Aren't they better then most crap? Has there ever been a retail stick for any system as good as a homemade one? I just hate how my Hori for 360 has a ball top that spins, I dunno if thats normal but it makes me want to turn my whole self whenever I touch it.
Here's a list from SDTekken based on: Quality Parts Used How easy it is to modify Performance Features Customs do not qualify in this ranking. Please note that pricing is not taken into consideration in this list. Why? Quality is the more important issue here.

So, the Hori Fighting Stick 3 is actually slightly worse than the EX2? Aren't they supposed to be pretty much the same thing except 3 is on PS3?
There are quite a number of joysticks that aren't there including the official Sega DC joystick the Hori VF4 ones, etc, etc.
That Namco virtual arcade line up looks really good, i cant believe I sold my Wii and now they are bringing Numan Athletics out on it, one of my all time faves gahhhhhhhhhhhh.
B/c they're below the rank scale. Their RAP series are generally as good as an average homemade, but with a better case (IMHO). I have teh RAP EX-SE and I'll rank it higher than any of them. Note though, that I 1) don't give a fuck about further modding it 2) will take Seimitsu parts (buttons & sticks alike) over Sanwa any day. So, all those Tekken fans will never rank it as high as a Sanwa stick me thinks. I'm totally biased, I'll admit, but for 13,000 yen it was an excellent purchase. Really enjoying Death Smiles on the 360 w/ it.
WOW this game is awesome, never heard of it before! Just d/l it on my Wii, and I just love it . Also the music-style oldskool house I like.
Yo, small update. It seems that CyberSled is Virtual Arcade bound. http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1224188_1124.html Man next time I go to HK, i think i'm gonna have to pick up a jpn wii.
Namco have listed all the games that are Wii arcade bound already (click here) Most of the games are fairly unexciting as a number of them have already appeared on the Playstation a few years back... Still there is Finest Hour, Knuckle Heads, Burning Force, Marvel Land, Splatterhouse, Phelios, Hopping Mappy and Cosmo Gang The Video to look forward too... Do the games offer any extras apart from the game?
