Pardon my French, but you lucky bastard. :-p

I have it on my Dreamcast and it definitely is very awesome. Although,
it seemed a bit short. IS the GCN version any different or just a direct
port?

I do not personally own the Hori PS2, but I have played on the GCN
version
and it is very nice. The only Joystick I ever used on the DC was the
Agetec
green button stick. I have used the Cap VS SNK PS2 joystick by Ascii
which
is similar in feel to the Hori sticks. The main difference is the Hori
sticks have a tighter joystick spring and it's buttons aren't quite as
loose feeling. I still mainly use a NAMCO fighter stick that was made
for the PSX which is also a Hori stick. I been hearing from some friends
at Namco that the GCN and PS2 may be getting a cool bundle deal at SC2's
launch stateside. Basically, you get a SC2 Hori Stick, SC2 Strategy
Guide, and SC2 for $89.99 as a launch bundle. Seems like a good deal to
me. IMO, Hori makes the best non-custom joystick for any system. No
matter what those X-Arcade geeks say, I still think their product
stinks. If you have the moola and want a very nice US style joystick,
then go with a http://www.massystems.com joystick as they are
exceptionally well-made. Here is the website of a friend of mine from
virtuafighter.com who makes the most amazing Japanese style joysticks
from SNAWA parts. It has instructions on how to you're your own stick
and where to get parts.
