Where can I buy a PC-compatible arcade stick in Japan?

myrothantos · (#1 (**permalink**))

I'm looking to buy an arcade style controller for fighting games for use on my PC. Rather than have a friend back home buy it for me and ship it, I'd rather just buy it here. What store will carry these kinds of controllers? I already checked Yamada, to no avail.

Thanks.

Akihabara. If it's related to electronics or computers, you'll find it there. Spend the day there, you'll find much more to see than just the electronics goods stores.

I'd just order online. Not only will you get exactly what you want but it will probably be cheaper too. I'm sure amazon.jp would have something that will get to you next day, free shipping too.

Akihabara

One of the top SPY locations in Japan.

Cool stuff too.

So myrothantos did you find what you are looking for?

Peace!

Sorry, "here" is Japan. I live in the countryside of Yamaguchi.

Yeah I had a feeling Akiba would be the place, just kinda far, but then again I'm always looking for an excuse to travel.

Yamada just had like, PS2 controller rip offs for the PC, nothing more. I'm gonna check another one later today.

Thanks guys.
