Could there be a Tekken 6 bundle with arcade stick? photo

If you'll think back to when Tekken 5 was released, there was a Ultimate Collectors Edition that came with the game, a case, and an arcade stick. And by looking at an early page at GameStop, it seems like something similar is in the works again for the next Tekken release.

Check out this pre-order page for Tekken 6. It says it comes with an arcade stick, and is priced at $149.99. That would have to be a pretty slick stick to make the total price that high. Unfortunately, neither this or the Xbox 360 page give any specifics.

As our friends at Siliconera point out, the price seems a bit too high for a Fighting Stick EX2 to be included, like they did with Tekken 5. Maybe these will come with the Real Arcade Pro versions from Hori. Wouldn't that be nice?

I'll probably just buy the regular edition and stick with my SFIV TE stick.

...$149.99?

Do people really have that kind of cash to burn on a video game?

I'll buy just the game thank you very much.

I've always played tekken on consoles. I don't know what I'll do with an arcade stick, specially one that expensive.

Just the game for me

Weird, as Tekken is not a fighting game with quarter-cirlces. It's all "forward, forward, punch/back,back,kick" gameplay. This is one of the only games I can genuinely use a d-pad with,as the cardinal directions are easy to pull off with it.

I'm with DaedHead8. I'll stick to my SFIV stock, and just switch out the square restrictor plate to an octagonal.

If it's a hori stick, pass. the T5 stick is really "meh" and now that the SFIV stick has pretty much stepped up the bar for arcade sticks included, it better be a damn good stick.

BUT knowing Namco, i'm not hoping for much.

I'm not really a stick fan, most likely because I've rarely played in the arcades.

We'll see how this goes. I still have no Arcade stick and I NEED one desperately. Probably just build my own though.
