Mad Catz Begins Pre-Orders For First Street Fighter V FightStick
Mad Catz has revealed the first product in its deal with Capcom for Street Fighter V – the Tournament Edition 2 FightStick for PS4 and PS3 (the game itself is only coming to PS4 and PC). Pre-orders have begun for the controller, which is expected to ship this holiday season.
The controller features 8-buttons, components created by Japanese arcade manufacturer Sanwa Denshi, modifiable controls, internal storage, swappable face art, and more.
The company has not announced a specific release date for the TE2 FightStick, but the product's webpage says that it will ship this holiday season.
This stick is the first Street Fighter V product with Capcom, with the rest of the slate rolling out in 2016.

Our Take
Arcade-inspired fighting game control sticks are nothing new. In general, however, pro-grade controllers are apparently becoming more popular – as evidenced by Microsoft's foray with the Elite Controller. Anyone biting?
