Super Street Fighter IV is getting the rave treatment before its release, and the excitement for it just got bigger! Blogged by Kotaku and announced at this recent Japanese Championship Tournament by producer Yoshinori Ono, the game will officially see an arcade release... well, in Japan first at least! The original Street Fighter IV also saw release as a coin-op prior to being ported and expanded in its console iterations, but SSFIV arcade will be a different affair, as it will be released side by side with the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, bringing the fight to a fair level for all brawlers out there! Fighting games were made for the arcade scene, and I'm happy and hoping that this baby will land in a mall nearby! To see Ono make the landmark announcement (in Japanese though), check out this video,and for more info, visit Kotaku!
While SSFIV expands its reach to other territories, let's not forget the console scene, where new marketing changes and additions have been made to promote the game's release. The North American version of the game had its box cover slightly altered, but nothing but a few cosmetic changes to what is considered to be the least favorite among the cover to cover bunch. Via Capcom's blog, take a look and see British boxer and SFIII veteran Dudley replacing Cammy in the final NA version of the boxart.
Finally, to cap things off, here's a brand new TV Spot promoting the game, with rapping and styling by rapper Just Blaze. Check it!
Super Street Fighter IV is set to fight on April 27! Get ready!
