Hori making Soulcalibur 5 branded fight sticks

Remember how Mad Catz is going to make those gorgeous, dynamically styled Soulcalibur 5 themed fight sticks? Well, if shiny bevelled edges and an LED-ready see-through plastic casing aren't your jam, accessories manufacturer Hori has a rather minimalistic alternative: The Soulcalibur 5 Joystick.

The stick's fancy name matches the rest of its aesthetic, and is slated for a January 2012 release, with versions being made for both the 360 and PS3. While Hori has yet to announce pricing or parts information, the size of the stick suggests that it will be similar to their Sanwa-packing $140 Real Arcade Pro. That's wild speculation on our part, of course, so while we're speculating let's go ahead and say that the stick is also filled with molasses. Gross, Hori!

Looks OK but probably cheap parts if this thing costs more than $50 it's too much.

@type2red
Hori doesn't cheap out on parts with their higher quality sticks. The little cheap $40 ones they make are poop, however. I love their sticks way more then madcatz since stupid MadCatz has been switching more to their special buttons and their special sticks which are POS. However for MadCatz TE they use Sanwa buttons but the actualy stick changes here and there, which gets annoying.

Also, Hori makes one of the best top-o-the line sticks possible.

How many freaking arcade sticks are going to be out there on the market now? Its like one for every fighting game that's produced (or re-produced).

Still have my trusty 15th Anniversary Street Fighter Arcade stick.
