Fun:
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.

Fun:
I grabbed one of these along with a an adapter to use with my PS3.
For the price you will not find another stick anywhere near this quality.
WARNING for those wanting to use this on PS3- the adapter I managed to get (cheapy import from china) doesn't support all 8 face buttons on the PS3, or the HOME button. The buttons it does support are the left four and the right two, so on a Street Fighter setup your heavy punch and heavy kick buttons don't actually function. This is less of an issue than you'd think though as the buttons are connected via quick disconnects and all the buttons can be switched around in very little time with very little effort.
The quality of the parts in this stick are very good, maybe not quite on par with sanwa parts (although the parts are almost identical) but very good indeed.
THE STICK - the stick itself is very similar to a sanwa JLF (the stick used in all the top, very expensive arcade sticks), it has a slightly stiffer feel to it than the sanwa JLF which can probably be rectified by replacing the spring with a sanwa spring as this is the major difference between the two. Additionally the washer inside the stick doesn't stay in place as well compared to the JLF giving an odd feel when it slides slightly off centre. The stick performs as well as the sanwa JLF though once used to the slightly stiffer feel to it, deadzones and throw ranges etc all seem identical.
THE BUTTONS - as with the stick these are very similar to sanwa buttons found in the top end arcade sticks and again the individual parts used are essentially identical other than the spring. In action the buttons feel great, though I would recommend switching them out at some point with sanwa buttons, a set of six will set you back around £10-£15 and will put this stick on par with the highest quality sticks available.
MODDING - the insides of this stick are a modders dream, there's loads of room inside, the parts are easily replacable by sanwa or seimitsu parts, the buttons are all connected using quick disconnects and the stick can easily be swapped out for a sanwa JLF. I have also replaced the artwork on mine with laminated graphics stuck on with double sided sticky tape (rather than ripping off the existing artwork) to make it more my own.
I honestly can't recommend this stick enough, it puts the likes of the Hori sticks to shame in build quality, design and quality of stock parts.
