Overline gives Wii owners "The Shaft" (Joystiq)

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Arcade, Retro, Nintendo Wii, Peripherals

Punny headlines aside, The Shaft provides yet another way to control all those Virtual Console downloads clogging up your Wii menu. The wired, 6" x 11" arcade-style stick from previously unheard-of Overline Gaming merges the proud tradition and size of arcade fighting sticks with the svelte, plastic styling of the Wii. It sports analog control for Nintendo 64 games as well as digital "resting points" in the eight primary directions for older-school gaming. Pre-orders are currently being taken for white, pink and black version for mid-December shipment -- $39.95 for one or $69.95 for two.

Looks good, If the Price really is what it says on the VC-reviews page, then I'll get one when they come out!

40 dollars? I can buy an adapter for every VC console and use that for that kind of money.

19 pound isn't that much for a Joystick, at least I think.
