A little while ago, MadCatz released a press release announcing that they'd be creating a Soul Calibur V arcade stick. It turns out they'll have some significant competition, because peripheral maker Hori also has its eyes set on the exceedingly gorgeous Soul Calibur V.

Although this one isn't named ass excessively as the MadCatz stick (Soul Calibur V Arcade FightStick SOUL Edition), I like the artwork a great deal more, particularly the PS3 version. They smartly use only characters revealed so far though, which I find to be the tiniest bit cheesy. The Soul Calibur V HORI Joystick will be available for Xbox 360 and PS3 in January of next year, as will the game itself.
