Arcade Stick For Soul Calibur II Announced

Thanks to IGN Cube for their article on the Universal Soul Calibur II Arcade Stick, which is being released by Nuby and Namco on August 31st, just after the launch of the ravenously-awaited Namco fighting game sequel for PS2/Xbox/GameCube. IGN explains: "The interesting detail about the arcade stick is that it works with all three consoles - no extra assembly required. All gamers need do is plug the appropriate end into the console of their choice and they'll be up and running." So you can use the same joystick to play Link, Heihachi, and Spawn, if you're insane enough to buy Soul Calibur II for all three platforms, as well as repurposing the stick for any other famous fighting games that take your fancy.

    ...load up linux[playstation2-linux.com] and play frozen bubble[frozen-bubble.org].

    I agree it's a great looking accessory, but $200 for playstation linux is outrageous.
    Stick with your PC and use a PS2 to USB adapter. It'll be cheaper, easier and, (if you happen to swing both ways,) you can also use the joystick to play Windows games.

  2. They have PS to Dreamcast adapters too. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative

    You could use the PSX to Dreamcast controller adapter to play the wonderful dreamcast version of the original Soul Calibur in style.
