Mad Catz is Back

After a several year Hiatus, Big Boy PR out of the UK announced today that Mad Catz was making a return to the accessories development marketplace, and had tons of new products and ideas in store for consumers. It’s been a number of years since Mad Catz was a relevant brand; if my memory serves me right, their last major production project was the equipment for the Rock Band re-release, prior to that development being taken over by Performance Design Products when Mad Catz folded. Check out the video below, and get hyped for the return of Mad Catz!
