You should have seen the line for the relatively small Tatsunoko vs Capcom booth at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. It was stupid long, and they even had close it down at some points to relieve traffic in the area.
When you did get to the front of the line, you were able to play with either the Wii Remote or the Classic Controller. Both worked in their own way, but neither looked as nice as this new Tatsunoko vs Capcom arcade stick. Siliconera says that this is scheduled to come out the same day as the game in Japan, and will cost 5,980 yen ($65).
What’s really cool is that they included six face buttons as well as the L and R ones. Sure, Tatsunoko vs Capcom doesn’t require that many buttons, but you’ll get the most out of your 6,000 yen when you can use this fine stick with your other fighting titles. Apparently this stick is made by Exar, the same guys who made the Neo Geo 2 Wii stick.
