Well pretty much every fighting game these days gets it’s own arcade stick… why should Virtual Fighter 5 Final Showdown be any different?  Don’t worry, it won’t be!  Hori has just come to terms with Sega to produce an arcade stick for the game.  The arcade stick is going to use the Real Arcade Pro V3 SA model, it’ll feature original artwork and it’ll be released sometime this summer!  They’ll only be making this version for the PlayStation 3, so here’s hoping you have one of those.

Really it seems like every fighting game these days gets their own arcade stick.  I got a joystiq when Street Fighter IV came out, then from there they just started producing them for everything.  I don’t know how big the market will be for this particular model, but hey… at least we the consumers have options!
