Madcatz has unveiled a new limited edition Marvel vs Capcom fight stick, ready for Capcom’s upcoming fighting game Marvel vs Capcom 3. The MvC3 FightStick will be packaged in a collector’s edition box with a limited production run of just 5000 units, each being individually numbered and ready to start shipping alongside the game on February 15th, 2011.
The limited edition fight stick is based on the FightStick released for Street Fighter IV and will feature Sanwa parts to recreate the authentic arcade feel. Sanwa parts are highly regarded in the fighting game community for their durability and responsiveness, making them a top choice for professional and casual gamers alike. The fight stick will also come with professionally illustrated artwork of the game’s characters, including Ryu, Wolverine, Captain America, and others. This artwork not only enhances the visual appeal of the fight stick but also makes it a collector’s item for fans of the series.
Features and Specifications
The Marvel vs Capcom 3 FightStick is designed to provide an authentic arcade experience at home. It features a joystick and buttons that are identical to those found in Japanese arcade cabinets. The Sanwa Denshi joystick and buttons are known for their precision and reliability, ensuring that every input is registered accurately. This is crucial for executing complex combos and special moves in fighting games.
The fight stick also includes a turbo function, which allows players to assign rapid button presses to a single button. This can be particularly useful for executing repetitive moves quickly. Additionally, the fight stick has a lock/unlock switch to prevent accidental button presses during intense gameplay.
Collector’s Edition Packaging
The MvC3 FightStick comes in a specially designed collector’s edition box. This box features exclusive artwork and is individually numbered, making each unit unique. With only 5000 units being produced, this fight stick is sure to become a sought-after item for collectors and fans of the Marvel vs Capcom series.
The packaging also includes a certificate of authenticity, further enhancing its value as a collector’s item. This certificate verifies that the fight stick is part of the limited production run and adds an extra layer of prestige to the product.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing has been released as yet, but as soon as it becomes available, we will let you know. Given the limited production run and the high-quality components used, it is expected that the fight stick will be priced at a premium. However, for fans of the series and serious fighting game enthusiasts, the investment will likely be worth it.
The Marvel vs Capcom series has a long history of bringing together characters from the Marvel and Capcom universes in fast-paced, action-packed fighting games. The release of Marvel vs Capcom 3 is highly anticipated, and the limited edition fight stick is sure to enhance the gaming experience for those lucky enough to get their hands on one.
