Once again they will be offering three different fight stick models with varying prices for interested new comers and veterans a like.
Mad Catz latest model the FightStick Alpha is a compact fight stick offering a vewlix style 6 button layout with the classic ball top lever which has a button enabling feature that can emulate both the left and right analog control scheme in addition to the D-Pad!!
This new stick will be functional with both the PS3 and PS4 consoles!! The Fight Stick Alpha will be the cheapest model pricing at $79.99
The return of the classic tournament edition Fight Sticks offer the same quality arcade parts that you enjoy with some new additions that will give you more compatibility then ever before.
