Qanba Unveils Limited Edition Tekken World Tour Arcade Sticks

Bandai Namco and Qanba have come together to announce that new Limited Edition Tekken World Tour arcade sticks are soon coming our way. These limited edition of the Qanba Obsidian and the Qanba Drone arcade sticks are adorned with official Tekken art featuring the 8-bit Tekken character set and crying Heihachi logo. The arcade stick designs will hopefully become a memorable collector's piece to stay classy and relevant long after the year of competitive Tekken action at the Tekken World Tour concludes. Onto the functionality, the Qanba Drone maintains its design as a competitively priced entry arcade stick that is lightweight, smaller and comfortable making it an easy travel option. The Obsidian is the more extravagant arcade stick featuring quality Sanwa parts and a larger form factor. The Tekken World Tour editions of both sticks are said to go on sale later during Q4 of this year so keep your eyes peeled over at Qanba for news on when the new limited editions will go on sale:

Lab Zero Successfully Integrates PS3 Arcade sticks on PS4

Although not directly related to Namco's fighting games, it is definitely relevant to everyone's interests. Lab Zero games have managed to include the drivers for PS3 compatible arcade sticks with the PS4 version of the game and thus saving gamers 100's of dollars from investing in PS4 specific arcade sticks. Fans of Tekken 7 will be facing the same dilemma once the game hits PS4 eventually. Now that everyone knows it's possible and Lab Zero is offering the drivers for free to any developer that wants to use it, you all know who to talk to make sure this feature will be in T7. More quotes from the developer below courtesy of Polygon.

EDIT: Recently it's come to light that Lab Zero weren't solely responsible for the creation of the driver, it was a collaboration between Lab Zero and Naughty Dog.
