Mad Catz Interactive this week announced that it will release the Arcade GameStick for Xbox 360. The new peripheral will provide a joystick for Xbox Live Arcade classic titles.
In addition, the peripheral will include a free Xbox Live Gold trial membership and three top-selling Xbox Live Arcade titles.
“Our launch of the Arcade GameStick is consistent with our strategy of developing new revenue streams from video game software bundled with a unique controller,” said Darren Richardson, President and CEO of Mad Catz. “Retro-arcade games are a hot market segment, especially on Xbox 360 Live Arcade, and this officially licensed Xbox 360 Arcade GameStick is the answer for anyone that values the control and finesse that only a real joystick can provide.”
Among the titles included with the GameStick are Konami’s Frogger and TimePilot.
“Frogger and Time Pilot are classic games that hearken back to the heyday of the original video game arcade,” said Yoshinori Aoyagi, Manager, CEO Office at Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. “Having these strong Konami game licenses as part of Mad Catz’s new Arcade GameStick reinforces the product’s appeal to arcade game fans as well as provides the opportunity to introduce these popular game franchises to new gamers.”
The Arcade GameStick will be available this holiday for $59.99.
