The BEST Arcade Stick available for Dreamcast., Nov 8 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Arcade Stick (Video Game)
This is the best. No subsitutes. Even the flashy gloss alloyInteract Arcade Stick cannot compare with this one. I have found that Agetec has put a lot of effort into their creations, unlike Interact, who develops a whole load of bad quality items. If you are deciding to buy an Arcade Stick, buy this one. Even though it looks plain, it works excellently and is very, very durable. I personally like the simple, ergonomic design, but incase you doubt the quality of this fine product, ask someone who you know actually owns it. I have recommended this Stick to many, many of my friends. And not one has complained. Not one. So ignore all the rumors and the stories. This is definetely worth the money if you plan to play a lot of arcade-style fighting games, but then again, Arcade Sticks are generally multi-use. A good buy, trust me.

A better arcade stick for the Dreamcast can't be found., Dec 17 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Arcade Stick (Video Game)
This stick is really a must-have for fighting or other arcade games, or in fact any games that require a lot of simultaneous button presses and quick reflex action. Just to clarify, this stick does *not* simulate analog control - it is a purely digital stick, as all arcade sticks are. Also, Agetec is owned by CSK Enterprises - which also owns Sega. This is, in fact, the Sega arcade stick in Japan, and is actually a first party stick. The quality is as you would expect from a first party stick - it's well built, with components that for the most part feel true to the arcade.The one drawback to this stick is that it has a square cutout for the shaft of the stick itself, so games that require circular motions to pull off special moves can be tricky. This is most definitely not true to real arcade controls, but it's a fairly minor complaint on an otherwise excellent stick.

Arcade Feel, Jan 13 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Arcade Stick (Video Game)
If you plan on playing any fighting games on your Dreamcast it would be a great idea to pick up at least one of these sticks. Designed by Sega and marketed in America by Agetec, it works especially well with games like Namco's masterpiece, Soul Calibur, and Capcom's 2-D fighters, such as Marvel vs. Capcom and Street Fighter Alpha 3. Although great for adventure games, the regular DC pad just doesn't cut it when it comes to pulling off the fireball style moves that fighting games are known for. The stick's exceptional design and sturdy construction make you feel like you've actually bought a piece of an arcade machine (which isn't too far off considering Sega's current arcade hardware, called NAOMI, is essentially identical to the Dreamcast). Though best for fighting games, it also works well with other arcade style games like NFL Blitz 2000. I, however, wouldn't recommend it if you only plan on playing Sonic style games (which is unlikely seeing as how the Dreamcast has become the fighting fan's system of choice). It may be a bit pricey, but it is well worth the money, especially considering the weak competition.
