No one is going to be using this thing as their Arcade stick for other fighting games, for one thing it might contain good arcade stick components but they're coupled with probably a raspberry pi thing inside there which is going to need to be ripped outta the way really to allow you directly make use of this stick. And you're not going to see anyone pulling out something like this at EVO over any stick in that price range.

I'm not saying they would? You are not usually if ever going to have a double arcade stick used at Evo. 

All I'm saying is that it's an arcade stick. It belongs in that market. It's a novelty product (which are almost always RIP offs) and it's an arcade stick (which good ones are always argued to be RIP offs). That's all I'm saying. That's why it's not sensical to compare the price of it to classic consoles. Even if it has those retro games it belongs in the arcade stick market as a novelty  

I mean it does have a usb port on it which could be to directly connect and use it as a fight stick for other systems but that to me looks like it's gonna be off the same board as the rest of this which will include the pi or w/e that would almost certainly have it banned from any tournament play. The only thing I see this being used at by a tournament is as a joke over the comedy size of it.

It's happened a few times recently where a product has appeared and my mind thinks "who is that for?" As in, there's a point during r&d when a product has to be questioned about it's market. This one appears to be for serious fight stick enthusiasts because of the parts used in the sticks and the price... But really I find it hard to imagine them gravitating towards this as a fight stick because of those 16 ROMs dumped into this. I mean... I'm terms of game roster/value, this asking price is nearly 15e per game. Maybe there's something I'm missing but I just can't see this as being something that sells triple figures.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Ok but dude, that's what I'm saying. Its niche in a market that's already expensive. It isn't supposed to sell incredibly well and it probably won't. Because it ain't in the same genre as the Classic consoles [insert joke about PS Classic sales]. You're basically taking an already small market and making it smaller with a specific gimmick. That's all I'm saying.
