Title: JLF joysticks
Post by: loraith on August 22, 2009, 12:59:10 am

Anyone know where I can get the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT besides lizard lick amusements? I would love to get them from them, but they seem to be really, really busy due to all of the SFIV custom joysticks being built at the moment. (around 2-3 weeks before an order being shipped) I live in the US, and I would order them from Ultrimarc if they stocked them. :cry: The I-PAC4 I ordered from them was here in under a week.

Thanks!
Jimmy

P.S. The reason I have choose these sticks is mainly I love fighting games. I have 2 children and lots of friends over however and we will be playing lots of multi player games as well. TMNT, D&D, Simpsons, Golden Axe, exc......
I guess what I really would like to know is, is the HAPP comp. stick good enough for fighting games as well as the multi player ones? I hope so as the comps are much less expensive lol. My reference for my stick choice was mainly

If you are in the US, there are several options stateside. modchipman sells the sanwa jlf and a few seimitsu models (ls-32-01 being the most similar to the jlf, ls-56-01 if you want a stiffer stick) at http://www.modchipman.com (http://www.modchipman.com). Theres also http://gamingnow.net (http://gamingnow.net), and usually several people selling lot of different japanese (and some happ/iL) parts on Shoryuken.com's trading subforum.
