HORI Fighting Stick Mini 4 Now Available Through Arcade Shock

Transitioning to a new generation can be a costly proposition for most gamers, but expenses definitely begin to pile up as a fighting game fan. Apart from purchasing the console and whatever games you hope to compete in, those of us who rely on arcade sticks to get the job done typically have to shell out extra cash for modifications or, in some cases, completely new peripherals.

That’s where budget controllers, like those in HORI’s Fighting Stick Mini line, come into play. Their latest iteration adds PlayStation 4 functionality while still retaining compatibility for PlayStation 3 as well as improved buttons for a more clicky feel. Of course, you won’t find any of HORI’s fancy Hayabusa and Kuro parts here, but this small stick could be just the thing for beginners or players on a budget.

The HORI PS4 Fighting Stick Mini 4 is now available for $39.99 through Arcade Shock. Shipments are expected to begin sometime near the middle of December.
