I used to love wasting my pocket money as a child on arcade machines that loved nothing more than to gobble up my coins. Yet, there was something special about arcade games of yesteryear. Whether it be a gathering crowd to cheer you on or jeer your inevitable loss. It also gave us the best versions of those games that money can buy in comparison to the home console.
Check out the Daija Arcade Stick trailer below!
The vast majority of my time using theDaija Arcade Stickwas spent playingStreet Fighter 6,Mortal Kombat 1andTekken 8. Not only did this accessory replicate the arcade experience to near perfection, but I felt my performances were slightly enhanced when compared to using a control pad. It might take you a little while to get used to the button layout but you’ll soon find that your reflexes using theDaija Arcade Stickare a little more responsive, which can make all the difference in the heat of the battle. It’s also incredibly comfy when placed on your lap and coming from someone who suffers from arthritis including my wrist and hands, theDaija Arcade Stickhelped ease my comfort as a weight-bearing device, and with the added benefit of its textured palm rest.

This newer version of theDaija Arcade Stickis also very similar to the previous model in terms of quality, layout and functionality. The main features that it has over the previous model are the aforementioned app, but also a very handy lock button to prevent you from accidentally nudging buttons located on the side of the device and the 3-metre braided USB-C cable is now fully detachable. It’s also worth mentioning that as with the previous model, the new version is designed in collaboration with competitive Team Red Bull esports player, Kayane, known for being an expert with the likes of Street Fighter, Dead or Alive, Tekken and more, so it comes with that added quality and approval.
For a premium item such as theDaija Arcade Stick, it does come with a big price tag of €280 RRP which works out to be about £240/$300. It’s available in two models, PC/PS5/PS4 or PC/XBSX|S/XB1, respectively. That being said, this is a similar equivalent to purchasing a pro controller and I do believe that the price of theDaija Arcade Stickrepresents good value for money, especially if you’re a big fan of fighting games whether you’re casual or a pro. If you’re looking to relive those nostalgic arcade days or make the most out of your favourite competitive fighting games, then look no further than theDaija Arcade Stickfrom Nacon. It will be a purchase you won’t regret.
