SFIV TE Fightstick Availability Increasing

Street Fighter IV players demand smooth control of their character during every intense fight. No controller offers more precise handling than the MadCatz Street Fighter IV Fightstick Tournament Edition. Prior to SF4's launch the gaming press heralded the peripheral as a triumph for MadCatz. With the special integration of Sanwa arcade parts and the ability to mod the joystick it was easy to see why. Soon almost every SF4 gamer lusted after this ultra popular product.

Unfortunately for MadCatz supply has been a real issue in recent months. The demand for this $150 piece of Street Fighter glory has been rather unprecedented. Obviously many people took advantage of this period of time and sold their sticks for ridiculous prices on eBay.

Many gamers, including myself, wondered if it was actually going to be possible to obtain this precious gaming item without having to pay more than the retail price. Thankfully MadCatz has done their best to instill hope for the gamers without.

According to a statement by Alex Verrey the MadCatz global communications manager:

“Crucially, we WILL be making more and we aim to ensure that any gamer who wants a stick WILL be able to purchase one. We simply ask for a little patience and for you all to stick with us (no pun intended).”

The gaming community has done a great job of rallying togther to help fellow gamers find sticks. Also many gamers can thank the website WiiAlerts.com for the constant awareness of availability. Almost everyday this week I have been alerted that Tounament Edition Sticks have been in stock.

It has become very apparent that MadCatz is trying to meet demand. I would recommend getting subscribed with WiiAlerts.com or checking out Shoryuken Forums in the quest to of owning this piece of Street Fighter gaming history.
