Mad Catz' Street Fighter IV products get UK date

SFIV is just around the corner, with a February 20 UK release date on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Due to launch alongside Capcom's beloved fighter are a range of officially cool arcade sticks and pads from Mad Catz. Pricing has yet to be confirmed on the four controllers as well as other accessories, including Xbox 360 and PS3 faceplates and "console skinz" and an official Street Fighter IV vinyl wall scroll.

Both the standard and Tournament FightSticks include dual-speed turbo on each button and a switch that, by the sounds of it, allows you to swap between D pad and analog modes on the stick. However the rather solid-looking Arcade FightStick Tournament sounds like the most interesting of the two, and according to the press release it's "sourced directly from arcade manufacturer Sanwa Denshi [and] uses the same Japanese style ball-handled joystick and 30mm Action Buttons found in the official Street Fighter IV Vewlix arcade cabinet, marking the first time such components have been used for a commercial product outside of Japan." With that kind of build quality, we expect there will be no blaming of worktools from now on.
