Dengeki PlayStation is reporting that no additional characters for Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition will be released post launch. So what you get with the Arcade version will be it. Arcade, which was officially announced this month after being leaked to hell and back, will be made available as DLC for PS3 and Xbox 360 on June 7. A disc version for both consoles and PC is slated to hit stores starting June 24 in Europe. It will run you $14.99 whether you purchase it digitally or on disc. Thanks, Andriasang.

Street Fighter IV has gotten a 3D release in arcades in China, according to an Arcade Heroes report. The release is a vanilla version of SFIV – meaning it’s not Super Street Fighter IV – with 3D support, which could mean it’s running from the PC version. That so happens to support nVidia’s 3D vision tech. There’s pictures of it in action at the link.

Thanks, Kotaku.

First he said no. Then he said maybe. But according to Korea’s Game Rating Board, next time Yoshinori Ono is asked about Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition coming to home consoles, he may well have to have to say “yes”.

Not a surprise really considering what’s happened this week.

D’Toid‘s noticed that Street Fighter IV is set to become a Xbox 360 Platinum Hit in the US, if it’s listing on Marketplace is right.

Sure enough, it does show it as a Platinum Hit on Marketplace.

Remember that Street Fighter announcement that was recently, er, announced? Well, now it’s got its own teaser.

Right now, the teaser page is counting down to 2009.09.29 17:00 JST. The site’s url, meanwhile, mentions a “new warrior.” In other words, we’ll presumably catch our first glipse of the next generation in paved pugilism on Tuesday, September 29.

What’s in the pipeline for Street Fighter? We have no idea. Would you like to hazard a guess?

Mad Catz has announced a second round of Street Fighter IV FightSticks and FightPads for this fall.

The new Tournament Edition Arcade FightSticks feature new artwork with character-specific FightPads featuring: M. Bison, Guile, Zangief, C. Viper, Cammy, and Sagat.

Made for both PS3 and Xbox 360, each are rather cool looking and can be seen over on Capcom Unity.

The full press release is below.

Over on Japanese Street Fighter IV blog, writer Natsuki Shiozawa promised that a solid announcement regarding a Street Fighter IV would be made in the near future.

Basically it was an announcement about an announcement, but surely Capcom would not even say that if one was in the works. Or would it?

Keep in mind that this does not mean it will be Street Fighter V, but a possible Alpha, Omega, Ultra, Mega, or Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious as the firm is wont to do.

According to Famitsu, SFIV producer Yoshinori Ono revealed that Capcom’s almost finished on SFIV versions of T.Hawk and Dee Jay. So that is something to keep in mind.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Steam’s weekend sale has Street Fighter IV on sale for half-off the original price.

Normally $39.99, for a limited time it’s $19.99.

Great deal there.

Wonder if this is part of what Christian Svensson was talking about during our podcast, when he stated that “you’ll see a few promotions happening very, very soon on Street Fighter IV PC that will make it that much more attractive for people to jump right in and try it on PC”.

Sure seems that way, but even if not, it’s still an nice deal.

Hit the links.

Capcom’s told VG247 that its not currently working on any more updates to its historic fighting games, but will almost certainly revisit its older scrapper titles in the future.

“I’ll be honest: right now we have nothing in development, but we’ve been pleased with how our fighting games have performed and our re-releases have performed, so I’d be shocked if we didn’t explore that further,” Capcom US business chief Chris Svensson said in a phone interview yesterday.

The publisher’s recent fighter releases needed some space “to breathe,” added the exec.

“We have put out a fair number of fighting games in a very short window,” he said.

“We had HD Remix, Street Fighter IV, MvC2, we’ll have Tatsunoko in the pipeline, and we have who knows what coming that we can’t talk about yet, but suffice to say there’s been a lot of fighting activity out of Capcom in the last year-and-a-half, and we probably need to give all of those products a little room to breathe and perform before we do some more.”

Svensson was talking to us for this week’s podcast.

If you were sitting on the fence about whether or not to buy Street Fighter IV on PC, it sounds as though things are about to get a lot simpler for you.

“You’ll see a few promotions happening very, very soon on Street Fighter IV PC that will make it that much more attractive for people to jump right in and try it on PC as well,” Capcom US biz boss Christian Svensson told VG247 in an interview yesterday.

The game currently costs £30 on Steam.

Svensson added that Capcom was “satisfied” with sales of the game’s PC version, although it doesn’t sound as though Capcom’s going to be flooding PC gamers with further fighting titles any time soon.

“Street Fighter IV was, truthfully, a bit of an experiment,” he said.

“We didn’t know how it was going to go either. There hadn’t been a major PC launch of a fighting game in probably over a decade… I’ve got to say that relative to our expectations, we’re satisfied.

“It didn’t set the world on fire, but it didn’t disappoint us. So we’re happy.”
