A quick visit to MadCatz's suite at CES 2010 yielded some hands-on time with the new Wii Tatsunoko vs. Capcom FightStick and new Super Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition sticks for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
First up, the Wii stick is based on the Standard Edition sticks released with Street Fighter IV. Functionally, it's the same, but the stick has gotten a nice weight boost over the other SE sticks. The stick will also connect directly into the Wiimote instead of plugging into the console. Unfortunately, this means that you'll have to find someplace to put the Wiimote while you play. A dock for the Wiimote would have been killer. If you're going to put any serious time into TvC, however, you'll probably want to grab this peripheral for $70.
Hit the break for impressions of the Super Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition FightStick.
The Super Street Fighter IV TE has the same parts as all the previous TE sticks. MadCatz isn't going to change what isn't broken. There are two changes, however. The body of the stick is a bit smaller, which is less of a platform for your hands, but a lot easier to haul and store. The weight, however, is unchanged. Finally, the button lock, which previously locked the turbo controls and console buttons will now also lock the start and select buttons for even more tournament disqualification protection.
If you don't already have a TE, you'll want to wait for the new sticks, but there isn't anything major going on to warrant an upgrade if you're already rocking the TE.
For photos of all of MadCatz's CES 2010 products, head right over to our photo gallery! No? How about I tempt you with a picture of the new FightPad's for Super Street Fighter IV?!
I thought so! Click for the full gallery.
What stick do you play with? I have an original issue TE myself.

I remember I bought a fight stick an awful long time ago, yeasr ago. I'm trying to recall what it was for(and system) but I believe it was for Marvel Vs Capcom on the Dreamcast. It was actually green but I may be wrong. In those times, it was new and something worth it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm sure these days are as distinctive and afluent than before. But they sure look nice, :) I like the control pads on the 360 and I don't know, would like to see one on the PS3.
But they sure look very cool.

I have a Sagat Fight Pad (Wanted Cammy) And The Low End SFIV Fight Stick The White One for my 360; And They Are Both Awesome! However I just could not afford nor want to spend the money on a stick for one game on the Wii.

Begging your pardon but you obviously haven't got the slightest idea of what you are talking about. Madcatz used to make really cheap stuff, it's true. But they have come leaps and bounda in the last couple yeats.
If you knoew what the TE sticks were like, you'd understand that these sticks are made to true arcade specs, with real SanwaDenshi buttons and joysticks. These are the best quality parts in the world and are used in almost all arcade cabinets in Japan, where they are still crazy about fighting games.
I suggest you do a bit more research before saying something like that. You shoudl also give these sticks a chance if you consider yourself a real fighting game enthusiast. That way you'll know that these sticks are anything but junk. They are amazing.

I would never even consider buying these. Mad Katz makes really cheap crap that normally breaks within a 1 week period.

i was thinking of getting a fight stick for TvC, but that might cut into my psp fund, i have to get a psp because of KH: birth by sleep and i dont necessarily have to get a fight stick because i do have the classic controller and a million gamecube controllers. Besides it looks like it would drain the wii remotes battery life in like an hour or something, looks cool though and if casshern was a more prominent character on the stick then i wouldn't think twice i'd have to get it then.

Not a big fan of Mad Catz, all the stuff of theirs i bought broke within 2 months. Then again these dont look cheap

DAMN IM MISSING OUT ON THE SSF FIGHT STICKS

Awesome! I'll just stick with my current arcade stick for SSFIV. As for TvC, I'll just stick with the gamecube or classic controller.
