Neo Geo Stick 2 for PS3

joe8 · Jun 1, 2009

Looks like they are going to release a Neo Geo Stick 2 for the PS3 in July this year. the newer PS3's can't play PS2 games, so unless they planning to release Neo games on PS3, I don't know that there are many games u can use it for. There's KOFXII coming to the PS3, but how many buttons does that use?- KOFXI on Atomiswave used 5 buttons. If it's the same design as previous stick 2's, there would only be 4 buttons big enough to really use as action buttons.

Can't wait to see reviews of this stick. The PS2 ones were pretty good if not kinda high costing.

Its going to be the same as the ps2 one.

but that photo of it on play-asia had white NEO GEO lettering(like the wii). The PS2 had gold lettering, which is definitely better.

Out of curiosity, whats the difference?

the original stick had gold lettering, so it's closer to the original. plus it looks better.

Has anyone ever tried modding either of the Neo Geo Sticks with Sanwa or Seimitsu joysticks? I think it would be interesting, but I don't know how standard the sizes are on it.

yup, doesn't look too bad either. If I remember, they used 30mm sanwas.

24mm snap ins

If you search back there are a bunch of threads for it and if you check out the JNX site James has a tutorial there as well.

Yep. I really bit the bullet when I ordered my PS2 one from Play-Asia years ago. That was for KOFMI2, now people are doing the same for KOFXII.

Deuce · Jul 3, 2009

I've got two of the PS2 sticks... and they're really worth the effort. I wish I had cash floating around to get a PS3 one, but that's not in the cards. For anyone who's considering it, though, I'd say go for it.

xiao_haozi · Jul 3, 2009

Would it be worth preordering and paying the like 40 dollar shipping fee or do you think that there will be some floating around the import scene (like ncsx etc) soon?

The extra buttons are retarded but I guess we owe that to all the idiots that insists in using "shorcuts" in their button configurations. I wish they'd get rid off this idea of having extra buttons. I like the Neo stick but fuck the Neo Stick 2!

Professor Denim · Jul 3, 2009

i dont get it.how is this only coming for the Ps3 when the 360 is the one getting the real Neo love?with Garou, Kof 98,FFS etc

Jack Burton · Jul 3, 2009

If you already have one from ps2 just use a converter to use it on the ps3.

This one works well and is cheap.

I don't know what you expect them to do. Without the other buttons it's useless for playing other games. I use mine for SF4, although it doesn't work well. Some SNKP games like KOF XI use them too (Atomiswave has that fifth button). I don't find that the extra buttons get in the way.

The Pelican adapter is regarded as the best converter available for the PS3. It's a bit hard to get at a decent price though since it's been discontinued for several years. The korean InPin adapter is just as good IMO and it's easier to cme across one of these.

Yeah, like Genei-jin said they're pretty expensive and do the same exact thing as these adapters. Unless you get one really cheap, don't bother.

Kim Kaphwan · Jul 4, 2009

I can vouch for the InPin converter. I have 2 and they have yet to cause me any troubles.

I'm not too thrilled about shelling out $60+ for a cheap plasticy joystick when I'm used to arcade quailty. I reacently redid the CP on my MVS cab so I'm sure I can manage to make my own. My only hangup is wiring it for PS3 or 360. Any of you know much about wiring into to USB?
