LOL, no fighting stick should ever be more than $50. No way would I be willing to pay $90 for one.

ShyGuyJanuary 15, 2013

eight buttons seems like too many for a fighting game.

It might be a good deal IF its good quality, but the PDP stick they had for MK was garbage. They haven't even announced the manufacturer yet for this one. It's a bat top stick so it's probably a manufacturer that blows.

Injustice only uses four.

The stick art has Doomsday on it so I guess that confirms him for the game, eh?

The Mortal Kombat reboot was pretty bombass, so I'm keeping an eye on this game. The fact that it's coming to Wii U is at least a little reason to smile, I think.

It will have to climb over the mountain of other third party games waiting to beat down the doors to support the Wii U. :cool;

The WII U looks like it was left out again. Both the Battle Edition and Collector's edition are for Xbox/PS3 and the WII U is only getting the standard game itself.
