- sdcarter, on 11/12/2007, -0/+14wait... lemmie get this straight... The Shaft?! The Wii Shaft?!
I'm sorry all I can think of now are Scottish erectile dysfunction jokes. - thenuttman, on 11/12/2007, -1/+13Fitting that the first product you make is called a shaft. Next up, the PS3 dildo. ;-)
- ers35, on 11/12/2007, -1/+13lol @ "wii shaft"
- rwallen, on 11/12/2007, -2/+14I found this for it on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Mg_HMlAbE - eoverline, on 11/12/2007, -2/+11so you must be a wii owner?
- Ashkc88, on 11/12/2007, -0/+9You can already download two versions of Street Fighter 2 on the virtual console.
- rush378, on 11/13/2007, -3/+12Wii...shaft... Must contain...immature...laughter...
- dinostabOMG, on 11/12/2007, -1/+9I think the PS2 dildo came with Rez in Japan...
http://www.gamegirladvance.com/archives/2002/10/26 ... (nsfw?) - mecole21, on 11/12/2007, -0/+8Not sure... There are very few nintendo games actually designed to use a joystick... The classic controller is still the best for Virtual Console games...
What someone needs to do is make a classic controller that looks like an N64 controller so that N64 games are easier to play... - libertao, on 11/11/2007, -0/+8Was that the intro to a porno or an advertisement for a video game accessory?
- Buelldozer, on 11/12/2007, -2/+9This would rock for Streetfighter!
- blackhydra, on 11/11/2007, -0/+5Holy *****, you're an idiot.
- turleh, on 11/11/2007, -1/+6I'd shaft those two.
- doshindude, on 11/12/2007, -0/+4looks more like a genesis controller.
- InnerBlueAbyss, on 11/11/2007, -1/+5Hori's product will definitely trump this ugly piece of *****.
- Peter89, on 11/12/2007, -0/+3I bet it feels like ***** though compared to some custom Wii arcade sticks with real Sanwa / Happ parts.
- inactive, on 11/12/2007, -1/+4let me guess
sony ps3 owner? - seneca, on 11/11/2007, -0/+3They really should remove that video if they want to be taken seriously
- briansorders, on 11/12/2007, -1/+4yea, looks like a butt plug
- dyreschlock, on 11/11/2007, -0/+3i was thinking the same things. isn't the blue meanie/monster already out in stores?
- hurricaneintake, on 11/11/2007, -2/+5yum
- ArcadeJunkies, on 07/30/2008, -1/+4The X-Arcade line has worked on the Wii since launch. http://www.x-arcade.com
- josho, on 11/12/2007, -1/+4incredibly overpriced. the hori joystick is a very solid and large product with more buttons and is more durable and costs about 5$ more.
this thing is tiny and from a company with little to no reputability. shrug. - higdonius, on 11/12/2007, -1/+4the 3rd picture didn't load, so all i saw there was...wait for it..."black shaft". LOLZ
- Dabisu, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2It seems cool, but the normal price is $79.95. It's much cheaper if you preorder it, but it could turn out to be *****. I usually like to wait for a review first. So my excitement went down the drain, either risk $40 on a crap product, or spend $80 on a good reviewed one. I don't like this company's sale tactics. I mean thats probably why they're doing it, because they know The Shaft sucks.
I guess we won't know until it comes out. - nicko68, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2Yes, I remember "blast processing". And "lock on" technology.
- DaleoftheUK, on 11/12/2007, -1/+3White, pink or black "shaft"? Your choice. (damn that's a bad name)
- ChuckIT, on 11/12/2007, -2/+4pwned
- aphorizm, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2Been buying Hori sticks for years. They're absolutely wonderful. My friends have sticks modded with the standard arcade issue Seimitsu and Sanwa controls and the difference is pretty imperceptable unless you're very up with that sort of thing.
- teddyrux, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2I was kind of disappointed they didn't make out at the end. It was over-the-top enough to warrant it.
- Gotar, on 11/12/2007, -1/+3It's not wireless? No thanks.
- Namesbond, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1retrousb.com
- crossmr, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1Have you ever seen a butt plug? I don't remotely see the resemblance
http://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&q=butt+plug&b ... - doshindude, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1Nintendo is what Genesisn't!
(that was a real nintendo ad in response to sega) - aznchristmas, on 11/23/2007, -0/+12 player street fighter
- aywwts4, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1Lock on technology kicks ass.
In hindsight it was just a way to sell us one game in two parts... But when I plugged my sonic games into my knuckles cart, it was something along the lines of a high and mysterious magic. - ArcadeJunkies, on 07/30/2008, -1/+2The X-Arcade line has worked on the Wii since launch. http://www.x-arcade.com
- KingGorilla, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1any other sexual innuendo after this is now made invalid
- RefinedZombie, on 11/12/2007, -1/+2I saw this guy make a post on SomethingAwful. It's a pretty sweet controller even if it is wired.
- Matt2k, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1You were asking about the controller, not the game. And you were given an example of many games that made interesting uses of the controller.
You mentioned looking for things other than party games, but Warioware really is a good demonstration of the possibilities..
To top it off, those are even pretty good games. I really enjoyed RE4 for the Wii. I can't imagine playing it on any other console, simply because of the controller. - aywwts4, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1You do realize, some of us may have actually grown up with the genesis, and remember that commercial firsthand, or even teased our playground friends parroting that exact line....
- aznchristmas, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1too bad the x-arcade PCB is unable to recognize 3 inputs at the same time
- xtc46, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1hehe I remember that black voodoo magic as well.
- sbgunn, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1I find the Wavebird GC controller to be good for N64 games, and better than the classic controller generally.
- aywwts4, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1I admit I was young at the time, but who else rationalized... If I plug sonic 2 into knuckles I can play as knuckles in sonic 2.... what If.... I plug Earthworm Jim into Knuckles then I can play as.... "No Way!"
- KingGorilla, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1up your butt! zing!
- ameztoy, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1what game do you need three inputs at the same time for?
- Gir53457, on 11/12/2007, -1/+2Why must everything for the Wii be shaped and rounded like it's supposed to go into an orifice?
