This looks like a fun project for those that don't have a stick or is interested in getting one, but I'd recommend saving up a bit more for a HORI or get a Qanba/used fightstick if you can find them.

RyoukoI think you are missing the point of this kit. This is a self contained retro gaming system inside of an arcade controller stick. The HORI and Qanba are simply controllers that you attache to an existing computer or console. If you have a computer or console with emulators and your favorite roms then buying this would be less compelling. What I like about this kit is that you can take it anywhere you want and play retro games on an HDTV. The actual components leave a lot to be desired thought, i.e.; buttons, joystick, controller board. Massdrop should consider asking the manufacturer of this kit to sell a "bare bones" version that just consist of the controller housing and wiring and allow you to add the buttons, joystick, controller board, etc. I would buy this in a heartbeat.

I_love_stuffI definitely missed the point on this, I did not know that this was a gaming system as well as a stick.

I_love_stuffThat is a good idea. I will talk to the manufacturer about selling this type of kit to us. We can offer them both in the same drop so everyone can get what they want.
Cheers.
