Hori is fishing for interest in the ultimate accessory for Treasure fans. This proposed Radiant Silvergun arcade stick aims to replicate the arcade on Japanese 360’s when the game hits XBLA, assuming Hori gets enough pre-order interest to put it into production between now and January 4th. Keep in mind it will set you back 13,500 Yen, which I’m led to believe currently works out to just over $160 USD.
I suppose one could justify the purchase based on that being what a Saturn copy of the game could cost at times, but loving Treasure can often be an expensive affair any way you slice it. On the doubleplus good side of life, we get Radiant Silvergun next year too, I remain ridiculously happy about that.
If you’re tempted, you can pay Hori a visit for more info.
Need to get a PS3 Fighting Stick since I plan to get SSF IV, own MvC2 and might get another fighter as well in 2011. Any good AND cheap ideas?

Hrm, I often see them turn up at pawn shops or second hand places, but then you’ve no idea how hard its been played and whether it’s all played out. If I hear of anyone parting with one or see anything new pop up reasonable I’ll let you know though.

I’m a D-pad man all the way baby! That looks sexy though. Seems odd that it would cost that much… seeing it’s just a sticker on top of an already existing and in production arcade stick? I’ve already got the Tekken 6 Xbox 360 wireless arcade stick though (only reason I bought Tekken 6 LE was for the arcade stick… and because it was only $40) so I wouldn’t buy another one…
