LOS ANGELES, CA – October 4, 2011 – Performance Designed Products LLC (“PDP”), a worldwide leader in the video game accessory market, today announced the Mortal Kombat Klassic Fight Stick for both the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Available now at various retail locations as well as through PDP’s website, the Mortal Kombat Klassic Fight Stick carries a suggested retail price of $129.99 and also includes a redeemable code for the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection, a digital compilation of the first three Mortal Kombat games.
PDP and NetherRealm Studios have collaborated to produce the Mortal Kombat Klassic Fight Stick, which features exclusive custom artwork. It has been designed as an homage to the classic Mortal Kombat arcade cabinet and its ergonomic button layout has been updated with additional design and technological touches to create the ideal joystick for serious console players. The Mortal Kombat Klassic Fight Stick is the perfect controller to complement the fighting action in both of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s recent releases – Mortal Kombat and the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection.
The inner workings of the Mortal Kombat Klassic Fight Stick are composed of high quality arcade parts from Suzo Happ, including upgraded and updated “cherry” microswitches. The underside of the Mortal Kombat Fight Stick is lined with velvet-wrapped memory foam for the comfort of players who hold the stick on their lap, while rubberized feet at the bottom corners will prevent the stick from sliding when placed on a table or similar surface.
Every Mortal Kombat Klassic Fight Stick comes with a code that allows Kombatants to instantly download Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection from either Xbox LIVE Arcade or the PlayStation Network. Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection brings together the original Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 in one exciting, spine-snapping digital release. Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection will offer fans the chance to play through the games in their original arcade state and rediscover all their favorite characters, fatalities and environments as well as relive some of the franchise’s most memorable secrets. In addition, this new collection will feature online play, leaderboards, achievements and trophies.
