If you're as much of a fan of SNK as I am, you will be thrilled to find out that the Japanese company has just announced the
NeoGeo Arcade Stick Pro; a fighting stick that comes with pre-installed games and can even be plugged into the TV.
SNK has revealed that the
NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro will feature 20 pre-installed and that its design was inspired by the NEOGEO CD's controller; although it has been enlarged enough to make it a proper fighting stick.
As mentioned earlier, this fighting stick can work as either a proper controller, or as a full-blown console that can be connected to the television or even PC; much like the
NEOGEO Mini they released last year for SNK's 40th anniversary.
According to the information on the
NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro's official website, players will be able to rearrange the controller's button layout and even connect some NEOGEO Mini PAD controllers for 2-player action; after all, most SNK titles — especially their phenomenal fighting games — are made with 2 players in mind.
SNK also announced that it is in their plans for a world-wide release of the N
EOGEO Arcade Stick Pro, although they have still to give us an official release date or price for this stylish fighting stick/console; we'll just have to keep an eye out for future announcements.
