Konami of Europe and peripheral specialist Thrustmaster have joined forces to release a flightstick specially optimized for use with Konami’s highly anticipated Deadly Skies air combat title for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. Thrustmaster is widely acknowledged as a leader in the field of innovative peripherals and controllers, and the new Top Gun™ Fox 2 Pro™ unit features four pre-configured button combinations specially for Deadly Skies. Designed to resemble a fighter plane’s joystick, with ten buttons conveniently located at the base of the unit and around the shaft itself, Thrustmaster’s careful design ensures that Deadly Skies’ arsenal of weapons and thrusters are easily accessible. As such, Konami of Europe feels the Top Gun Fox 2 Pro is the ideal controller for Deadly Skies and whole-heartedly recommends the unit.

Konami and Thrustmaster have worked extremely closely in the creation of the Top Gun Fox 2 Pro and both are confident that it represents the ultimate in flightsticks for the new Microsoft video game system and is a welcome alternative to the basic Xbox controllers. Both companies will be supporting the promotion of the unit, with reciprocal on and in-pack promotions and further cross-marketing actions to be announced.
