of last year,but alot of people didn't know about it the price drop.It comes with an Hori stick that can be upgraded with parts and other stuff.So I would also look around Gamestop's for that bundle package.

Everything that is cheap isn't good(unfortunately)so don't go looking around for the cheapest option available.Wait around,and see what's up before you make a commitment to anything so that you are happy in the end.

It's a terrible stick all together. I mean come on, no microswitches, its got rubber stoppers that make direct contact with the pcb. The gate is trashy and feels muddy as hell. I ended up putting a sanwa jlf and buttons, but it wasn't easy work. Since then I gave the stick away.
