You can all stop working on those homebrew joysticks because Hori has plans to brings its latest joystick to the U.S. According to Play-Asia, the Fighting Stick Wii will be released in Japan this August, followed by an “planned” release stateside. If you’re wondering why this stick is in production, there’s an upcoming fighting game which goes by the name Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core (the first of many 2D/3D projects I hope). For those of you who can’t wait, the import model can be purchased at the website for the wonderfully low price of $52.90. (Thanks George!)

Awesome news, but it’s going to be difficult for me to consider playing without my DOA4 stick. Has anyone out there bothered to create the first 360-to-Wii adapter yet?
