In parallel with this announcement, NACON's team of designers and engineers are pleased to confirm their collaboration with Marie-Laure 'Kayane' Norindr, the professional player, TV presenter and eSports specialist , in the design and promotion of this new accessory. Working closely with NACON on the development of the Daija Arcade Stick, Kayane shared her professional experience in fighting games to enable the teams to provide an arcade stick that more than meets the competition.
"Kayane is a brilliant player who has managed to establish herself on the eSports scene while conquering the public's heart," stated Yannick Allaert, NACON's Director of Development. "Her expertise in fighting games, her versatility and human qualities have made this collaboration extremely beneficial. After the success of the Revolution Pro Controllers the arrival of the Daija Arcade Stick, in our range of officially licensed PS4(TM) accessories, is a new challenge for NACON, and Kayane's contributions throughout its design will enable us to once again delight players," he concluded.
