Here’s a Sneak Peek at Razer’s New PlayStation 4 Atrox Arcade Stick

About a week ago, Evo 2016 champion Lee “Infiltration” Seon-woo from Team Razer dropped the bomb that Razer is hard at work on a new arcade stick for PlayStation 4. Now, it seems we have our first glimpse of said arcade stick.

In a recent tweet, Razer showed a promotional photo of the supposed contents of Infiltration’s backpack.  The centerpiece of the shot shows a blue Atrox featuring a new, larger switch panel with a touch pad positioned near the center of the stick (similar to MadCat’z TE-S+).

You can check out the tweet below.

However, it isn’t just Infiltration who has this stick in his bag. It seems that his teammate Xian also has the PS4 Atrox prototype in his bag, and has in fact been spotted testing it the wild. NCK Feroce from the Shoryuken forums was able to take some photos of Xian’s PS4 Atrox prototype at the CPT European Finals at Milan Games Week this past weekend.

In addition to this, it seems that Xian was using the PS4 Atrox prototype at SEAM 2016 as well. This is interesting, as Infiltration was mostly seen using a MadCatz TE2+, most likely the ones provided on the Steam setups at the event.

Combined with Razer’s tweet, these shots of the stick in what seems to be near final form being tested in the wild seem to indicate it’s almost ready for production. Razer have had it rough as of late with their arcade sticks, with the modded Atroxes that their players have been using suffering from issues at some tournaments, and most famously, Evil Geniuses’ Momochi suffering from a disconnect at Evo 2015 Grand Finals that almost cost him the tournament. A new Atrox built specifically for PlayStation 4 would address these issues while at the same time, give Razer a foot in the door for what is seemingly the console of choice for fighting games this generation.

Sanwa Denshi Signs M’ As Their First Sponsored King of Fighters Player

For the most part, Japanese companies have been slow when it comes to sponsoring players to play fighting games; so far, HORI has been the only company from Japan to do so. Now, another Japanese company is throwing their hat into the ring.

Sanwa Denshi announced this weekend that they have signed Japanese player M’ as their first King of Fighters player. M’ actually participated in last weekend’s KOF XIV tournament at Toushinsai as a player for Sanwa.

In addition to this being only the second time a Japanese peripheral company has signed a player, this is arguably the first time a Japanese King of Fighters player has received this kind of corporate sponsorship.

We here at Shoryuken wish Sanwa Denshi and M’ the best in this new relationship.
