Title: www.ArcadeShock.com: Hori/Qanba/Sanwa/MVS/AES/Capcom and more!
Post by: Giby on October 18, 2011, 01:04:31 AM
For those of you who don't know, ArcadeShock has been serving the community since 2003. We specialized in the collectors market at first then slowly moved into the fighting game market as well by becoming the biggest Hori seller in the US. We carry Sanwa buttons in a wide variety of colors, including clear in both 24mm/30mm

Check out some of our featured products:

HRAP 3 (PS3) (http://www.arcadeshock.com/items/hori-pro-arcade-sticks-/hori-s-real-arcade-pro-3-hrap-3-for-sony-ps3-pre-order-hrap3-accessories-detail.htm)

Hori RAP V3 (PS3) (http://www.arcadeshock.com/items/hori-pro-arcade-sticks-/hori-s-real-arcade-pro-v3-sa-for-pc-ps3-hrapv3saps3-detail.htm)

Qanba Q3-XS (360) (http://www.arcadeshock.com/items/qanba-arcade-joysticks/qanba-q3-xs-xbox-360-vewlix-q3-xs-xbox360-detail.htm)

We recently started taking pre-orders on Qanba sticks. What better way to get ready for KOF XIII than with a multi purpose stick? You can buy the game for either console and this stick will be good to go. If a tournament you enter is on 360 and you play it on PS3, not a problem, the Q4RAF has you covered! The deal sounds great, right? Well it gets even better! If you pre-order any Qanba stick you will receive a 27x39in KOF XIII poster for free!

Need some new buttons? We have plenty of Sanwa's in stock, and since day one, we are the only online store to offer free shipping (within the continental US) on all Sanwa orders that are 6+.

Check out the new hotness, the Sanwa OBSC-30 the rival to Seimitsu's clear buttons.

Sanwa OBSC-30 in Clear White, Black, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow (http://www.arcadeshock.com/items/sanwa-parts~buttons-balltops-gates-/sanwa-obsc-30-xx-sanwaobsc-30-xx-detail.htm)
Semi White (http://www.arcadeshock.com/items/sanwa-parts~buttons-balltops-gates-/obsc-30-hcw-sanwa-half-clear-pushbutton-white-detail.htm)
Semi Black (http://www.arcadeshock.com/items/sanwa-parts~buttons-balltops-gates-/obsc-30-hcblk-sanwa-half-clear-pushbutton-black-obsc-30-hcblack-detail.htm)

To add to these products, we have a nice selection of Neo Geo titles in both Home console and MVS! CPS1/2/3, Cave shmups, classic arcade titles, exclusive Capcom/SNK posters and more!

I haven't used them yet. The clear white buttons itself look pretty slick.

We updated the PRE-ORDER bonus for purchasing a Qanba stick, which we found to be more useful right off the bat for those who really want to maximize their stick:

Here's what you'll be getting with your pre-order purchase:

    Free Dust Cover (Qanba brand), color of your choice (indicate that in your pre-order) WHITE, BLACK, RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW
    2 Free Hole Plugs (Qanba brand), color of your choice
    1 Free authentic 24mm Sanwa button (color of your choice) to replace Qanba 24mm button - if you wish. 

Additionally, we will be offering the official Qanba Plexi Overlay panel for those who want to customize their stick with their favorite artwork.  So yeah, we're offering the full boat from Qanba.

I'm really tempted to join Team Qanba. You can't beat Qanba's price for compatibility on 2 systems, plus PC. I wanna add a new stick to my collection for Christmas, but I'm still undecided.

Any word on the arrival of the PS3 Hori Real Arcade Pro V3 SA?

They should arrive near the end of the month. I'll let you know when we get them.

I got my Qanba Q4RAF Limited Red (360/PS3/PC) a week ago from Arcade Shock. I had a Hori RAP V3-SA previously as well as a TE stick. I also have a Hori Xbox RAP EX stick. By far the Qanba stick is the best stick I've used and would instantly recommend to anyone who asks for stick advice. In particular I feel the stiffness/looseness of the stick perfect. The stick has a really good center of gravity and has a felt bottom so it doesn't slide around even on your lap. Also has a handle so it's easy to carry around, perfect for tournament goers.

I also ordered one around the same time also. I'm definitely happy with the purchase. This is the first arcade stick I've ever purchased so its good to know that I made the right choice. Now all that is left is trying to make this switch definitely going to take some time.

Giby could sponsor me, he pays to my travel for evo and he could brag that he has a player from south america, where KOF is widely played

then he will realize that I'm super free at XIII and destroy my ticket to return to chile

btw Giby, will you had more AES? I really want one, but don't know well the prices of importation and all the stuff

We used to carry a ton of home consoles, but you have to remember that we modify them to support AV/component/Svid and the price shoots up pretty high. I'll let you know if we get anymore in.

All of our modded Neo Geo systems have UniBios. I'll let you know when we restock :)

We're also having a nice SNK prizepack giveaway AND we're giving away a Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Hori stick. You have to like us on facebook if you want to be entered.

One last thing

Price? and I always had this doubt, but with the unibios you can use MVS cartridges or I'm wrong?

Someone mentioned awhile ago on SRK that Hori wasn't the first to create "silent" buttons and sticks. Do you know of any, and if so, do you sell them??? I just can't do the microfiber trick, as from what I've witnessed, it sucks... Thanks...

Does Arcadeshock happen to make custom cases? IF so, do you guys sell anything that is a bit more compact than a Mas Stick but still able to hold an American stick with Happ buttons in a japanese layout?
