Today Capcom announced on the PlayStation Blog that Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will arrive on the PlayStation Store Tuesday, Nov. 25. Capcom also revealed that SF2THDR is going to cost $14.99. With this announcement coming from Capcom, I feel safe in assuming that the Xbox Live Arcade version will be released on Wednesday, Nov. 26, costing 1200 Microsoft points ($15).
Capcom also announced that gamers who buy SF2THDR on the PlayStation 3 will get access to the Street Fighter Underground Remix Soundtrack. The soundtrack is a downloadable album featuring Street Fighter inspired songs by artists such as Redman, Hieroglyphics, DJ Qbert, DJ Toure, Zion I, Mistah F.A.B. and Oh No.
Today an image of the New Xbox Experience surfaced, showing a release date for Backbone Entertainment’s Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix. according to the screen shot, SF2THDR will be arriving next Wednesday, Nov. 26. While this is still in rumor territory, I have strong reason to believe that it’s true. Capcom previously stated that SF2THDR would be arriving sometime in Nov. Seeing as next week is the last week in Nov, common sense tells us that this rumor must be true. Assuming that the Xbox release date is true, PlayStation 3 gamers can expect SF2THDR on Thursday, Nov. 27 as part of the weekly PlayStation store update. Unfortunately there has been no price has been announced.
It seems like I have been waiting for SF2THDR for years. I firmly believe that Street Fighter 2 is the greatest fighting game ever made. Countless hours of my life have been spent playing SF2 and I can’t wait to take this tradition to the next level. My friends and I have even planned a party for when SF2THDR is released. Now that there is a solid date, I have some phone calls to make.
Capcom finally let loose details about Street Fighter IV’s console release dates. The game will hit the U.S. Feb. 17, 2009 and EU Feb. 18, 2009.
Unfortunately, the PC version still has no release date, but at least PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 gamers will have something to look forward to in the next three months.
Street Figher fanatics already know, but Gouken started out as an April Fool’s joke in EGM, based off a mistranslation in Ryu’s Street Fighter II victory text. He has since, however, made it into Street Fighter IV as a real character.
Gouken’s style is a slower Shotokan clone that resembles Akuma’s. Big hits and one-handed fireballs abound. Here’s the trailer:
Capcom today released a new trailer for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix featuring a classic song from an ’80s movie you probably don’t remember. Jog your memory and watch below, with art by UDON.
Enough with the teasing already. I feel like one of those pigeons scientists use in intermittent reward experiments where that have to peck a button to get fed, only it never happens. Every day I’m on the lookout for a Street Fighter IV U.S. console date, and every day, I go hungry.
Capcom revealed that its console ports of SFIV will hit Japan in February, with the first orders coming with the Street Fighter IV anime film Street Fighter: Renewed Bonds. That’s great, but what about U.S. gamers?
There’s still no word on the U.S. date for the game. Peck, peck, peck.
Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono dropped a telling hint when speaking to the staff of G4’s X-Play about the release of the game on consoles. He said:
There is no official North American arcade release, so we kind of feel bad that you guys have to wait for it. That’s why we’re trying to get it to you as soon as possible. Before the Japanese have a really long period of time to get really good at it first and totally kick your butt online…We don’t want to start rumors that it’s this year, but definitely this winter. At some point you’ll be sitting in you winter coat looking at snow out the window…and right then we’ll kind of heat you up a little with some hot street fighter action so look forward to that.
What does this mean? If you ask me, they’re missing Christmas, but you’ll see the game in early ‘09. That’s a shame because I was promising a friend I’d own his face over Christmas in SFIV, but now I have to settle for just hiding his toilet paper.
Capcom’s most recent communication about Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix is that the game will come out on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 “very soon.”
Yes, we know you want it bad. Here are some screenshots to tide you over (or not).
A new trailer of Grin’s Bionic Commando hit today, showing off more swinging around with wild abandon while beating enemy soldiers to a pulp. Not much more to say here…check it.
