LittleBigPlanet Street Fighter Sackboys

Why not? It seems the best way to promote your game today is to dress up Media Molecule’s lead character as that of your own. If you’re a fan of the Capcom fighting series, you will apparently be able to pick up the character costumes shown above individually and as a package deal. No word on price or release date just yet. Sit tight.

street-fighter-iv-us-console-version-releases-this-winter-snowflakes-not-included

G4TV’s X-Play has interviewed Yoshi Ono, Street Fighter IV’s producer (to be seen on October 22nd’s episode of the show), and reports that the release window for the console versions of SF4 will be “this winter”. From the man himself:

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.

Street Fighter IV releases for PS3, XBox 360 and PC this winter, with no official arcade release as of yet. Anyone else looking forward to the new Street Fighter? I haven’t played one for a very long time, so I know I’ll be rusty. I just hope it doesn’t stray too far from the winning SF formula. Have your say in the comments.

Play Street Fighter IV and II HD Remix at Evo2K8

by Roly Reyes on July 8, 2008 at 8:25 pm

For the uninitiated, Evo2K is the biggest fighting game tournament in the country. And it’s about to get even bigger, or as Epic Games’ Clifford Bleszinski would put it, “bigger, better, and more badass.” This year’s tournament boasts that “Every [Street Fighter IV] machine on the continent will be there!” as well as “the freshest builds of SSF2T HD Remix.” Read more…

A small press release just hit my inbox from Capcom announcing that the first Street Fighter 4 commercial (the home made ones you have been seeing on Youtube don’t count) will air this Saturday night at 10pm on CBS durring the EliteXC Saturday Night Fights.

So in addition to rooting for Kimbo Slice (who deserves to be an unlockable character in SF4), you can now sit back and enjoy some Capcom Street Fighter commercial goodness — and for those of you who don’t know who Kimbo is, check out the video after the official announcement below. Read more…

The tenth floor of the St. Regis hotel offered up a Street Fighter IV journalist-only tournament, complete with an open bar and enough pizza to satisfy the great E-Honda.

Upon entering the hotel room you are greeted by a loop of Street Fighter II playing on a large wall mounted plasma, two linked arcade units, and plenty of journalists trying to cram in as much practice as they can before the tournament officially kicked off. Read more…

Street Fighter IV Arcade Footage Leak – AOU 08

sfiv_video_aou08.jpg

The undeniable force that is the internet has struck again, with a little help from what appears to be a video recording enabled cell phone.

AUO 08 Footage of the Street Fighter IV game has made it to the web despite Capcom’s best effort to keep things under wraps. No telling how long these two videos will be available before Capcom requests their removal, but you can view them after the jump. Read more…

Capcom has announced that Street Fighter IV will be a playable demo at this years GDC. I must admit that this news is right up there with the end of the writers strike.

As someone who is pushing thirty, I grew up playing Street Fighter in the arcades, and can’t wait to get my hands on this bad boy. A tournament will be held on Thursday night and I will be getting in some much needed practice before then. Read more…
