The wii has not been a very good console for me in terms of beat em up games, mainly due to the fact that I don't pay much attention to the line up the wii has to offer.

Recently I've managed to get hold of the the Capcom vs series on the wii and after playing the game with just the wii remote I found that the controls you had over the character were very limited, when I played the game with the nunchuck attachment it was pretty much the same.

After some digging I found this arcade joystick and quite liked the design.

I initially though that the arcade stick would be a unit that you need to plug into the wii console itself, however this is not the case, the connection the arcade stick has is the same as the nunchuck connection, just plug it into the wii remote.

The controls are very responsive even for a wii remote with around 50% charge, with this controller plugged in you get alot more control over the game and character moves.

After some abuse to this controller I must say it has stood up to the challenge, I'm not the best gamer there is and I often lose against many of my friends, we all pretty heavy handed when it comes to playing beat em ups and often really slam the buttons.

My verdict is that this is pretty much the best controller you can have if you don't like using the classic controller or the pro controller or better yet, you don't have one yet.
