HORI Nintendo Switch Fighting Stick Mini - Street Fighter II™ Edition (Ryu & Ken) Officially Licensed by Nintendo & Capcom look and quick review

My first official Hori product. 

 


 










Out of the box:

 










It was either this or the Chun-Li/Cammy combo. Of course we want Ryu and Ken. Designed for the Nintendo Switch though it will work on the PC since it is USB based.

As for the Joystick, it works really fine. It uses the square gate that is famous for fighting fanatics these days. The buttons are sturdy and 95% of the time the controls are very responsive though I have difficulty sometimes doing a super move from time to time.

However, the negative drawback is that it is a mini stick, so if you have big hands, then this joystick may not be for you. Also, I tend to place the joystick on my lap sometimes and due to its featherweight, it might find itself slipping off.

Overall, its a good joystick. Its easier to carry around then the bigger joysticks most pro gamers bring with them. I was amazed too by how great the controls turned out. This is worth a go getting if you want something lighter.

Games tested: Ultra Street Fighter II and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection

Note: I did find myself frustrated on the 30th anniversary collection because Capcom decided to add the very hard revisions of the arcade editions of all 12 games. The cpu is very cheap in all these revisions, but it has nothing to do with the joystick for the stick works really well. Look this up. Many folks complained of the same thing about the cheap cpu. This takes away the fun factor a little, but still you can't complain much since you got 12 games in one. Just a side note. Toodles.
