Wii Fighting Stick (for those of you who care)

[Paik4Life]

August release. Personally, I think the Wii is absolute crap, but who knows, maybe it'll get some fighting games in the future for this. Obviously, it's just another slight modification to the HFS3/DOA4 Sticks.

Actually I have been thinking of modding the stick I made to have both a PS and Wii classic pcb in it that I could change with a switch. The only thing is that I dont want to be without a stick so I am going to wait a couple weeks until lizard lick gets the parts I want so I build another stick first.

Then when GGAC comes out for the wii, if they fix the bugs I will have a nice stick to play that on. If they dont fix them I will have something better play the VC games on.

not a bad price....sure the wii is slow now give it some time to learn from its mistakes.......i will get this when its released.....it will go smexy with GG: AC

[Toodles]

Looks like I need to see if I can get Wii support in the UPCB before this is released :)

[deadfrog]

Ahahaha, aw man it's sooo cute!

Just looking at it, I can feel every manly instinct in my body slipping away. It makes me wanna buy two and keep one baby blue and mod the other one with soft pink and blindfold my girlfriend and bring her into the living room with both plugged in and be like "Hay sweetie look at what I got for us!!"

:lame: Oh god this is ridiculous somebody please knock me out.

[nmbr1krush]

I like the colors. Will come in handy I guess when GGXXAC is released.

Man.. wth are you saying?.... The wii is really cool. I have one, and I enjoyed playing Zelda. I know there aren't any fighting games right now, but All the SNK games from NEO-GEO is going to appear as perfect ports in Wii's virtual console, Plus GG:AC, and smash (With a stick?? naah). The stick looks really cool I look forwards to it. Thanks

[kyored]

I can hook up my hrap to the wii and it works flawlessly , so there is no need 4 me 2 get this;. :yawn:

huh?????????

The Wii has gamecube controller ports too, I suspect he's probably using a PS2>GC convertor.

Anyway, on the previously noted thing about no fighting games on the Wii... yeah not until Accent Core unless you count Virtual Console games, but given the low cost to develop for the Wii I can't see why more 2d fighters won't come out on it.
I can't see anything like Tekken 6 or VF 5 etc... ever getting onto it, but it's a perfect platform for 2d games, enough power, cheap to develop for and widely spread.

I mean seriously... who needs the grunt of a ps3 to render 2d sprites?

[JubeiNinja69]

people forget about the ps2? the ps2 is still alive and kicking and is perfect for 2-d fighting games and more in the future. no need for me to get a wii. and i will have to buy a ps2 to gc convertor since people will have AC version for wii.

someone go buy my wii joystick on the trading outlet D:

The button arrangement on that thing is sickening.

Oh for sure, but Sony will eventually stop support for it, no doubt they'll keep it alive for a while like they did with the PSOne, probably longer as the PS3 isn't doing too well, but they'll most likely stop production on it well before they stop production for the Wii.

The button arrangement on that thing is sickening.
Yeah that's a bit of a worry :p the left 6 don't seem too horrific, but wtf were they thinking with the rest of it.

My personal use of the Wii is VERY limited. I have bought like 5 or 6 titles and they were all pretty crap. I'm selling mine. I will rebuy it when a mod chip is available for me to play Hajime no Ippo Fighting Revolution and maybe some Naruto and Bleach.

I'm sure the system will come into it own at some point, but right now it doesn't keep me entertained. There have been literally MONTHS when I haven't turned it on (I even checked my log file once).

~Paik

[DaveNotti]

Use for Smash? Hmm

[Mikei]

Am I the only one seeing the DOA4 case but with 8 buttons & turbo switches?


Looks like a tiny HRAP.

[Kayin]

I KNEW one would come out when AC was announced for the Wii, great news.

[Vic Viper]

The button arrangement on that thing is sickening.

I'm thinking the same thing. It looks like:

Y X L ZL
R A B ZR

I'd perfer:

L X R ZL
Y B A ZR

I mean, most Virtual Console games don't have button configuration.

[Paik4Life]

From the picture you can see the configuration:

Y X L ZL
B A R ZR

I'd love to man, but I need someone to buy my Hot Rod first. ;)

[Sazae]

I wonder what the internals are going to be. When I heard about GGAC for the Wii I wanted to find a converter to let my HRAP play on there. I hope it will be mod friendly, just like Mikei said it looks just like a small HRAP.

Well, do as you like, but I recommend you to keep it at least this year. Nintendo will show and sell their biggests franchises this 2007. MP3, smash, mario galaxy, and some decent third party titles. Plus VC neo-geo (I love garou).

[Biolink]

It looks nice.When I get my Wii I'll definetly grab me one.

[platinum_pinoy]

I mean, most Virtual Console games don't have button configuration.

But the important ones that pertain to the stick do: fighters. I know all SF games have button conifg and so does Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct. As long as fighters have button configs, the stick's button layout argument is moot.

And like someone else said, the config according to the picture is:

X Y L (ZL)
B A R (ZR)

Probably the only ones I have concern for are the upcoming NeoGeo games. But, as long as they keep the classic controller's layout in mind AND add button layout to their ROMS, i dont thinkt it should be a problem.

[Paik4Life]

You have X and Y reversed on your layout. It should be:

Y X L ZL

[platinum_pinoy]

~Paik

Oops. you're right. It is backwards, so, it supposed to be like this:

Y X L (ZL)
B A R (ZR)

[Master Chibi]

Is it wireless ;O?

~Paik


There are like a dozen modchips out -- WiiKey is what I'm planning on getting. RE4 is great btw even if you played it before. The Big Three will be nice this fall, those alone are worth having a Wii for.

Yeah, I'm really wondering if this will be wireless or use the GC port or what.

[Paik4Life]

None of the current mod chips have 100% compatibility, and I know for a fact that they don't work with Hajime no Ippo game. Also, I have heard Naruto does not work either on current mod chips.

[Toodles]

There aren't any controls for power, nor status LEDs to show which player you are, so I'm sure it'll be wired somehow. Since the buttons (LZ and RZ) match the classic controller and not a gamecube, Im betting it'll plug into a wiimote just like a classic controller.

I think what he meant is that is it non-wiimote wireless? IMO, for fighters, I'd rather have the stick directly plugged into the console as opposed to it being wireless. Wireless connections are not 100%. I notice sometimes with any of the current gen wireless pads that the signal drops for like a split second. You CANNOT have that in a fighting game.

[Taoku]

Is the Wii's hardware even powerful enough to support DR,VF5,or T6?

[DevilJin 01]

Yeah...that's a pretty unmanly looking joystick. Long as it works I guess. Definitely something you can't buy without investing in modding it. Just like most other Hori sticks.

[Blueknight78c]

Of course. Though Not in HD, and possibly not a pretty/smooth as the XB360/PS3 versions.

[DietSoap]

I can hook up my hrap to the wii and it works flawlessly , so there is no need 4 me 2 get this;. :yawn: What converter are you using? I ordered a single controller Innovation PS2>GCN, and it doesn't accept my HRAP or my SFA stick.

EDIT: And yeah, I think it's pretty hot. I'll get one most likely.

[HHarm]

PA sent my Wii Fighting Stick today.

[Sazae]

^get some pictures of the insides and your review once it comes in. I am really looking at getting one of these but I want to see how easily it can be modded and what all is in there stock. I'm going to assume the parts are the same as the PS3 Fighting Stick but I like the way this one looks a lot more and I'd like a stick for the Wii that isn't going through a converter.

[Vic Viper]

I take it its still "Made in China" parts. I guess I'll just wait till it hits the US, since its probably the same thing.

B-b-buuump!
