Christian Svensson visited the Unity Boards recently to talk about possible Mad Catz controller Street Fighter 4 PC bundles, FightPad availability and a couple of other topics.I was thinking of getting a SFIV gamepad, I already have the PC version on pre-order. But now that they might come bundled together at a lower price I'm wondering if I should cancel my order and wait for the bundle? — Tom
Sven: Bundles aren't final and I'm just now exploring them (they idea came from a few discussions I had with folks at Dice last week). I don't even have unit pricing from Mad Catz yet to determine if it's economically feasible so we're still in the exploratory stage.
If I were you, I'd keep what you've got for the time being.
Will the Mad Catz FightPads be available again?
Sven: As long as retail keeps ordering them (and they are) Mad Catz will keep making them. They aren't meant to be a one shot deal as far as I'm aware. There's no other product on the market like them and they're selling very well.
I just wanted to ask why you decided to collaborate with Mad Catz? Why didn't you just try to build the original Sega Saturn pads for the 360? — Adrian
1. Sega isn't in the hardware or accessories business. They have no distribution of accessories within any current business unit in the US or Europe. Mad Catz is the 800lb gorilla in that space, controlling more shelf space than anyone else in that sector.
2. What are you talking about not being able to use two pads on the same console. Of course you can. I've done it on my 360 at home with no problems. Additionally, the pads have been reviewed very well by critics and end-users a like.
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li: How did it turn out this way? — LBD_Nytetrayn
Sven: My mother always said, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. So I won't be commenting on this thread. Sorry.
