For those of us who enjoy playing fighting games in the way we used to play them in the arcades then good quality sticks are a must have. Up until now though, the Nintendo Wii has been without a stick good enough to take a beating and not fall apart.

With the western release of Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, MadCatz took the opportunity to offer a cracking little arcade stick for the Wii.

The Tatsunoko Vs Capcom arcade stick may look like the budget Street Fighter IV sticks released in 2009 but it is quite a different beast. Apart from the shape of the casing, this new stick is completely different.

The buttons and stick are MadCatz versions of the fighters favourite, Sanwa Denshi, buttons and sticks. Most people will feel little or no difference between the stock buttons and stick of this unit and the actual Sanwa buttons and stick found in arcades or in the Tournament Edition SFIV sticks that came out in 2009.

Buttons are responsive and their action is perfect for me. The stick is a little stiffer than the actual Sanwa JLF sticks, but that is fine by me as I prefer the stick to be a little tougher to use.

The unit itself functions like any other Wii remote add-on. It plugs into the remote and uses its bluetooth connection to the Wii to transmit all buttons presses with no noticeable lag.

The price is a little on the steep side for some, but bearing in mind the extra quality you are getting with this stick, the price is more or less justifiable. If this is your first arcade stick then you are in for a treat. Don’t be tempted to get something similar but cheaper – it will not feel or play the same.

Overall – this stick gets a solid 9/10 from me. The only room for improvement would be to include Sanwa components, but the difference they would make would be negligible.

Got this for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, it’s a great big chunky joystick. Can use it on PC with an adapter, and Streetfighter 4 is brill with it. I only gave it 4 stars as it didn’t come with a cable to hook it up to the gamecube joypad sockets, so I could play Soul Calibur 2 with it.
