A Question about the Hori Fighting Stick

    Well, I've recently been challenged to a Guilty Gear tournament. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core for the Wii. This, along with Star Soldier R, pretty much requires me to get an arcade stick. Be attitude for gains, I must win. Etc etc. I've been avoiding it for so long, because they're pretty damn expensive. But I have to bite the bullet.

    A few quick questions:

    1> Is the Hori Fighting Stick for the Wii wireless, or does it connect via GC port?

    2> Is the Hori Fighting Stick compatible with Virtual Console games?

    3> Is the Hori Fighting Stick compatible with WiiWare games?

    4> Is there any way I can use some type of converter to use my Wii stick with my 360?

    5> Is you is, or is you ain't, my baby?

    TIA.

    >4 I've not come across anything like that. Heck, I've not seen anything that will let you use a Virtua Stick HG on the 360, so I imagine Wii -> 360 peripheral compatibility isn't very high on anyones agenda *shrug*

    >5 Hell no.

    Why would someone ever want a ARCADE stick for a Wii? Isn't the Wii about the TV remoter controller thing and stuff?

    Amazon.jp reviews confirm:

    1: Wireless, i.e. you plug it into the Wiimote. No worries about delay.
    2: Yes, but you're f*cked when you can't change the button mapping in-game.
    3: Don't know, but why shouldn't it? The Wii probably recognizes it as a Classic Controller anyway.

    1> Answered Above

    2> The same as above

    3> I suppose that it'll work

    4> No, the only converter for the X360 is the XFPS, it's only for PSX/PS2 controllers, and it lag when you use it with a stick like Hori Real Arcade Pro.

    5> :shrug:

    I own a Hori Fighting Stick EX II for the X360, and the stick and buttons feel "cheap" compared with a HRAP, and I think that Wii fighting stick uses the same components; if you want a good comercial stick, mod a HRAP, it isn't very hard, but it'll be more expensive.
