Saulabi arcade stick commercial. Be the envy of every fighting game tournament with one of these, which feel just like playing games in arcade room! Your competitors with their run-of-the-mill FightSticks and Real Arcade Pros will hang their heads in shame when they see the fancy look of your stick, and especially when you point out the metal mask logo!
As if you’d actually need to point out the metal mask logo.

Weird-ass Mega Man 2-inspired arcade stick by quizz_kid. It features Sanwa hardware, a trackball, a number pad, and an illuminated area with all the Mega Man 2 bosses in it. There’s even a Sniper Joe in a bubble for some reason!
While it kind of looks 2600-esque, I love that quizz_kid went outside the usual format for custom arcade stick: wooden enclosure plus fanart on top.

“Do A Barrel Roll” by Mikael “Orioto” Aguirre (click for wallpaper version). Hurray for more rad StarFox fanart.
Speaking of Orioto’s work, someone recently decorated a Hori EX2 arcade stick with his Gunstar Heroes piece:
Absolutely wicked.

“Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis” by Mustafa Maluka.
I don’t usually advocate using that many typefaces right next to each other, but this photo is tight as hell. No doubt, the SN Programmable Joystick was ruuuuuude!

Check out this dope situation: An NES arcade cabinet.
This is what was poppin’ in the Nintendo Fun Club — if you’d only taken Doc Louis’ advice, this could’ve been you rocking the NFC shirt with a matching pair of aquamarine and pink shorts. Peep the setup:
- Low key wooden cabinet? Check.
- Dual NES Advantage sticks? Check.
- Slots for standard and MAX controllers? Check.
- Room to flip the system lid? Check.
- Featured game slot? Check.
- Nearby electrical outlet with its plate blown off due to the situation’s dopeness? Check.
- Jizz all up in your hair? Check.

Custom Ren and Stimpy/Street Fighter arcade stick.
Acording to Tekken community notable and SFIV controller consultant MarkMan, one of the Ren & Stimpy show’s former animators contributed the artwork for this one-of-a-kind piece. I never imagined Stimpy as E. Honda, or Ren as Dhalsim, but the artist did a fantastic job fitting them into their respective roles!
You can click the images for some great high-resolution shots of the arcade stick. Here’s a close-up:
I’ve always wanted a custom stick to show off, and came thisclose to buying one from a talented Shoryuken modder four years ago, but it’s hard for me to justify spending $125+ on a controller when I not only suck at fighting games, but hardly play them anyway. I still have the classic Namco PlayStation stick, though.

Cheap Ass Gamer forum member controlcommerce wrote up an excellent guide to building your own arcade stick (for PS3/PC USB) without any knowledge of woodworking or soldering. The guide includes links to sites that sell the requisite Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks and buttons, as well as premade kit boxes and even custom circuit boards.
The project isn’t cheap, coming in at $150 or so, and something like the (shit hot) Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition stick is an easier option at the same price, but there is an undeniable appeal to assembling your own stick, even from mostly-finished parts. Building a stick also enables customization in body/stick/button color and artwork.
Sigh. For as terrible as I am at fighting games (like, “fail at single-player on normal difficulty” terrible), I am all about arcade stick fetishism. I’ve longed to build something like this for years.
Side note: does anyone else accidentally type “joystiq” every time you try to type “joystick?” Lousy internet.

These Street Fighter IV arcade controllers from Mad Catz (that’s right, Mad Catz) may turn out to be the best arcade sticks available in the US. The company has drafted NeoGAF/Shoryuken/pretty much every other forum’s MarkMan to assist with the design. The prototypes currently use all-Sanwa parts just like real SFIV cabinets (with the exception of the pads, of course), and there’s a good chance that the production sticks will as well.
Too bad they (and SFIV) will only be available for systems I don’t have.
