NubyTech announced today the exclusive launch distribution through Blockbuster Stores of one of four series of Street Fighter Controllers for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Both companies have been closely working together in the development of this exciting line, which is uniquely designed to commemorate the 15th Anniversary of the Street Fighter series of video games from Capcom. Blockbuster will be distributing the Akuma Limited Controller to all Game Rush and participating Blockbuster stores Nationwide.
