I would wait for Mikes stick because the 8 way Nintendo have a shorter stick,smaller nonreplaceable ball and you have to replace the 8 way restrict or plate. Quarterarcade has 8 ways for sale $25.00 ea. You could buy one and a restrictor plate, you would still need a long stick. I have an extra stick but no ball top,but videogameparts.com has both.Any questions pm me and I'll help as much as I can.
