Rumor: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Fightstick, Game Bundle on the Way

[Rock Raiyu]

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom proves that the Wii is a perfectly capable platform for fighting games -- except that it doesn't have a high-quality arcade stick. If these box images found on MadCatz staffer Mark "MarkMan" Julio's Flickr stream are any indication, the company behind the Street Fighter IV FightSticks is going to take care of that. Julio posted two images of a retail box for a Tatsunoko vs. Capcom FightStick using the same shape and layout as the company's Standard Edition Street Fighter IV FightStick for PS3 and Xbox 360. It would seem that response to the Comic-Con mockup (seen above) was positive enough for the accessory manufacturer to go ahead with a retail release!

The stick may be included in a special bundle for the game, as well. One Shoryuken forum user claims to have found both a normal and arcade stick bundle SKU in the GameStop database. We've contacted Capcom and MadCatz to find out just how we'll be controlling a giant lighter in a fight against Mega Man.

Exactly my thoughts ;/

Also, yet another plastic peripheral to take up space and collect dust... Guitar Hero guitar, DJ Hero turntable, wii classic controller, gamecube controller... Getting crowded in the cupboard.

I would love to win this but I cannot see myself putting enough time into it to justify the price.

You get used to it after a will.

hopefully its compatable with other fighting games or they make more games to use it with

Looks like a great stick, but if it's as poorly made as the standard edition SFIV sticks, then I'll pass. Then again, I already have a modded stick for Wii.

its an interesting device though there are many and possibly better as mentioned
brings the old retro style back which again definitely will help promoting the game
this is what i call thinking more than what normally other developers do
