The FightSticks released by Mad Catz alongside
Street Fighter IV were surprising, to say the least, for Mad Catz products: despite some early technical issues, the Tournament Edition FightStick for Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 is by far the highest-quality arcade stick available in North America. The only problem, of course, is that they aren’t always
available. The sticks were produced in extremely limited numbers and initial shipments sold out quickly.
We’re very happy, then, to see new Tournament Edition FightSticks for PS3 and Xbox available for pre-order on import retailer Play-Asia. These sticks don’t have any Street Fighter IV artwork, but otherwise they look identical — and adding your own artwork isn’t that complicated. According to Play-Asia, the sticks will be available Q4 for $149.90.
[Thanks, John Doe!]
