Japanese retailer Rakuten has a new page posted for a NEO GEO Stick 2 for the Nintendo Wii. No images of the stick were available, but the item description states it should be similar in size and shape to the PS2 stick that was previously released (and a bit hard to find).

Thought some people may get a kick out of it, with some of the rumored Nintendo Wii releases coming out and the NEO GEO Virtual Console games.

Too bad there aren't nearly as many SNK titles on the Wii as there are on the PS2. Great stick overall though, Just wish they would remake the new style sticks.

That is hella cool if they release the old school stick .

I know what you mean BonusKun , after playing in the arcades alot and then useing the aes stick it always felt like it was going to fly out my hands, cause its so light .

But screw it , its a real Neo Geo stick !!:qcf:

Seems to be SNK Playmore will concentrate to produce more games for Wii in the future: Low productions costs and best selling hardware worldwide...

but nice the NeoGeo Stick 2 comin around. Nice to play the other Arcade Hits with it too...

Great to see this stick coming out, hopefully they'll follow with more compilations and VC releases as well. Looking forward to more details on the Samurai Spirits Collection since I never picked up Tenka, though it might not even be on it I guess.

Pretty cool.

I have the Neo Geo Stick 2 for PS2 and it's pretty much a perfect replica of the old AES controller.

I wonder if the Wii version will include any of the changes introduced with the Neo Geo Stick 3 model (slightly larger ball, metal stick, and overall heavier weight).

Don't want to get off-topic but does the Neo stick for the PS2 also works for the PS1?

I wanted one of these sticks, and I've only downloaded 2 of the Neo Virtual games. However, I just can't pay $9 each for those games anymore. SNK Arcade Classics is coming out on PS2 in April for only $19. It includes 16 of the same games! Accompanied with the other SNK Releases on PS2, it just doesn't make sense to dish out $9 each for them on the Wii. You get more games (because there's usually 2 or 3 on a disc; ie. Art of Fighting, Slug, KOF, etc.) plus cool packaging if you go the PS2 route (I don't have a PS2, but I play them on my PS3).

Just doesn't make sense in my book to pay almost $10 each for one game and not even have a cool package to display on your shelf.

Cool joy stick though.

Not only are the games cheaper and more are available. But I also happen to have a Neo Stick 2 for PS2 for sale :D http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=178217

Shameless? Yes.
Helpful? Maybe.
