<img alt="Mortal Kombat Klassic Fight Stick" border="0" src="http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lbox/800841b.jpg" align="right" class="newslink">Hot on the success of the <b>Tournament Edition</b> fight stick, <a href="http://www.pdp.com">PDP</a> is producing an extremely unique classic <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/morta_kombat_1">Mortal Kombat 1</a> styled fight stick. The cabinet design looks nearly identical in construction of the <b>Tournament Edition</b> fight stick, except it features some of the iconic design elements from the original game that started it all nearly 20 years ago.

<ul><li>Mortal Kombat 1 arcade cabinet control panel inspired graphics.</li>
<li>Appropriately colored buttons: red for punches, white for block, blue for kicks and yellow for run.</li>
<li>Red colored bat top joystick</li>
<li>Black side panels with red t-molding</li></ul>

<b>GameStop</b> has item pages for both <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=pd2w*IOD4qM&subid=&offerid=121938.1&type=10&tmpid=7050&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamestop.com%2Fps3%2Faccessories%2Fplaystation-3-mortal-kombat-klassic-fight-stick%2F90876" target="new">Playstation 3</a><img alt="icon" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=pd2w*IOD4qM&bids=121938.1&type=10"> and <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=pd2w*IOD4qM&subid=&offerid=121938.1&type=10&tmpid=7050&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamestop.com%2Fxbox-360%2Faccessories%2Fxbox-360-mortal-kombat-klassic-fight-stick%2F90872" target="new">Xbox 360</a> <img alt="icon" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=pd2w*IOD4qM&bids=121938.1&type=10"> that have the stick listed at <b>$129.99</b>, the same price that <b>PDP</b> is selling the <b>Xbox 360</b> Tournament Edition stick by itself. The pages also have a place holder release date of <b>July 1st</b>. We have to admit, these look extremely cool and bring back memories of the original arcade cabinet. While the run button didn't appear until <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_3">Mortal Kombat 3</a>, it's always fun to imagine what the original game would have been if it had featured one.

I bought 4 of the original Fight Sticks, now I need ANOTHER one? Dammit all... just shut up and take my money.

A quick side note for those planning to use this with the original MK's, the Fight Sticks themselves have a much larger distance between the joystick and the buttons - I've found myself wanting to move my hands inwards a few times to make up the difference. But this is still an insanely cool thing to have. I might have to get one for the 360 this time around.

Surprised you didn't say you'd just reproduce this on a spare stick since it's only a sticker really.

I'd love it to be a bit narrower actually it does feel a bit too wide but nothing that makes it impossible to use.
 
Wow, looks like the only thing that needs is some Johnny Cage side art and you'd be set. I like the fact that they went with a different look for this stick although I was expecting a lower price point since, beyond the color scheme, what's there to differentiate this from the limited Tournament Edition?
 
My thought exactly Shawn! Some of the dates on the web for the HD Kollection were around the same time as the release date for this fight stick. So is this a glimmer of hope that the HD Kollection is coming?

New Mortal Kombat + tournment edition fight stick

Mortal Kombat HD Kollection + Klassic fight stick bundle Koming?
 
PDP did a really good job making the fight sticks, I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

Now it's up to NRS to fix their netcode so use of these fightsticks doesn't cause the game to crash and desynchronize.

Will this be available from other places?
Gamestop won't ship to Israel :(

There were plenty of TE sticks available on Ebay that were just about the same price as ordering one from gamestop, and I imagine it will be the same for this new version.

Joe brings up excellent question, I have 2 Tournament edition arcade controllers and would like to know the difference if any with this classic colored version?
 
I should have just bought the game by itself and waited for this stick. I guess I'm gonna have to shell out another 130 bucks for this stick. I'm in love with it, literally.
 
i find it suspicious that they added a run button to the "classic"design.....something tells me this is coming for the HD Kollection....
