June 26, 2007 - Online retailer play-asia.com has listed a rather exciting new peripheral, the Hori Fighting Stick Wii. Hori is a widely popular Japanese manufacturer specializing in fighting sticks, and the launch of such a peripheral for the Wii will no doubt come as good news to fans of classic fighting games on the Virtual Console.

The stick is listed as launching in Japan in August of this year, and currently caries a US $52.90 price tag via import. Hori has confirmed to IGN that a US release is also planned. Stay tuned for more details as they are made available.
