While there was little doubt regarding Mad Catz and TEKKEN coming together to make an arcade stick for the upcoming fighter, it is interesting to note that their latest endeavour will be a bit more ambitious as it aims to be the first arcade stick to appear for the upcoming Wii U console. This could potentially promote the Wii U's future viability for fighting games on the platform in a competitive sense. You can read the press release below.
