While the parts used in the stick are not explicitly broken down, the fact that it's part of the manufacturer's Fightstick Pro line implies heavy usage of Sanwa Denshi buttons and sticks.<br /><br />For all intents and purposes, the limited edition joint appears to be a translucent purple version of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/25/mad-catz-street-fighter-x-tekken-sticks-up-for-pre-order-at-160/">Mad Catz's <em>Street Fighter X Tekken</em> stick</a>, and at $159.99 it costs about the same as well. Pre-orders are <a href="https://store.gameshark.com/secure/checkout/us/showCart.asp">now active</a> at Mad Catz's GameShark shop.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/06/madcatz-producing-limited-edition-evo-fightsticks/">MadCatz producing limited edition EVO fightsticks</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 06 Jul 2012 20:15:00 EST.
