Behold, Hori’s Real Arcade Pro [[link]] EX SE. The SE stands for “Special Edition”. Why so special, when it looks just like Hori’s regular old 360 arcade stick? It’s all in the insides.

The EX [[link]] SE went on sale in Japan yesterday in “limited numbers” for ¥ 13,500 (USD$151). The appeal – and the limited [[link]] availability, and the price tag – comes from what the controller is made of. The stick, buttons and some of the insides are crafted from Seimitsu components, Seimitsu being a company that makes sticks and buttons for real, heavy duty Japanese arcade cabinets.
So you’re not getting a cheap, plastic imitation of an arcade stick. You’re getting an arcade stick. A heavy (2.6kg!), near-indestructible arcade stick.
