Looks like we won’t be playing Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition on the PC anytime soon. (Meh: we’re all busy playing Civilization V and F1 2010.) Capcom blames piracy, as always. → Read More
You’ll find no one here who’s not down for a round or two (or 10) of Street Fighter. No one! In fact, I’m half-convinced that that’s Greg under that helmet. → Read More
We’ve spent three posts covering Street Fighter IV for the iPhone so far, and this fourth one is intended to inform you Capcom’s latest game has finally arrived in the App Store (I checked the US, German and Japanese store). Capcom itself isn’t listing the app [iTunes link] on their official “Capcom Mobile” site yet, but it is already being offered for $9.99. → Read More
Yeah, this Street Fighter IV arcade stick looks better than Mad Catz’s efforts. It was created by a certain Mekishiko916, and it can be yours, too, if you’re willing to part with $190. → Read More
July 2, 2009. That’s when Street Fighter IV comes out for the PC in Japan. Of course Capcom hasn’t bothered to announce a release date for North America, because that would be far too useful and welcome. There’s no more to this post—short and sour—so don’t bother clicking “Read More.” God bless America. → Read More
Good—albeit ludicrous—news, PC gamers. Capcom will announce the release of the PC version of Street Fighter IV on Friday. Yes, you read that right: it’s Wednesday, and Capcom would like you to know that on Friday it will announce a release date. Okay. To top it off, there doesn’t seem to be too much going for the PC version compared to its console brethren → Read More
It goes without saying that most of us here at CG are looking forward to Street Fighter IV‘s release tomorrow. The game has been available for a few days in Japan, and rough first-day sales numbers have trickled out. Between the two versions, Capcom has sold (remember, this is only for one day) 116,000 copies of the game. There’s reports that stores there are having trouble keeping it on the shelves; then again, there’s reports that say you can easily find the game. Pick whichever you want. → Read More
Good God, the $80 special edition of Street Fighter IV is absolutely tremendous. → Read More

Even though you can find imported stand-up arcade units of Street Fighter IV in the big cities, Capcom will not officially releasing it here. You all know why: arcades in the U.S. have been dead for several years—when was the last time you or someone you know said “let’s go to the arcade”?—so it’s not worth Capcom’s time to release it here. That means it’ll be one of the only Street Fighter games to be released onto consoles without a prior arcade run. And yes, it’s still scheduled for a February 17, 2009 release for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Meanwhile, we’re all waiting for Capcom to release Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix to be released for Xbox Live Arcade and PSN later this month, supposedly. I fully prepared to stop playing Warcraft for a few minutes to run through arcade mode with Ken for approximately the 80 billionth time. → Read More
Street Fighter IV will come out in Japan in February. Capcom said as much earlier today at an event over there—“over there” being Japan and “Capcom” being the fine gents who developed the game. No, we don’t know exactly what date it comes out, nor do we know the North American release date. An animated (“anime”) movie is slated to appear with the first few copies of the game. Also, remember that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is scheduled to come out this month on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. That should hold us over till February. Thanks for the heads up, Steve! → Read More
Though still several months away, box art for the PS3 version of Street Fighter IV has been released. The US version feature Chun-Li, while the UK version has Ryu. The game is scheduled for release early next year for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. As a lifelong Ken player, I am Al-Sharpton-Outraged that dumb Ryu got a cover and not my guy. Who do I complain to? → Read More
Fact: Ken is better than Ryu Head on over to Super Arcade in Walnut, Calif. if you want to be one of the first in the U.S. to play Street Fighter IV. The SoCal arcade was one of the first to have Tekken 6 in the U.S., too. The address of Super Arcade: 1211 N. Grand Ave. Walnut, CA 91748 Apparently it’s only 50 cents per play. Too bad none of us on staff are even remotely close to SoCal. via Kotaku → Read More

I still play Street Fighter II Turbo on the SNES primarily with my friends if I play any fighting game at all, so seeing this insane trailer is kind of a shock for me. I love the art style and while I’m sure I would suck pretty bad at it, the gameplay looks pretty good. It’s awfully hard to judge without playing it oneself, but you can usually tell if something truly sucks just from seeing it in motion, and fortunately I don’t think that’s the case with SFIV. From this shot above and the one in the link, it looks like the art team hasn’t lost their sense of humor with the expressions. I wonder if characters will still barf, though. → Read More
Street Fighter IV news, friends. It seems the console edition—yes, there will be PS3, 360 and PC versions—of the game will have full-length anime cutscenes for each character’s ending. They’ll be animated by “famous” anime studio, and won’t be some man-on-the-street hatchet job. And if you had any doubts about the console versions’ authenticity, Capcom has said the game will be “arcade perfect,” a phrase I haven’t seen trumpeted since the days of Street Fighter Alpha 3. Pretty sure home consoles are now just as powerful, if not more so, than arcade units. Allow me to say, “eew, anime.” Not a fan. Sorry. via Computer and Video Games → Read More

I did, too. For some reason I was expecting a bit more and I’m not sure why I thought that. Don’t get me wrong, it looks great and I’m stoked to play it when released, but I had higher expectations. Nevertheless, enjoy the trailer and let us know what you think. → Read More
I suggest you set your DVR for CBS’s EliteXC Saturday Night Fights on May 31 starting at 9PM EST because that’s when Capcom will debut the first commercial for Street Fighter IV. You will also be able to preorder the game for Xbox 360 and PS3 immediately after the fight from Gamestop. If you don’t have a DVR or just won’t be around to watch it then fret not because you’ll be able to view the trailer at StreetFighter.com. → Read More
I’ll be honest; the last time I played Street Fighter was on the SNES, so I’m admittedly out of touch with what’s what as far as world warriors go. That being said, a new Street Fighter IV character’s been spotted in Famitsu magazine. His name is El Fuerte, which is Spanish for “The Fuerte,” if memory serves.

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/cne_flash/production/media_player/proteus/gs/proteus_embed.swf Yes, it’s true. There’s going to be a new Street Fighter arcade game. If you’re still into arcade games and still know where to find an arcade, you might very well love this game. I recently went to a Dave and Buster’s in Providence, Rhode Island and man oh man, do those little cards they give you with points on them make it a lot easier to spend money. I miss the old, dirty, germ-covered tokens. Many more Street Fighter IV movies at the following link… Street Fighter IV for Arcade Games Movies [Gamespot] → Read More
