With Tatsunoko vs. Capcom coming around the corner a new Fight Stick has been announced by Mad Catz. Now when I first heard that the next Campcom cross over fighting game was announced for the Wii I was a little scared. Like really the Wii-mote and nunchuck are nice but I could never play a fighting game on them. This latest model from Mad Catz, your Wii-mote slides right in and your ready for wireless play.

Campus Gamers always has Fighting Sticks avaliable at their gaming events because the control and play style with fighting sticks are much more comfortable for fighting games. I actually believe they do make you play better (but we do offer controllers there for people who are not fans of the fighting stick).

The Fighting Stick is priced at $79.99 on the GameShark store, the official Tatsunoko vs. Capcom FightSticks is expected to be available between the middle and end of this month.

As an additional bonus Mad Catz has announced the fighting stick will be backwards compatable. Nothing has been announced with what yet, but it is assumed it will work with you classic Campcom downloads on your Wii.
