 An arcade stick is a large-format controller for use with home consoles or computers.They use the stick-and-button configuration of some arcade cabinets, such as those with particular multi-button arrangements.For example, the six button layout of the arcade games "Street Fighter II" or "Mortal Kombat" cannot be comfortably emulated on a console joypad, so licensed home arcade sticks for these games have been manufactured for home consoles and PCs.
