Done. I meant to post this 20 minutes ago but i had to #2 lmao

 

[SZSR]

Cool, anyone gonna opine on the fight stick? It looks cool to me, especially since the fight stick is angled.

 

[STORMS]

The fightstick screams AIAB....

It better not be wireless... is that a charge cable or to wire to plug t in?

 

[Mr Roguelike]

My only opinion is that gamestop has to hurry up and let me preorder this!

 

[Tim Static]

I will get 1 per SE and TE per console.

My only opinion is that gamestop has to hurry up and let me preorder this!

possibly early as tomorrow. if not Tuesday, then Wednesday.

 

[Krayzie]

Oh my god....

Speachless... Is this a, "Sorry for adding Kratos?" thing?

Why does it seem like one week they have "Fan-Boy" updates, the next its for tournament players. And the cycle moves on...

Sorry bout the what now? *drools over stick more*

 

[Dark_Rob]

What the??? Is this some kind of hoax? First, I notice Storms calls this a TE stick. Which to me suggests Madcatz. But Phil and I spoke to Markman at NEC and he told us they are not making a Mortal Kombat T.E. Has this changed? Did Markman lie to Phil and I? Is this Stick by Madcatz?

2nd. This stick appears to just be the normal UMK3 layout. But we already more or less know MK9 will use more than this. Im confused.

 

[Mr Roguelike]

I think Tournament Edition is actually what they're calling that preorder set. not saying the stick is a madcats TE (as I thought at first too)

Ok so if its not by Madcatz then who is making it? Has anyone confirmed whether these are HAPP sticks and buttons? Or just knock offs like the Street fighter anniversary stick from a few years back?

 

[THTB]

I want. The stick. Everyone here better be ordering Mortal Kombat TE.

 

[Shark Tank]

Me and Amazon have business this week, hot sexy business

Mark told me earlier this year Mad Catz presented NR with ideas, etc, but nothing they wanted. I am pretty sure these sticks are done by the company who did the SF Anniversary Edition sticks several years back.

So its gonna be junk I assume then? The box looks nice. Even if the parts are crap they could be swapped out i suppose. What Im really confused on is the layout. Tags,X-rays,throws,block, basic attacks. How are they making due with only a 6 button UMK3 layout?

 

[Tim Static]

Anyone got a price for Scheisse?

I got some educated guesses.

Single Game: $59.99

Kollector's Edition: $99.99

Tournament Edition: $199.99

Those SF AE sticks werent very bad at all.

Now this stick just depends on the parts they use. if its say, SF4 SE stick parts, then you'll want to add better parts to it. (IL + convex/concave)

but i am glad to know that my AIAB stick will work with this, or so it seems (same with all the other MK AIAB owners )

I wish we could see an extreme closeup of the stick. Id love to see what those buttons are labelled as.

 

[AC1984]

Nice find guys, Kollectors edition will be mine!!!! The stick looks awesome, but what I don't like is the space between the stick and the buttons.

i dont even think that stick is real. still believe its a prototype

 

[STORMS]

Looks like I'll be making even better friends with the cab...

Gotta get used to the stick and layout..

 

[BecomingDeath13]

I'm horrible on sticks and refuse to learn lol. I'll stick to the pad. I'm undecided on whether or not to get the standard or Kollectors.

I'm leaning more towards the standard edition and then I can just download the DLC for Reptile, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. Still I want the fucking Figurines and the art book....

Depends on what happens the next couple of months because shit always starts to pile up, and I end up having to use the money for more important stuff. Here's hoping I can get the Kollectors. If not the it's whatever. I'll live lol. I'll just steal the figurines from a friend and secretly have sex with them

Btw here's the list of the exclusives for those of you that haven't read them yet.
