Hori Fighting Stick replaces the Classic Controller in our hearts


Hori's official Fighting Stick Wii product page is up, and with it are new pictures for us to stare at dreamily, imagining Hadoukens and Shoryukens pulled off with clicky aplomb. It's official: this thing is delicious. Deliciously, the page confirms it to be functionally interchangeable with the Classic Controller, meaning that VC games and Smash Bros. are a go.

Like the Classic Controller, this joystick requires the Wiimote to be connected. But most of us are used to being semi-tethered to our Wiimotes by now. Unlike the now-boring Classic Controller, the Fighting Stick Wii has an individual turbo switch for each button, which enables super-Takahashi Meijin button pressing at 20 times per second.
