Do you want to be able to buy arcade quality joysticks and buttons 20 years from now? Well you better be glad the prices are skyrocketing now because that means places like happ can stay in business. They sure aren't getting the majority of their money from actual arcades these days.... it's from people like us and yes, even the people buying the 1up cabs and upgrading them or building those horrid Pi cabinets.

Quality Joysticks can be found anywhere these days. You can thank fighting games for that.
I don’t see that changing in the next 20 years.

And the influx of the Jakks handhelds and 1up Arcade trash products isn’t what’s keeping happs in business. Casinos are. As long as gambling machines are still around, we don’t have to worry about Happs going down.

pbj:
JAMMA boards have always been fairly expensive, dude.

:dunno

Howard_Casto:
*sigh*

You'll never be able to buy new happ joysticks again if they stop making them. They don't exactly put a lot of joysticks and arcade push buttons on casino games and if there isn't demand for a particular product then they'll stop making it. The fighter scene yields almost zero demand because they are Nippon fetishists that only want sanwa style parts. I appreciate your input, but next time think it through before you respond.

I don’t know why you always gotta end with throwing shade in your responses. I’ve been making an effort to be cool with you, but you make it really difficult with quips like this.

Anyway, your point was about obtaining quality sticks. The Nippon fetish controls,as you do racially put it, like Sanwas are indeed quality sticks. They’re just not Happ Joys.

And I don’t know when the last time you went to a casino, but there are still MANY games there that still use push buttons, switches, touch screens, chrome t-molding, bill despensers, power supplies, led lighting....all these things Happs has in stock. They are not going to be in trouble if people stop buying Joysticks.
