Coming February 14 for $US39.99 USD, Marvel and PDP’s wired controller drops the d-pad in favour of a sole thumbstick, one featuring “high quality micro-switch activators” and a “rubberized, over-tooled cap.” It is, of course, decked out with Marvel super-heroes, just in time for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, naturally.
More details, including the limited edition packaging for this new fighting game pad challenger at Marvel.com.

That said that control pad art is glorious. I’ll be using my Hori RAP3 Blazblue stick for MvC3 and MK coming up.

For shame Kotaku, for shame!

Nohandle: this time I had already read the comic so it don’t count
New Avengers Witten by Bendis with a large cast of pencillers. this double page spread was one of the highlights. Still, don’t like Hitch as much as when he drew The Ultimates.

Very nice artwork though :)
