Ace Combat 6 sticking 360s

$150 limited-edition bundle from Namco and Hori to include game, flight stick, and faceplate.

238 Comments

In what is becoming a semiregular occurrence, Namco Bandai announced today it would again be partnering with gaming peripheral-maker Hori to offer a limited-edition bundle for its upcoming flight-combat shooter Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. This marks the third collaboration of the two companies on a limited-edition bundle, with the first being a Flightstick 2 bundle for Ace Combat 5 in 2004 and the second being an arcade-style controller bundle for Tekken 5 in 2005.

Now arriving, the Ace-Edge.
Now arriving, the Ace-Edge.

In addition to the game, the bundle will include an Ace Combat 6-branded version of Hori's upcoming Ace-Edge Flightstick and an Ace Combat 6 Xbox 360 faceplate. The Ace-Edge is the first flight sim accessory available for the Xbox 360, and it will come in two pieces--a throttle control and a flight stick proper.

The bundle retails for $149.99 and will be available in limited supply at EB Games, GameStop, Gamecrazy, and Amazon.com this holiday season.

Ace Combat 6 will be making its Xbox 360 debut later this year and will retail for $59.99. It has not yet been rated. Check out GameSpot's first look of the game for more information.

Thats freaking awesome! I will be plunking down the change for this. The last ace combat was the ish for the ps2, cant wait for some hd flight goodness on the 360. Of course if your not a flight nut like me then this wouldnt appeal to you. "kick the tires and light the fires!"

If it were a real flight simulator instead of an arcade flight game, i would think about it.

That is a [I] ugly green... Why the hell couldn't it be LIME. There is a "Get a FREE Xbox 360 Elite" advertisement right next to the article, and that green is so much more Xbox.

If I didn't already have so many games to buy this year, I would get it, but I think I will just stick to the regular edition. :wink:

Woah!! I was about to say What the heck is in the $150 pack? THat joystick looks nice but Ace Combat is one of those games where having just the controller is the best way to go.

Damn it stop attacking my wallet. Though this is perfect, I'm almost going to have to buy this, granted there's no rudders but it should still make up for it. Though if it is USB, maybe I can find a way for my PC setup to work.

Does this perhaps open the way for a true flight sim on the 360? No, it doesn't, but man, I would love to see Flight Sim X on my HDTV.

The stick is great IF THE GAME ACTUALLY PLAYS LIKE A FLIGHT SIM. Total overkill though if it's just a typical console flight game with dumbed down fight physics and controls.

Do you get the game with it for $149? If so, that's not a bad deal, actually. (Provided, of course, that they support the peripheral with more games.)

A flight stick, throttle and the game for $149.99 doesn't sound like a high price.

This looks sweet!! I would get it if it wasnt $150!! Plus in Ace Combat there really is no need for a in depth simulation controller.
