I just recently got into marvel vs. capcom 2 again and i really wanna play it with a stick. I know i can get a third party arcade stick on ebay for around $10 but i want the official one. Anyone know where i can get one for around $15 -$20? Any help is appreciated. Thanks ^_^

The one with the green joy and buttons, right?

No where will have it at that price range, unless you get super lucky at a pawn shop with the price and condition of the item. This stick wasn't produced in great quantities, and like you, many fighting game enthusiasts (especially MvC2 and other Naomi-based game fans) recognize it as the only worthwhile fighting stick made for the Dreamcast. Since you've seen the cheap third party sticks on eBay, I'm guessing you already know all this. Your best bet is getting a custom made joystick that is compatible with the Dreamcast or multiple systems.

I was looking at sticks recently too. Another option besides the potentially time-consuming search for an official stick, is to pick up an adapter so you can use whatever stick you want. The adapter itself isn't too expensive, and you can get from all the major import shops. However finding a good stick for less than $50 is just a challenge in general, DC or not.

Ok thanks for the info guys ill probably just save up some money and buy a good stick and an adapter rather than shell out around $30-$40 for the DC stick.

Lucky. I can't find that stick locally at all.
