Mad Catz, makers of fightsticks galor, isn't letting one of the bigger fighting games of next year go by without putting out a fight stick for it. They've announced the
SOULCALIBUR V Arcade Fight Stick Soul Edition for January of next year.
The fight stick will be available for both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. Jeremy's a fan of the fight sticks that Mad Catz has put out lately so expect another quality stick from them as well for Soul Calibur V. Check out two images of the stick below.
