During Tokyo Game Show 2014 last month, Mad Catz showed off shots of a brand new Tournament Edition 2 arcade stick branded for Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-. Now, they’ve revealed when exactly gamers will be able to get their hands on it.
The Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 will be releasing in Japan on December 4, the same day that the game is scheduled to land on home consoles in the region. The arcade stick will retail for ¥19,800 (~$183 USD), which falls in line with the pricing of other Tournament Edition 2 arcade sticks.
As with previous iterations, this arcade stick will come with genuine Sanwa Denshi parts, clamshell opening top, quick-release internal wiring, screw lock USB cable, and removable top panel acrylic cover. It also sports unique, translucent black side wings on top of the exclusive Guilty Gear Xrd themed top panel artwork.
For those in Japan who can’t wait until December however, the Standard Design model of the Tournament Edition 2 will be releasing on October 23. This model features blue side wings and top panel art similar to the limited edition Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2 Yellow that was available at Tokyo Game Show 2014. It features dark hai buttons instead of the latter’s yellow buttons, and is also priced at ¥19,800.
