Why Robin Makes Batman Better Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns was the first man to win titles in four different weight classes. That was more than 20 years ago. He’s now in debt to the IRS, and his possessions are being auctioned to pay the bill.
A $300 tournament edition fightstick on the grey market? Screw that. Reader Rotundo made one for himself and another for his friends out of $40 in spare parts and two shoeboxes. Oh, and one’s wireless.
It’s unclear where else the Street Fighter IV fight sticks will be showing up, but Capcom is saying that they’ve been told they will soon be getting more of the MadCatz controllers.
At that Gamestop managers show last week, pics were leaked of the Street Fighter IV Madcatz fighting sticks. Today, the Capcom blog announced this:
We are working very closely with Mad Catz to produce what we think will be the best fighting sticks and pads ever released, and we’re happy to see the initial reaction has been so positive… For anyone that’s ever been serious about their controllers, I think you’re going to be very, very happy.
Really hope that Capcom and Madcatz churn out a top shelf product. Players not only deserve it, SFIV deserves it. Dammit.

GameStop is now accepting preorders for Madcatz’ new Xbox 360 HDMI Conversion Kit. It’s an add-on that’s meant to replace component outputs in older, non-HDMI Xbox 360s to support HDMI. While Madcatz promises that the kit will allow full resolutions up to 1080p, the privilege will cost you $US 90. Yeah, that’s quite a bit of cash considering that it’s 20% of the price of a new Xbox 360 Premium bundle.
We’re guessing that not too many people will take advantage of Madcatz’ latest accessory, but with as stingy as television manufactures can be with HD input options, there’s certainly some segment of the 360-owning population who will benefit.
