GameStop Leaks PDP Mortal Kombat Klassic Fight Stick

That stick looks awesome. I have a hard time justifying laying down $130 for another stick. I'm happy with the TE stick.

My thoughts exactly especially with the info stating red for punch and blue for kick while the current MK has the top row for punch and not the first column.

I wouldn't read too much into that. First of all, they're trying to stick (haha.... get it?) to the classic design of the original arcade cabinet layout. I don't think they're going to change buttons or colors just because it doesn't go with MK9. Secondly, look at the TE fight stick. It still has the same exact layout (including "Run" button).

That being said, I do *hope* this Klassic stick will somehow be tied in with the HD Kollection, though I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing...

The TE stick is like...

[1] [2]
[BL]
[3] [4]

And the Klassic stick would be...

[HP] [HK]
[BL]
[LP] [LK]

....Not sure what game they are pointing towards with this new stick.... the things that make ya go HRMMMM...
 
Some points...

1. This looks really cool, and although I typically don't enjoy the feel of arcade-style sticks, I might have to. It's just so nostalgic.

2. Wait, people bought more than one TE stick? I mean, it's your money, but WHY?

3. I thought the HD Kollection was confirmed to be a no-go.
 
Only for the Yanks again what a surprise... An American Fightstick Made In America Only for Americans....

This stick is retro so the HD Collection you can expect it coming in July to co-incide with the release of this item a person from PDP confirmed it

1. Meh....

2. What about people who have a lot of friends that play or siblings that play against each other?

3. The HDK was never officially confirmed, and it's generated a lot of buzz for the MK name, so even if it's fake, they'd be dumb to say it's not real.

You're really mad that they're not offering this outside of the US? Who's to say it won't be available in other markets? It hasn't actually been announced, so it's availability isn't completely known.

The second part is a pretty grand assumption. They'll offer an announcement for the HDK when the time is right, but they won't just spring it on us.
 
Well, who knows? After all, this redecoed stick was announced really damn quick after the release of MK9 and the original TE stick, so it's possible they dropped this info bomb early to drum up interest in the alleged HDK. Still, I won't hold my breath. While it would make sense to do that to promote a remastered MK collection, NRS hasn't said anything one way or another on its official status.
 
on the phone to me because we could not get the stick over here in the UK and the sales rep from Europe said he was going to try and get some of these for the UK because there was none of the Tournament editions available for sale of MK9 in the UK and they got completley snubbed by the US Market looks like it may happen again but this will coincide with release for the HDK... why is/was MK9 top in the UK charts and they still want to snub us beats me.... keep it in America then your loss

It could very well be a plug for MKHD, but with nothing to go on aside from a rumored game and an unofficially announced controller, it's all wild speculation. Believe me, I'm as excited about MKHD as anyone, but I don't really think it's gonna drop with this controller. It would be cool if they announced this and the game at the same time, but that's the only likely scenario I would stake any claim to.
 
Had I known about this I wouldn't have bought 2 TEs

I wish that they would release this art as a skin (preferably plasticy 'slip in' as opposed to a sticker) so that I can use it on the TE sticks I already paid out the ass for.
 
So my little brother said something about getting the MK Arcade Kollection as a pre-order bonus. Can anyone confirm this?

It is confirmed. I pre ordered mine and was told this also. There is another thread all about the MK collection.
