In other news the fighstick also got rated a 9.0

There is a $50 HORI stick for the Wii?I have a $50 HORI 360 stick and it's not bad (sure it's not authentic arcade quality like Sanwa but it's pretty good and has had good reviews. Great for those of us who don't want to spend $170 for a TE stick).

It sucks that the HORI sticks can't be used across platforms. I don't like the idea of owning a seperate arcade stick for each console. :( I have a lot of space already taken up by game accessories I already own. And if I get a Wii, I'll definitely be playing Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and I can't imagine going back to playing fighters on a gamepad anymore (even though I suck at fighting games no matter what I use, I find arcade sticks easier to use).

I'm just waiting for the game in the mail, but yeah, the VGC review is probably the only one I'll read.

Apparently there are custom stick makers who will make high-quality multi-plat sticks for you. I might look into that eventually. I'd be willing to pay the high prices for the high-quality sticks if they were multi-plat (I include the PS2 and PC in that too).

Whoa, I may end up getting this game....

*Looks at Tatsunoko in wiki*

The ign Nintendo team as a whole I don't really have anything against. Bozon and Craig are ok, they're a little overly critical and graphic whores at times, but what mainstream gaming journalist isn't nowadays? Cassimassina is way too graphics and horsepower oriented for my liking, and his latest rants against the Wii just make no sense and leave me saying wtf?

What I hate mostly is why they even allow Nintendo articles from that ass Daemon.

Nice I guess. Can't wait for the game

Expect an overall Metaranking of mid-low 80's guys. A few high ranking reviews yes, but if we all look closely we can see the dissapointed/low scores from miles away. The game will be slamed by other reviewers for being simple, possibly unbalanced and because no one knows who Tatsunoko are.

I have this game on pre-order, can't wait for it to get to me, but until i learn to make Arcade Sticks on my own i'll be sticking with my GC controller or pssibly the CCPro since it seems to be next best alternative. I plan on taking the game fairly seriously, i just hope its not like Marvel vs Capcom 2, the extreme amount of stories i've heard about balance issues gave me such a stomache ache and i refused to play the game.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 was one of the greatest games ever! IronMan/War Machine and Cable might've been some overpowered characters, but great players can beat anyone in there. One of my favorites!

Nintendo Power gave Tatsunoko vs. Capcom a 9 also. They said a lot of similar things about the gameplay and graphics.
