Mad Catz Announce the SoulCalibur V Arcade Fightstick Soul Edition
When fighting games are released, especially some of the more popular ones, they are generally accompanied by their own branded fightstick for you to play your brand new fighting game with. The agreement with Namco Bandai Games will allow Mad Catz to release official SoulCalibur V fightsticks for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
“The FightStick product category continues to perform well for us globally and the addition of the popular SoulCalibur franchise leverages both our brand and market leadership.” said Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. “Leveraging licenses on a global basis is part of our long term growth strategy to build our worldwide business.”
Fightsticks are often seen as an integral part of the fighter genre, will you be getting this new fightstick when it releases with SoulCalibur V in the first quarter of next year? Do you prefer a specific brand of fightstick? If so why? Let us know in the comments below as usual, but before all that, how about some sexy fightstick screenshots?

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
