Mortal Kombat X Controller Revealed

A Mortal Kombat X themed controller was revealed at the GameStop Expo earlier this week. The controller is very minimalist in design missing a D-Pad and triggers. The bumper buttons are laid out next to the normal buttons to be more accessible when pulling off combos. The design itself is weird and sports an asymmetrical design with the right side curved off. The menu buttons are along the top of controller.

Nothing will make you play MK better than a Sega Genesis controller.

[Serrafina]

Honestly, I would rather have the whole arcade machine with an attached stool. No offense to Sega Genesis controller, but that arcade machine really brings us back to the day.

Lol a controller designed for fighters that dropped the d-pad? What idiot company got this to the shelves? Should have died in the concept phase.

[badboyz09]

This is for xbox gamers only. PlayStation controllers are Perfect for Fighters!

[Brazz]

nothing can be compared to a good "fighting stick", but yeah... DS4 is realy solid for fighting (X1 is bad, almost as bad as X360...)

[Randostar]

Lol at all the people who took this seriously.

[downwardspiral]

I'm surprised that they used an analog stick instead of a d-pad.

[TardcoreGamer]

I believe it's not actually analog, the stick has digital mechanical switches (clicky).

[Thomaticus]

It's beautiful, but I prefer the nori fighting commander pro controller.

[DCfan]

No D-pad. Such geniuses.

[maniacmayhem]

Seriously, why is there no d-pad? The article says still appending approval so lets hope that HUGE mistake is corrected.

[pwnsause_returns]

...no d-pad for a controller made for 2D fighting? what the-

[XtraTrstrL]

Same sh*tty generic fightpad design companies have been making for years now. Looks like crap.

[JohnApocalypse]

Just stick with a Duelshock, fit MK9 like a glove

[bbad]

maybe its made by PDP. Looks similar to their past SF4 Controllers.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

I had a PDP it sucks.

[bbad]

yeah I know I had one too

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Dualshock is perfect for fighting games, and has been for 20 years. If you play on a PlayStation there is no need to buy fighting controllers

[Vegamyster]

At tournaments everyone uses arcade controllers unless it's a game like SSB Melee.

[Snookies12]

Not really, I believe the Street Fighter 4 champion won using a PS1 controller or something like that in the latest tournament... It's very possible to win using a regular controller.

[KillerPwned]

I must have this now....Depending on the price that is.

[sephsplace]

People saying no d-pad and that analogue stick.... but no one has stated this is an analogue stick, it is prob just a fight stick

[nunley33]

The no d-pad is fine for some but these haven't been approved for either xbox or playstation. I wonder if a 2nd stick will need to be added to get ms and sony approval. They could release it like that as unofficial but that wouldn't bode well for it.

[XxMajeSteRxX]

All the mayor KI fighters plays on the X1 d-pad controler,so dont knw why poeple are assuming the X1 d-pad is worse than the 360?? All my combos are deadly on the X1 d-pad, The click type d-pad on the x1 controller makes every input flawless,As for this controler no d-pad = fail

[Sgt_Slaughter]

The nub is an 8-way click stick. Not a regular analog stick.
