Wii to get new stick from Hori

There’s no doubt that the Nintendo Wii’s Wiimote and Nunchuk are innovative, responsive and delightful control gear, but sometimes people tend to crave for stuff they haven’t used for a while. Japanese accessory maker Hori has an answer to that need.

Hori recognizes that some people may prefer the more traditional arcade-ish control setup with buttons and a stick over motion-sensing and hand-waving when playing fighting games so they came up with this design for the Japanese Wii.

The Wii fighting stick will ship in August and will cost about US$ 52.90. The image you see carries the Japanese design, so don’t be surprised if you see a slightly different look on it when it hits American shores.
