Peripheral powerhouse Mad Catz announced today that it is cashing in on Killer Instinct craze with a themed version of its Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2 controller that's expected to ship Holiday 2013.
Previously announced at E3 2013 and used on stage during the E3 Xbox Media Briefing to demonstrate the upcoming Killer Instinct, the new FightStick will now carry fully licensed artwork from the game and feature button mapping tuned specifically for the new KI. Take a look at the controller above sans said artwork and do your best to visualize the awesome until Mad Katz releases an official pic for me to share.
“E3 greeted us with a positive reaction to our Tournament Edition 2 FightStick and we’re pleased that the controller will provide passionate fans of Killer Instinct with an even richer gaming experience,” said Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. “We earlier commented how the enhanced performance of the Xbox One opens up additional scope for innovation and believe that the Killer Instinct Tournament Edition 2 FightStick perfectly illustrates our commitment to the next generation of entertainment.”
Expected to be the first fighting game controller available for Xbox One, Mad Catz says the Tournament Edition 2 Arcade FightStick features arcade-perfect controls and has been extensively designed with the community and professional gamer in mind in an effort to offer greater levels of customization and quality.
