Mad Catz is showing off several new products for fighting game fans at the CES 2010 show.

Here a list of notes to it's easier to keep tabs on what's changed and what hasn't with their new controllers, along with a few visuals.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom FightStick — Wii
• This stick is heavier than the other Standard Edition FightSticks Mad Catz released for the PS3/XBox 360.
• The stick must plug into the Wiimote.
• A lack of a dock for the Wii more seems to be an oversight by Mad Catz.
• This has a matte finish to keep your hands from slipping around on the surface, which is also different than the other SE FightSticks.

Destructoid has a solid preview video of the stick, found here

Tournament Edition "S" FightStick — PS3/XBox 360
• The sides are slimmer now, but the weight was unaffected.
• The lock/unlock switch now locks the start & back/select buttons as well.
• Uses a new PCB (Printed Circuit Board) that is different from the original Tournament Edition FightStick.
• It a nut shell, there's slight differences and tweaks, but still uses same old goods (Sanwa parts).





Mad Catz FightPads — XBox 360/PlayStation 3
• The only change here seems to be the designs.

I got to mess around with the new TE sticks today. They're niceeeeee.

They said that they'll be avaliable for about 150$ around the same time SSF4 is released.
