Mad Catz Announces Pre-Order Details for Street Fighter V Tournament FightStick

Mad Catz has announced the start of pre-orders for a limited edition Tournament Edition 2 FightStick, the first product in the company’s Street Fighter V branded fighting game controller range, through its licensing agreement with Capcom.

Compatible with PS3 and the PS4 systems, the Chun-Li themed stick has been designed as a precursor to the upcoming, all-new Street Fighter V themed range, expected to arrive in 2016.

A homage to the company’s Street Fighter IV Chun Li FightStick, the new limited edition controller features premium components supplied by legendary Japanese arcade experts Sanwa Denshi. According to Mad Catz, a solid metal base coated with durable foam padding provides weight and stability during tournament play, and easy hinged access to the FightStick’s internal components, allows for hassle free modification.

“Since announcing the new Street Fighter V range in March of this year, we have experienced an increasing groundswell of anticipation amongst the passionate gamers in the fighting game community.
