Street Fighter V X Sanwa Denshi Balltops Now Available for Pre-Order at Arcade Shock
Arcade Shock is no stranger to bringing out Sanwa arcade parts featuring unique designs. A few months back, they released a series of Street Fighter V themed balltops and buttons, now they’re following that up with another set of special balltops.
This new series of Street Fighter V x Sanwa Denshi balltops features character art by Motoki Yoshihara. For those who’re unfamiliar with his work, Yoshihara is responsible for the Basara manga that Capcom publishes in Japan. Additionally, he also did the Street Fighter III: 3rd Universe design for SPLITFRAME.
The images on these balltops are done in Yoshinara’s unique style, eschewing the 3D model art look that’s more common today.
Pre-orders for these are now open at Arcade Shock, the balltops themselves will officially launch at Evo this July.
