The U.S. release of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is just around the corner, so it should come as no surprise that a premium arcade stick from Mad Catz will accompany the game’s Stateside debut. Priced at $79.99 on the GameShark store, the official Tatsunoko vs. Capcom FightSticks is expected to be available between the middle and end of this month.
This latest FightStick pretty much looks like what you’d expect from Capcom and Mad Catz, with the standard eight buttons, joystick, and a turbo option — all topped off with some snazzy artwork from Japanese illustrator Shinkiro. It’ll connect directly to any Wii remotes you happen to have lying around, so there’s absolutely no chance of your kid sister tripping over the cables while you’re trying to pull off a particularly gnarly combo.
As an added bonus, Mad Catz also revealed that the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom FightStick will work with many of the arcade classics on the Virtual Console. They didn’t go into specifics, but it’s a safe bet that most of Capcom’s own vintage lineup will be supported.
