Holy 60FPS of racing awesomeness!

For those who may not know, I am a BIG Gran Turismo fan. I've played every game in the series... :)

Now to get a PSP Go as well... :)

Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition Joystick

Today I finally received my Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition Joystick that I had ordered.

I bought this to replace my Hori Fighting Stick 3 that has kinda been beat up anyways.

Fighting games is actually a genre that I really love playing. I grew up playing arcade games so Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter, and especially King of Fighters was pretty standard (as well as the other favorite arcade games like Metal Slug, Puzzle Bobble haha etc etc).

The nice thing with the Tournament Edition joystick is that it uses FULL SANWA parts. All the buttons and joystick are all Sanwa parts. The layout too comes from the official Street Fighter IV arcade cabinets. Mad Catz has essentially recreated the same layout and feel for use in your home.

It is nice, big HUGE, and sturdy. Has good gripping feet at the bottom, and big enough to sit on your lap (I actually prefer it). What can I say about the joystick and buttons. Pure precision. They are ultra sensitive, ultra accurate. The difference is huge between this joystick and my old $50 Hori (and at nearly 3 times the price, it better damn well be! LOL!).
