Arcade Power Stick II

You say you are in Rochester... Game Craze I take it? They have gone to shit in Syracuse.

That is the European one... same as the US one. AWESOME stick... buy it!

Yeah, the Game Craze in Webster. I used to go to the one in Canandaigua all the time, you could get 3 sports games in box for $2.12

whether or not it's good depends on how big of an elitest wiener you are. If you're the kind of person that ends any sentence about an arcade stick with "....as long as you change out the buttons and stick for Sanwa or Seimitsu." you probably won't like it. At the same time, it's probably the best non-microswitch stick I've ever used. I got mine for like $8 a couple years back and I don't regret it. The buttons almost feel like real arcade buttons and the stick has a much better feel than most equivalently priced sticks for other systems. I say go for it if you want the somewhat arcade feel on your Genesis.

I think TmEE mentioned something about a microswitched joystick version sold only in Japan, anyone know if controllers differ any from region to region in terms of compatibility?

They are compatible regardless of region.

I'm definitely not an elitest wiener with arcade sticks. I currently only have a Master System arcade stick.
