Peripheral maker Hori has announced that they're crafting a special arcade stick to commemorate Dead or Alive 5. The stick will feature Sanwa parts (as is customary for Hori) and will be available for both Xbox 360 and PS3. It'll go on sale in Japan on September 27th for ¥14,801.

No plans for a North American release have been revealed yet, but if you have to have it importing an arcade stick should be pretty straight forward. It's kind of odd to see this game getting a stick when DOA traditionally plays so well on a game pad.

Dead or Alive 5 will be available this September.
