Namco Stick Appreciation!

[meus]

Nice, I saw another one pop up in Australia today. It was $35 + shipping. Unfortunately the shipping was probably ridiculously high. I don’t want to pay $50 for shipping.

What will the shipping be on yours?

nice find kyle. The total on that namco shipped would be 75 dollars used.

For my shipping price was 4 dollars.

man i love my namco stick. I actually prefer the stock joystick to a JLF or any other stick. I modded the buttons and now its godlike.

Does anyone know if that stock joystick is identical to any other hori sticks?

For those in the UK, this for 50 inc. postage:

Nope, from my understanding the Namco stock joystick is the only one of it’s kind.

If you actually own it and aren’t joshing about selling it, I’d easily trade my Mad Catz Xbox 360 Street Fighter IV FightStick Tournament Edition plus cash for it. :wonder:

I’ll give you one of my Namco sticks for a TE stick if you’re being serious.

Sexperienced, by god was I serious!

However, you got to me a little too late. My Mad Catz Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition’s already been sold to another SRK member. Sorry my friend. :xeye:

Are there any flat commercial/readily available buttons that resemble the Namco’s? Preferably Seimitsu, but I don’t mind if they’re Sanwa. I’ve had Seimitsu KN and GN so those are out. I’m staring down the button page at AkihabaraShop and I don’t think there are. I’ve become very partial to them and want them on some of my other sticks. :looney:

The more I use the Namco stick the more i’m starting to understand…you don’t control the Namco stick…the Namco stick controls you!! :clown:

PS-14-G (not GN) buttons have a flat top, but are snap-in only.

[Sexperienced]

Well there is another option if anyone wants to obtain the Namco stick from me… lets just say i’ve got exams coming up and I need something to keep me “focused”… certain prescription meds arent available to me like they are to you guys living in the US… 1000tabs for a nam stick for free, (free shipping included). PM me.

Yep, drunkninja42’s got it down. PS-14-G buttons from Seimitsu are plane topped (that is, perfectly flat). I’ve been running them for a long time on my Hori Real Arcade Pro 2 SA and they’re by far the best buttons I’ve ever used. Also, welcome to the flat button club Kyle! Actually, I bought PS-14-G buttons after I felt the flat buttons on the Namco Arcade Joy Stick as well! :lol:

Beware the power of Namco! :chainsaw:

[jdm714]

Seimitsu PS-14-G is right.

Someone check on Zeetes, he may have had a heart attack over that!!

[zeetes]

sigh. all i can hear in my head is queen singing another one bites the dust…

interesting mod though, i’m kinda curious to see how it turns out since the damage is already done!

^ I’ve seen a few that said they were made in China. I don’t think it matters.

I bought another Namco from Yahoo Auctions Japan. It was in good condition with a nifty Japanese box. I think it’s going to cost me around $60 after shipping. I would rather play on a used one than unbox the new one. :looney:

Hopefully I’m done buying these.
