While Mad Catz is currently pushing their updated Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2, there are still a lot of players out there who are fans of their older Tournament Edition design. For them, the manufacturer has some great news.
In a recent tweet, Mad Catz’ Mark “MarkMan” Julio revealed that they will be bringing back the Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition S+. When it came out back in 2010, the Tournament Edition S+ represented the first major upgrade to the original Tournament Edition arcade stick. The design featured smaller sidewings and new full size art, and came out just in time for Street Fighter IV’s first major update.
The new Tournament Edition S+ comes with the same thinner sides but ditches the full panel art in favor of the smaller art and bezel combination as seen in the original Tournament Edition stick. Additionally, the stick also features the anti-slip coating feature in later variants of the original Tournament Edition line.
The first batch of red Tournament Edition S+ arcade sticks will release for the Xbox 360, which is still currently the console of choice for games such as Ultra Street Fighter IV. That said, MarkMan has confirmed that versions for other consoles will eventually be released later on.
